Great to see the racing community chipping in to help a driver in need. So far, over $4,000 has been raised. Here is the latest update on Geoff:
05.09.15 - I just wanted to give everyone an update on Geoff. He's scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today, which is obviously great news! Geoff will have to wear his halo for probably four months, so he is facing a long road of physical therapy to get adjusted to the halo and also getting himself better. After that there will still be more physical therapy ahead, but we're happy Geoff is still with us and getting out of the hospital so quickly.
Thank you to everyone that has donated so far. This money will go a long way to helping with medical bills and also the loss of income while Geoff is out of work.
And the Styners send along a heartfelt thank you to all of you. They are very humbled to have so many people care enough to reach out and help them. Every donation, no matter the size, means a tremendous amount to them.
For those of you wishing to make a donation to help Geoff Styner with his soon-to-be enormous medical bills, TBARA & Floridasprintcars.com have set up a donation website (click on link below);

That is a horrible situation, but the link in the above post is a great article, a great testimony for good safety equipment, and a great snapshot of Geoff's wonderful attitude and spirit. Although scary to look at, the pic of the rollcage needs to be seen by everybody who buckles in without all the available safety equipment. Thank you to Richard Golardi for writing this piece and a huge thank you to Geoff Styner for his positive attitude, honest and well thought out assessment of the accident, and his determination to get back into the sport in any capacity possible.
Loose is when you hit the wall with the rear of the
car, tight is when you hit the wall with the front of
the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and
torque is how far you move the wall.
