Irvin, here's hoping you have a speedy recovery.

Travis

P.S. For those who have only seen Irvin racing S/S in the past few years, here is a photo of him racing his A/Gas Anglia at the 1964 Indy Nationals. His car is #423 in the right lane.

I understand the surgery went very well and they already have Irvin up and walking. He will have a few days of physical therapy in the hospital. Looks like he may be released Friday!!!

Get well soon and see you both in January!

Merry Christmas!!!
