Yet another tragety that has left me numb. Alex brought a lot to CART when he raced with the Target team. I still remember him doing his victory donuts. I know this sounds funny but at least he has his life. Since they have the technology he will race again.

I seriously doubt that. too much in the way of physical side of driving a cart.

If he is determined enough Im sure he can do it. Hell there are amputies that run marathons sprints and even do hurdles. Its all about the determination.

Saturday at a race in Germany (they re-named it for the WTC memorial 500 or something like that.) Go to www.espn.com and watch the crash it happend in less than a 10th of a second.

I dont know if he will race in CART. The cars are very hard to get in and out of. Sports cars are a different story. There is a lady that races in the Speedvision World Challenge series that doesnt have the use of her legs. She has a F355 set up with hand controls. Its a pretty sweet set-up.
