Not sure how many of you know about Tony Scarlata's accident in Australia. I picked up on it on PB. Guess he barrel rolled the K boat and water caught the capsule and did something and his mask either failed or got damaged. Rescue got him out and he was transported to Melbourne. He has water in his lungs and they induced a coma to help him recover.   :(

Tony's one of the friendliest people I've ran into in the drag boat world. And drives the $hiat out of anything he gets in.    :good

Pull thru this Guru, we are all praying for a quick recovery :grouphug

Looks like prayers are answered!... :good

"From Kattie Jennings...Update~ Tony is hopefully going to get his Respirator out today. Lungs are getting better. Doctors are very pleased with his progress. He is communicating with David on a dry erase board. He totally understands what is going on and remembers the accident completely. David said he wants to set up and they won't let him. Today is a great day!!!!!! Keep the prayers coming so we can get him home!!!!!"

Yep, Wayne's boat has a the 451, it was supposed to be 470 per the rules for an open boat, but the wrong pistons got ordered so it ended up a 451!.. :D
