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

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.

Good Luck Irvin, All these people and their surgeries brings a whole new meaning to the term a "winter rebuild". We are all getting to this age range. Do well Irvin. We'll talk later... Dick Butler

It's Hell to get a little older, hang in there Irvin. By the way does anyone know anybody that has a couple of extra knee's, I could use a couple of those.

best of luck and a speedy recovery. jim

How about your self Travis, I hope the leg is well on it's way to mending. With all the changes this year we need you back in the pits. Have a merry christmas and god's speed to get back on your feet. jim

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!!!
