Bart Graham
Gainesville Divisional: Bart Graham suffered an apparent heart attack in his pit area after first round of super street (he won) Saturday evening.
Ed and I were pitted next to Bart, but were not there when he was stricken. Here's some info from an eye witness.
" The Alachua County F.D. and Safety Safari were right there. I am a 33 year veteran Firefighter/Paramedic and I can say the job done by all medical workers I witnessed was fantastic and professional. The racer had no pulse and was not breathing, when they loaded him into the Rescue Unit he had a pulse. Enroute to Shands Hospital after cardioversion (shock) in the unit he became wake and alert! The statistics on this happening is normally very low, about 2%. Truly a miracle! -Jim Wahl"
Please post any updates on Bart's condition. He is a long time friend and fellow racer. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bart and all of his family and friends during this stressful time.
