Tom Giardino

BKSG1198 · 10-05-2010, 11:12 AM

Hey I know this is a Stock/Super Stock form. I know not everyone is a huge fan of Throttle Stop or .90's racing on this thread but, the point is if you run a 15 second stocker or a 7 second dragster we are all family, friends and racers. If anyone was at Atco Saturday night you witnessed a very scary crash in 1st round of Super Gas with Tom Giardino from Colts Neck, NJ. Here is a small update on the condition of Tom from the .90 thread.. please say a prayer for a fellow racer!

"I just wanted to come on here & thank you all for your thoughts & prayers. My dad was the driver of the super street car that crashed / flipped Sunday morning & was lucky enough to walk away with just a scratch. His best friend tommy is was the super gas driver that crashed Saturday evening. He is still in a very critical condition but came out of a coma today. Please keep him in your prayers, he has a long tough road ahead of him.
Thanks."

Prayer knows no classes, a racer in need of prayer is a racer in need of prayer. He has ours.

We are very sad to hear about this. No one goes to the track thinking it is their last race or last day to live. We will keep the family in our prayers.

In Christ,
