Joe has been a part of drag racing since the 60's and has spent the last eight years boat racing with the NJBA winning the pro gas hydro championship in 1999 and has been racing with the IHBA pro mod class this season. Joe was a wonderful man with a great personality and an even greater smile. He will be missed dearly. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Mills family. The news is good regarding Terry Wheeler, driver of the California Sound TAH that crashed last weekend in Chowchilla.
Terry is now home.
Apparently, Terry's arm got caught between the capsule lid and the capsule when it crashed and nearly severed it. The doctors were able to sew up the muscles and reattach many of the ligaments and tendons. The best news is that he was able to move his fingers on both hands, which is very encouraging. His right arm suffered multiple breaks in the elbow area, but the doctors say that it should heal and be almost normal. He will have to undergo months of physical therapy to get back some of his hand and arm strength.
