I talked to Clayton today; Like Larry said he will be back as soon as riding season gets here!!!! (November) And the faster and better well it will most likely be a VW!! Because they can not be beat over all!!! He said thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for him.

I thought this thread was about Clayton.........


What's the latest, hope he's doing better.

We did get off subject. Some how it got high jacked .


Clayton is going to be fine. He will have a stiff neck but will live to climb another day.

Thank you turbo for helping me look in the right direction!!! You da man!!

Some threads are like hauling azz down a dirt road.
Every once in a while you end up against the guard rail.........

That neck thing is some scary shiat.
My cousin in Texas was in a pickup truck wreck years ago.
Truck flipped, slammed his head against the roof.
No belts in those days.
Paralyzed to this day..........sad indeed.

Clayton told me as soon as he got in the ER the Doctor looked at him and said the only thing holding your neck on is 2 pieces of muscle. Clayton said that scared him really bad. They told him that while they were packaging him for transport to Lexington.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. Belts do save lives!!!

Ok! Back to the point. I'm glad Clayton is ok. Hope to see him at the next hillclimb. Maybe next time I'll get a chance to look that buggy over. I like that setup! Where did the top bend Any pics

It bent right above his head. I love his buggy. It has lots of power and still pretty small. He can certianly think outside the box.

It is great to know that Clayton is on the road to recovery. It is scary to hear of anybody flipping over. I am sure that nobody likes to hear about anybody being injured, especially a fellow buggy-dude or dudette I'm sure, though, that he will be happy to see that his misfortune has sparked some ........lively........ discussion on how to make buggies safer and hopefully keep anybody else from sustaining any injuries as severe as his. I don't know anything about his buggy or how it was built, but I DO know that everytime a buggy is started up, there is a chance that it can roll over, so, I really do not see why people would be offended by anybody discussing how to make them as safe as possible.......Bottom line here is, you only have ONE brain and spinal chord and if anything happens to them, you could be messed up irreparably, and I don't know about y'all, but in my opinion, that would be worse than being dead. An awful lot of people have flipped lately and it is strictly by the grace of God that no one has had any worse injuries but I DO think that all this discussion about how to build a safer buggy is a positive outcome of an unfortunate accident. Clayton, if you are reading this, God Bless and God Speed your recovery.
