Frank Da Hoff (WhiteTrash) on here.
I know some of you guys know him so you may want to know this. He was at work on Friday and though it would be good to remove his right hand from his arm.
He is now in surgery hope he will be OK.

Is Franck that comes to SCC with the Mitsubishi and Underdog? What a sad news. I don't want to know how he did this. It's frightening.  I cross my fingers and hope he can regain his hand  |

Just talked to the Hospital and he is still in surgery been there all day. Frank works as a Lifting Equipment and Industrial Door Engineer and trapped his hand in a door as it was lifting up.

Thanks for leting me know this morning it was really appreaciated, like the others I am also totally shocked.
Yes, Frank in his own time drove all the way to SCC with underdog, collected many cars from the strip over the weekend and then drove home with the Dog and Der Express again in his own time, he spent all weekend trying to get the Der Express running and eventually took her up the strip himself on the Sunday. What a top bloke.
Frank, we all wish you a speed recovery and home that the Doctors can work some magic... We all want Da Hoff behind a wheel and racing again, Good luck mate.
Martin in the short term if i can help in anyway let me know. Please keep me posted daily. thanks

To everyone who are offering to help he did say he is having trouble wiping his ass with his left hand. He said he keeps put his finger through the paper.  So feel free to pop down to Oxford and give him a hand. |

That's pretty shit news Frank! Pleased to hear you're in good spirit though and it sounds like you've got some good surgeons on the case. That said they probably only have imperial tools and whatever happens don't let them any where near you on a Friday.
