Heal up fast RAH.

Having firsthand experience (unfortunately) with a pretty serious crash, I can tell you guys that all of your continued support will mean a lot to RAH. When he's up to it, someone needs to print off this thread and take it to him. Keep the well wishes and prayers flowing guys and gals. This community takes care of its own like few others.

Wow... what a horrible way to start Grattan! But it sounds like Rich is in good hands. You guys are awesome to look out for him like that.

He will be in our thoughts over the next few days, but it already sounds like he is quite a fighter and with the guys looking out for him he will pull through.

You know-I don't personally know any of you guys, but I've never seen so much care and compassion for a member of of a community before. My prayers and thoughts go out too. Get well soon RAH.

Damn, man. Rah, obviously we're all pulling for your speedy recovery. Everybody else with him, thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation.

All the best to Rich. Glad there were great folks on scene to give him the best care right away.

And Mr. Solo - Thanks for standing by with him. You're a good man.

i am sorry to hear this. prayer sent. hope you make a speedy and full recovery

I came over the hump right after he'd gone down and he was laying there on his back trying to get up... He had to have been in an incredible amount of pain. It was against all my instincts not to pull over and try to help him.

Glad it wasn't worse and wishing Richard a fast recovery.

Richard's wife, Linda, here. Dave has been uncharacteristically saintly and I am grateful for him and his wife Nancy's support and love. We all appreciate your kind words and prayers as we wait for a more positive outcome. The current condition is that he has not been conscious since the emergency room but everything possible is being monitored. Thank you again and we are all comforted knowing you care about Richard and our family as we go through a tough time. Linda Herald <the one from whom the kids got their good looks - Dave>

Thanks for the update Linda! You have a wonderful husband and he's going to be alright

Hang in there Linda. He'll be up on his feet in no time.

As you can see, Linda, Rich has many friends here, and we're all praying for him and your family as you deal with this tough situation. Hang in there, and please let us know if there's anything any of us can do.

I think I read about him in RRW a couple years ago.

Yea, this sucks. I saw RAH in the grass moving and was relieved. I figured it was probably some type of hurt leg and in the grand scheme of things, NBD. Shows how much I know.

I didn't get a chance to meet Rich officially, but I saw him in the paddock. Tall, smilling, dude. You could tell he was really glad to be there. Sucks to have it turn out this way for him.

Regardless, I'm confident that he's going to be just fine. Prayers, thoughts, good Karma.
