Well the race season may be done now. I was down at the track last night and was closing the gate after Tim pulled the trailer in the infield. Well it gets better. I pushed the fence and my right hand went along with the gate and proceeded to go inbetween the top of the fence and a wheel that guides the gate. I pulled the gate back as fast as I could but it was to late as my right hand was crushed and mangled already. My last 2 fingers on the right hand were totally fucked and bleeding all over the place. I feel to the ground in pain and proceed to scream in pain and then Russell came over and helped me up and Len left to get the medic's but it was taking to much time. Paul said screw them and gave us his keys to his car and we went to the hospital on our own. Once there they all went to work. The pictues said 2 fingers smashed so they called a hand specialist and off to the operating room I went. 3 hours later and 16 titanium screws, wires and titanium bridges I was in recovery. It still hurts like hell but I'm home and off from work for 8 weeks and I think the race season is over also. That really sucks.
Thanks to Russell for all your help with the kids and all. Also thanks to Rick Miller for sitting at the hospital all night with me. Also thanks to everyone else who helped with the kids and all also. Time to rest as my hand is hurting like hell right now. Later..

Sorry to hear about your mishap, hope you recover fast. No pictures, this blog sucks! By the way, I'll be happy to take your spot on the podium for you, that iis if I can ever get a race off without a bunch of "Randys" this year. Now would we consider your problem now a "Randy". No this is definitely a "Labecki". By the way I rode in your honor on Sunday at Alpine; only used one leg after I lost my left pedal.
Hope the hand heals fast. You belong on the start line not watching from the side lines.

Sorry to hear about that. Recover soon.
The Wolf family wishes you all the best. Recover quick.
Thanks to everyone for all your support.

wow, that really sucks. i hope you get well soon!
Ouch! That sounds really bad. Let me know if you need some company. We are getting our new carpet tomorrow and the smell of new carpet makes me sick. For the next few days I have to be out of the house as much as possible. Take care and let me know if you and the family need anything.

Damn brother, that sucks really bad. I'm sure it won't slow you down in the long run though!
Also, look on the bright side: with your middle digit intact, at least you can still flip Russell the bird, right??
Another severe hardship to endure. I know you are a tough guy and have a positive attitude, but this really sucks. Hopefully we can get you on a bike somehow this summer whether on a tandem or duck taping you arm to a tri bar.
Bummer Jay, that really sucks. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
You Gov'ment workers will do anything to got out of work....Sorry Dude!
Get well soon! I've got a nasty hang nail that I bet feels the same.
Thanks everyone.
Jay
OMG! Sorry to hear about that Jay, that really, really, really blows.
Was it your ass whiping hand?
Both hands deal out the ass wopings, but it was the hand I write citations with. Boy being left handed sucks..
