Fremont Sun. pics.... I have some Sun. pics....will try to get them up within next couple of days...They are of the Benoit/Walter Joy 1000 open-mod Doo, my brother Gary's 700 Improved, 700 SS Cat, Sylvain LaFlamme's 800 Improved Doo, Bob Witmer's 1000 SS Cat and others. Shawn Wood also won 2 Vintage Sled classes w/his 2 Mercury Sno-Twisters. Big crowds. Late in the day Sunday, Witmer and LaFlamme were tied for best light/reaction time of the wknd....all these guys mentioned had 1st's and/or 2nds in their respective classes. Results should be up on the Northeast Grassdrags site and also some others. Some great car racing over at NED this past weekend (both days) as well.... WJ

Daryl, the kid that crashed doing the back flip is possibly paralyzed. Here is something his cousin wrote on one of the sites. Hopefully the kid can make a recovery.
"Thank you all for your concern. The update on Darryl is that they attempted surgery and every time they laid him on his stomach, he had difficulty breathing. So unfortunately, they were unable to do surgery at all. They have to wait until his lungs stabilize. In the meantime, he has been intubated to assist his breathing.
So far, it seems that he has some sensation in his neck and arms. But from the the chest down, it's looking like he's paralyzed. But we won't know the extent of the injury until they can get him into surgery and see the damage.
I will keep you posted as I receive more information. "
3rd sled to go off.
