2010 Chihuahua Express: Injured Racer Update

I received this comment on my 2010 Chihuahua Express: Race Cancelled Due to 2 More Fatalities post today and am including it here. Thank you for the update. Anonymous said... I found this blog browsing and thought you should get latest news. In both cases you have reversed the pilot and copilot names. Luis Angel is in critical condition in ITU. Two surgeries have been carried out, one to assess brain swallowing and second to fix broken hip and arm. He's evolving positive after surgeries and with good chances. Gerardo is OK at home. Nanan mass service was last week and it was unbelievable the number of true friends that were there. Very emotional. Thanks 29 March, 2010

2010 Chihuahua Express: Day 2 (w/speed stage video clips & way too many photos)

RACE DAY 2 - Thierry and Eric finished 5th overall and 3rd in the PanAm Class (vintage) in the Bag O'Nails. These are the final standings due to the cancellation of Day 3. I *think* the overall winners were Rodrigo and Rodolfo González in the green Maserati with Mockett/Fuentes winning the PanAm Class (3rd overall) and the #40 blue Studebaker 2nd in the PanAm Class (4th overall). After last night's solemn race meeting, and the decision to continue racing, the morning was quiet as well. Dennis and Eugen get ready for Day 2. Thierry and Todd prep for the day. Fernando and Rene chatting in the morning. Eric and Thierry. Eugen and Dennis. The Geezer. Eugen and Dennis. The Mustangs To Go Team: Rene, Brian, Dave, K, Todd, Geezer. Thierry, a rock star in his new race car. Todd and Rene put the finishing touches on the Bag O'Nails (duct tape for the rattle in the grill). Jake - busted coming out of the weeds, the makeshift baño. Sweeeeeet '70 Mustang spectator car....
