LMR 175 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 “Every time a race car driver gets in his car, he/she can expect at least minimal injury – at worst, death. The excitement of beating that overrides all of that concern. You Shady Oaks drivers have come to know me as one of the hardest working and caring race track promoters you’ve ever known. My plans for Shady Oaks Speedway will continue through me or vicariously through me to become the most well-run facility you’ve ever been to. The Lord found Shady Oaks for our family and brought us here for that reason. We’ve met so many good people since our arrival. I cannot express our gratitude enough for that! The extent of my injuries, at this point, is serious enough to not know my future. But I do know, and you know, that I fight for everything I do and will continue to fight to survive. The extent of my injuries up to this point includes two broken shoulders, a broken back and a very bruised spinal cord – all of which have caused paralysis from the neck - down. I’m going on a ventilator in order to breathe. I have hope, as I have some feeling in my lower extremities. With this hope, I will fight for every inch of ground, to recover and come back as your Shady Oaks promoter. Please do not give up on Shady Oaks Speedway, as the people in place care as much as I, for the well-being of Shady Oaks. Shady Oaks is not just a race track, it’s a way of life. I thank each and every one of you for your support up to now and in the future. I will be back, but it might take a while. I’ve never loved anything more than my family and the life we’ve begun at Shady Oaks Speedway.” With Hope and Determination, Jim Scribellito Promoter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arob Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 May your recovery be speedy and complete. As well as being a big racing fan I am also a big hockey fan.Last year one of our ex-players was in a serious lawn mower accident resulting in severe burns to 70% of his body. This man has incredible family and friend support which his wife has said helped speed up his recovery.You seem to have similar support so in that area the prognosis is good. I guess what I am trying to say here is there will be some trying times ahead and patience will be required to get through them.But you can take strength and comfort from the outpouring genuine support from all the people you have met in your short time in Texas.Stay strong and you will get through this.

debwill Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Jim, Although I don't know you personally, I do know what it takes to keep a track going and earn the respect of your drivers and fans. You obviously have done both. I wish you a speedy, complete recovery and know that the your Texas racing family is behind you all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMR 175 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Any word on how he is doing? Thanks He is in high spirits and is SOOOOO ready to come back home to SOS. He has feeling in his legs all the way up to his thighs as well as in his arms down to his wrists. He is slowly recovery from this. It is uncertain how long this will take or how much damage to the spine there is. Just keep him in your thoughts & prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
