Tracy - In or out?
I haven't seen anything posted yet. Is PT in or out and/or what is his status, medically speaking?

Tracy said in the SpeedTV article that he felt pretty good and that he feels like he could race. Apparently it would be a bad idea because another accident could cause a much larger problem. He hopes to be clear to drive at Portland, but is doesn't sound like that is 100%.

Tracy in or out
Latest I heard was Portland possibly but Cleveland almost for sure. He does not want to miss the 3 Cdn. rounds.

They haven't announced a projection, from what I've seen.

He said Portland he should be back in the Speed article. But people all heal differently so I guess we will see.

Back injuries are nothing to play with. How he "feels" and what his back can take if subjected to the normal stress (and there is a lot of it) from racing are two different things.
Look how long it took Schumi Lite (Ralf) to recover from his accident at Indy. PT needs to take all the time needed to recover fully. Winning the championship this year won't be worth it if it means he reinjures his back and ends his career permanently. |

As back injuries/fractures goes his is relatively minor. Tracy is already back riding his mountain bike.

I hope he's cleared that with his doctors, and with Gerry.

Let's hope he stays away from karts as well (if memory serves me correctly, broke his leg in the 90s)! And if Montoya and Franchetti's experiences are any indication, "tennis courts" and motorbikes too.

Its that whole damn "living" thing. You'd be so much healthier without it.
