I just saw an update on Facebook from his tire sponsor Roger Kraus racing:
Posted by Brandon K: "Just saw a good friend of mine,Randy Mackintosh do 7 end over end in his race car. My prayers are out there for him and his family. It was one of the worst crashes I have ever seen. He was medavacked out. Hope things go your way Randy." If I hear anything else Ill do my best to keep everyone updated, sorry to leave a cliff hanger. I read it and my heart dropped and I'm sitting here stunned. I know a lot of people here know Randy, this is why I'm posting. Update: 2 broken ribs, broken clavicle and a broken wrist. Clavicle had surgery on it and it went good.

I just talked to Brandon-- no update on current condition, but here's kind of what happened (and I apologize if I misunderstood and get anything wrong):
Brandon was standing at the turn 10 corner worker station and saw it all, below is a track map.. Randy and one of the other cars were racing hard and Randy had just taken the lead. I forget his name, but the black ITE/STO turbo NSX broke an axle and was limping down into 10 to come into the pits, Randy came over the hill at 9 and either Randy (i think Randy) or the other car thought they were clear and moved over on the NSX making contact causing the initial contact. I think Randy was then turned into the other car and destroyed the rear end of it which caused Randy to go airborne and do the 7 end over ends ~20' in the air. The car sounds as though it's gone- safety net couldn't be seen, his arm (most likely broken) was hanging out the window, wheels were gone, head (in helmet) was out of the cage, etc..He was unconscious until the rescuers came over and then he was in and out of consciousness. they cut the roof off, extracted him, and flat-boarded him onto the medi-vac. (possibly to Chico..) The good news is he gained consciousness and was able to complain about pains. Injuries are unknown right now, and again, no update on current condition I'm sorry (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Brandon is going to call me tomorrow and let me know if they need help getting his truck/trailer home and hopefully will have an update then..or sooner.

OMG, this is horrifying to read. Thoughts and prayers to Randy and family. He would be at Enloe hospital in Chico if I got that name right.

This is the worst thing my wife and I could possibly imagine... We first met Randy and his whole family at L. Seca 2 years ago and he and his family treated our family like gold, helping the rookie strangers from Canada as if we were his good neigbours. Our hearts go out to him and the whole family and we are praying for Randy's swift and full recovery.

Thanks for the update, Chris - I saw your first post just before I left for the shop and have been worried all evening. I am relieved to read that Randy was conscious. Randy is a big strong guy, I am hoping he pulls thru and recovers quickly.
