Turbo Chassis School's Dave Z. injured in minor shop incident!!!!
Tuesday Dave was working in the shop like a Tasmanian Devil (as usual) when a Bessel clamp let go. The clamp ended up striking his right hand and injuring it bad enough to where he went to the ER. He was released from surgery yesterday evening and is back at home with his wife Clair.
Dave's right hand had some bone fragments that had to to be removed but should recover pretty quickly.
I was speaking with him this am and he is in good spirits and is looking forward to getting back out in the shop asap.
From the Honda-tech community and racers everywhere get well soon Dave Z.
Dan and family
