Fellow Texan, Fellow Mustang racer needs our help

Fred, one of the guys here in DFW needs our help. His wife Claudette was running their car at the track here and the tires broke loose halfway down the track and she went sideways. The car rolled several times and she was ejected from the car. She was taken to an emergency room via helicopter. From what we heard, she has a collapesed lung, broken ribs, broken hip, everything on her face below the nose is broken. She is in critical care right now but from what I hear, she is stable and recovering. Fred and their three daughters are standing by hoping Mom makes it through.

I know some people here feel DFWstangs.net is a rough place but set those aside for now. We are talking about fellow Mustang enthusiasts here who need us in any way. Prayers, thoughts, Paypal...

"thanks for your support guys, it helps more than you will ever know... this morning getting the girls ready was really hard on, straightening the girls hair, giving them money for school, signing papers for this and that, I was tearing up just doing the normal things that I am used to watching c do... I can't even get on dfw stangs and read the posts without crying, so if someone would please post for me over there and tell them I really appreciate everything they are doing for me and my family, and it won't be forgotten... thanks to jet for staying with me last night, and rach for taking my girls to school for me... its 8:30 and I so want to call her at work and wish her a good morning like I do every morning... im sorry for such sad posts, but this site is the only way I can express myself... thanks for listening everyone..."
