Gerard should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
We've been missing Sparky for a couple of weeks now.
In one of my posts I said I'd hoped nothing bad has happened to him.
Unfortunetaly, it has!
Sparky has been seriously injured while preparing a race car in mid December.
He has regained conciousness just a little while ago.
He will still have to stay in hospital for a couple of weeks.
If you like to say something to him or his family, you can do it here.
---------------------------------------------

My thoughts are with Sparky, his wife Michelle and his family.
Get well soon, Sparky, I miss you.

That's very bad news indeed.

I hope Sparky makes a speedy and full recovery - his sense of humour is sadly missed.

I too was sorry to hear that Sparky has been injured. It is another reminder (as if we need it) that the sport we love is a dangerous one for those who participate.

I hope you get well soon Sparky, making a full recovery!

That's terrible news, but thanks for keeping everyone informed Gerard.
Here's hoping that Sparky is well on the road to recovery soon - as Maisie said, that sense of humour has been missed around here.

Well I would just like to say to Steve 'Get Well Soon' and also I would just like to say that we might be lucky to still have him here! He could have been killed for all that you know! Anyway I don't want that to be the feeling as RIKB said the sport we love is a dangerous one and the one we all love!

Your enthusiasm and knowledge are sadly missed throughout Ten-Tenths.
My thoughts are with his wife and family and I wish them strength and faith in these terrible times.

Well it's now 2 weeks since this thread was started and I for one am still mighty concerned about the welfare of me Sparky chum.
Rather than fill Steve and Michelle's inbox with stuff, do we think another enquiry from Gerard would be appropriate?

I haven't contacted Sparky's family since I last received an e-mail from his wife.
Since this must have been and probably still is an emotional occurrence I thought it better to leave them alone as much as possible.
However, I share Invader's thoughts, and like him and many others, I'm still concerned.
Therefore I agree in sending an e-mail to express these concerns to his family.
I do not know if the time is right for them to respond, but if they do, I will notify everybody on this board immediately at this forum.

Blimey! I leave the place for ten minutes...


Seriously, guys I really appreciate your sentiments.

I've been home for a while now, but I'm only just getting 'with it'.


Thanks, and I'll speak to you all soon.
