Thanks, Chris. I should be back sometime in December.

 

Where'd ya go?

 

Hey Stu,

Chris is in Korea getting diagnosed for his medical issues he has been having.

He should be able to figure out what is wrong and get it fixed a whole lot cheaper than than in the USA.

Lets all hope and pray he gets better and comes back home in 100% condition.

FYI....if you want to get a hold of him....you can message him on FB.

He has access to to some wifi and can check his FB status.

** Get well soon Chris P. **

 

Ah ok, maybe he posted that here and I probably missed it while I was gone. Hopefully it works out well.

 

I didn't post about it here but yeah, I am currently in Korea. I had bled out to extreme anemic levels right before I was hospitalized a couple of months ago which was probably why the docs couldn't identify the source of my bleeding. Since I was given 4 bags of blood during my hospitalization I had fresh blood to lose since then allowing the docs here to more easily locate the source, lol. Anyway, they found the cause for the internal bleeding (lower gastrointestinal hemorrhages) and surgery went ok so I'm just recovering now. I'll be back in December, I think, so don't miss me too much.

 

glad to hear they got you fixed, what kind of stop leak did they use?

 

this is pretty neat

Such good news for you Chris P.

I'm glad your gonna be better soon.....can't wait for you to get back to the states so you can start racing again.

 

Great news Chris. Get well and looking forward to having you back on the track.

 

Lol @ Travis's comment.

Thanks guys. I'm glad it wasn't anything too serious. I can't wait to hang out with you guys at the races again.

 

So yesterday at the TT's in Mineral Wells...just as I was starting the parade laps, I heard my car making a funky sound. So I pulled off and as I parked I could tell there was an exhaust leak of some sort....well after jacking the car up and feeling by the passenger HFC...you can feel the exhaust coming out thru the heat shield. Sucks....I didn't know if my cat was blown or what at the time....so I just continued to race thru the day with it broken. After a few runs, you could tell the whole cat was now cracked off from the upper mount.

It really sounded like crap all day long...and the drive was horrible home with that loud *** droning sound in my ears. I still think my ears are ringing.

Anyways, took the cat off this am and here is what it looks like. I think the cat is still good and can just be welded back together.

*I cut the heat shield so I could see where the weld would have to go.

 

Glad to hear, Chris! Wish you a speedy recovery my friend.

 

dang chris, ditch em and get art pipes

 

Travis,
I would love to if I were still working steady....but I haven't worked in over a month....and doubt I'll get any freelance until after the new year.

But anyways, I think they are fixable.....if not then I got a back up from Jake ! He just happened to have a passenger side HFC....Woot !

Thank you again Jake !

 

Glad to hear they got you all fixed up ChrisP! Dang ChrisFilthy that's a pretty good snap/crack. Did you hit something or did it just break on you? Jake is like the savior of DFW lol

 

So i found out today that my dad has been having the same symptoms as crispy for the last few months and didnt want me or my sisters to know because he didnt want to pay to go to the doctor. Apparently this has been going on since june and has now gotten so bad that when he even passes gas he will have blood in his pants so my sister and i finally got him to agree to go to the doctor in the morning. Also found out today that he has skin cancer and will be going in to test of it's malignent or not next week. Crispy, any information you can give me on what you went through or what to look out for i would be unexplainably grateful for. I'm honestly scared shitless for him right now amd for my mother since shes already been widowed once from my biological father.

 

if he has a lower GI bleed his stool will look black and tarry. if it is bright red then he is not bleeding out in his lower gastrointestinal area, it is somewhere further down

 

damn i hope for the best for all of you. The older I get, the more i worry about my parents (luckily I still have them)

that is some graphic **** to walk into.


i hope you guys are all doing well. if i ever find a job in dallas, I should be back for 3-4 years before wanting to get the f out again

 

Whasssuuupp everybody.... replaced my driver door handle yesterday after it broke in standard fashion and had to post in the thread that helped me make it happen. Thought I'd say hi to DFW peeps while I'm here...

 

by chance, any of you track guys have a coin/ash tray laying around you wanna part with?

preferably black one.
