Thanks for the great write up!
My guess is it happened when his foot went between the gas and brake pedals about 30 times a second during each of his practice starts.

PCA event? I'm betting it's not a sprained ankle, but rather gout from the shellfish buffet.

Awesome story Toby. Sorry about the ankle, which happens to me while karting, but it is worth the fun obviously. I hope we get to race together some day

Who took the first photo? Do you know the name of the professional photographers that were set up at the race?
My girlfriend took the picture. The photographer there is www.fandsenterprises.com. They haven't posted the pictures to their website yet, but I look forward to seeing them too.
