Phil Martelli: "That was a bad one...."

120+ across the back straight heading into 3....TR walked away, spent a few hours in the hospital for observation but he's okay....

We've had some nasty ones the past few weeks around here. GHR, Yakima, Skagit, Chico...a couple guys cheated death this year...
