Jim Merten Jr. Injured - Contacts & Updates

[boatmark59]

Jim Merten was injured in a snowmobile accident on new year's eve. Details of the accident are still sketchy, but he suffered a head injury, and was unconsious for the first 14 hours. He is now on the road to recovery - he was moved from the hospital to a rehab facility where he is expected to spend what is estimated at this time to be 3-4 weeks.

You can find the details and updates on a message board his wife Jeanette has set up.

The Merten family has been a big part of racing history in the OPC catagory - now it's time to give some of that back. Jimmy is headed for a tough road over the next several months - a road that can be made smoother by the encouragement, support, and morale boost that comes from a constant flow of notes, cards, and messages.

Please take a few minutes, and regularly use this link to check on his progress and offer encouragement. Not just today, but until he is back to 100%, and is back to being many of our "secret weapon".

Thanks,
