Don Barnett wreck....

Pretty sure Don is a member on here, and most in this forum know the car. Just happened to check YB this morning and find out about it.

Thoughts and well wishes to Don

Damn, he hit that wall hard... From the YB thread, seems like he is okay, just shattered his foot. I hope he has a speed recovery!

That really sucks. I love that car, and I've never heard a negative thing about the guy

Re: Don Barnett wreck....

was a new setup this season and was looking great so far. i really hate to see this. hope he can fix this car or get another chassis going with the same setup.... instead of putting a foxbody together like everyone else.
