As most of you know I cant drive my car due to ongoing health issues. My wife and I had a long discussion and we are going to let the grandson Alex take a crack at it. He is aware that he will be responsible for breakage and other things that could occur during racing. It is difficult for me to make this decision and wish him the best. I had health issues again last Thursday night and was transported back to the University of Iowa hospitals and Clinics for a possible stroke as my left leg and arm went limp along with numbing of my cheek. Turned out to be scar tissue from a previous surgery causing it to happen and there was no stroke. They did find a small aneurysm in the lower brain stem that formed within the last year. Not happy about that! I am waiting for the surgeon to call and will keep everyone posted! thanks guys!! Ted

Man, take care of yourself Ted and the car will do whatever you decide when the time is right. Glad it wasn't as bad as you thought...........

Thinking of you ! Hang in there! You will really enjoy bringing that young gun along--best role you can play is passing it on

So sorry to hear that, but glad it isn't worse.

It'll be good to see the Dodge going down the track again, albeit without your expert driving. Seeing that one run always made the trip to Cedar Falls worth it!

Best wishes and prayers for you on the way.

Take care of yourself Ted! You might enjoy having you Grandson drive more then yourself.

Continued thoughts and Prayers Ted.

Prayers and good luck Ted!

Hope you get better Ted and hopefully your grandson will do well w/ the car!

Will be in our thoughts, hope all will work out for you ..

Stiff upper lip my friend! My thoughts are with you. John

We are praying for you. You are an inspiration to us here.

Hope you get better Ted

Wishing you a full recovery Ted, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Prayers for you Ted. Have fun with the grandson.
Doug

Hang in there buddy!! and I'm sure he will do you proud

Gotta look on the bright side, that it wasn't a stroke and that they found the aneurysm. Hopefully it won't be an issue. But you are still part of that car and hopefully your grandson will make you proud all around. I'm sure you'll be a good teacher and crew chief/advisor. Always enjoy reading what others have going on and there is always something new to learn from these forums. Time will catch up to all of us eventually. Take care.

Good luck, we all should pray for Ted now
I can't remember any old people telling me you better be tough if your going to get old
The last part of this trip, life, is not easy for any of us
I've thought of trying to let one of my three grandsons drive my current car, only one of them has any interest in doing that He lives 350 miles north of us in Tacoma, WA so it would be a weekend trip for each race, he has to work Saturdays also so that makes it harder for me to justify that, maybe some day
Get well

PRAYERS best to you.....

Ted, while you may not be behind the wheel for now, you are still in the car each time it makes a pass, good luck to you and your grandson and may you two have the time of your lives while you can, Take care of your self and keep us posted.

Ted... glad it wasnt a stroke.. been there..
you take care of yourself... hope the grandson
can get in the seat for ya...
