Default Yani hurt in nasty wreck

I just learned that Yani was in a nasty wreck but will be OK. Broken leg and lacerated face but he is lucid. He is the Audi driver. For those that don't know, Yani is a frequent skidpad instructor that drives a white E30 M3 at many PCA events.

Send my best wishes to Yanni as well, glad to hear your report is better than the news one.

Crap - such a nice guy (like the other BMW skid-pad guys). Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Bob, please pass on my good wishes to Yani. He really stepped up last July for the first visit by the kids from Stafford Junction and they had a grand time on the skidpad.

Dangerous for those BMW guys to leave the track. Another of them -- can't believe I'm forgetting his name, really nice guy, just as Yani is -- was killed a couple years ago riding his bike. Here's wishing Yani a speedy recovery.
