Karl called yesterday sounding all giddy like a school girl, he ran a smoking 224.6 which is unbelievably FAST. He was gonna call today with updates then Zack calls and said Karl's down.
From what I'm gathering he's better than what I could even hope for, I still believe in miracles and our family is praying for him.
I'm hearing he went thru the traps at 231, he said yesterday he felt like there was more left in the bike since it was pulling so hard but man 7mph is huge at those numbers!!
Karl is a friend to everyone and it shows so please keep him in your thoughts.

Hot damn, hate to hear this. Glad to hear Karl sounds like he's in one piece at least. Here's hoping recovery goes well and nothing permanent is left over.

Karl has become a very good friend of Karen and I. We've had some great grudge matches. Karen and I are heart broken. I hope all is well and I look forward to hearing his side of the story.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Karl and his loved ones.

Just found this on SH.ORG posted by glarior: (hope they don't mind the repost here)
Karl got into a motorcycle accident yesterday, March 24, 2012, at the Texas Mile race in Beeville, TX. Witnesses say that he was traveling at a high rate of speed in excess of 120 mph when the bike slid from under him and threw him in the air. He was life-flighted to a Level 2 Trauma Hospital in Corpus Christi, TX. Dad is in Trauma Intensive Care Unite (ICU). Here are a list of his major injuries from what we know AS OF: 2/24 11:00 am CST- broken clavicle (L)- broken scapula (shoulder blade- L) - 5 broken ribs (I think they are all on his L side)- L hand is shattered/ broken, will require reconstructive surgery, probably tomorrow- Mon- Possible small contusion on heart, cardiologist is there today to do more testing- "Road Rash" on the legs, elbows, upper torso- Both lungs are contused; they have intubated him.Positives:- He is not paralyzed. He was able to move his legs and toes on command and had a reasonable amount of force with his right hand (we were holding hands) - He is not a vegetable. They woke him from sedation for a little bit so he could see Mom and I and know that we are there. Although highly sedated, I could see he was still behind those blue eyes. We could ask him questions and he would shake his head yes or no. He could also point with his right hand to where there was pain. He was able to distinguish family from friends when we asked if he wanted his friends Bill and Jake to see him, he shook his head no. Mom also mentioned to him last night that they were trying to transfer him to Houston ASAP and my dad shook his head no. - HE IS ALIVESUNDAY UPDATES:- We will NOT be transferring him to Houston. It is too risky and he still is in critical condition. - Hand surgery was scheduled for this morning but the trauma doctor, Dr. Blow, postponed it to tomorrow. He wants to run some more tests--1) Brain CT 2) MRI of lower back
Prayers continue from VA

Thank you for the update, Debbie...we all appreciate it.. I wonder if this is in addition to the broken elbow, knee, and collar bone reported yesterday?

I don't know what to say,
I do know faith without work is useless.
So, have faith and work hard, my friend, to recover.
