Forwarded Message: Subj: MALLICOAT BROTHERS ACCIDENT Date: 6/5/2007 7:38:52 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time From: TANKOWCI To: Gruzenracing
HI JOEL MY GOOD FRIENDS GARY AND JERRY MALLICOAT WERE ON THEIR WAY HOME SUN. FROM THE RACES AT BOISE (WHERE THEIR AA GAS CAR SET AN ALL TIME BEST RECORD). I TALKED TO THEM ON THE CELL PHONE AS THEY WERE LEAVING THAT AREA AND A WHILE LATER THEY LOST CONTROL OF THEIR TRUCK AND TRAILER (POSSIBLY A BLOWN TRAILER TIRE), AND WENT OVER THE BANK AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ANOTHER ROAD BELOW. BOTH WERE UNFORTUNATELY RATHER SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH FRACTURED SPINES, ETC. THEY ARE NOW IN A BOISE HOSPITAL. THE TRUCK AND TRAILER WERE BASICALLY TOTALED AND THE RACE CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED. SPECIAL DOCTORS ARE WORKING ON CUSTOM MADE BACK SUPPORT BRACES SO THAT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN LEAVE THE BOISE AREA AND FLY HOME BY THIS WEEKEND. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO POST THIS SAD REPORT ON RACING WEBSITES BUT THOUGHT YOU MIGHT AS THE MALLICOATS HAVE MANY FRIENDS IN RACING WHO MAY WISH TO SEND THEIR PERSONAL GET WELL SUPPORT TO THEM THANKS. CHUCK TANKO
