Last summer, a month before the Seattle Pinks All Out event, my buddy had a triple bypass. He said he wasn't going to miss the race, so on that weekend, we did all the crewing, maintenence, car prep, what ever was needed. All he did was drive the car after we strapped him in. He got tired very easily, and left early after he was done. I don't think to this day his Dr. knows about it. I'll grant you it wasn't a stick car, so there wasn't as much pull on his chest "zipper", but he weathered the storm and got through it.
His will to race took over his better judgement that weekend and he was lucky nothing happened to adversly affect him. Hes doing just fine nowadays, just as bull headed and crazy as ever, but taking life a little easier than before.
