The strong crosswind and track temp after sitting idle for two hours due to racer, Thriller, found dead in his car while in the lanes for first round. Thankfully, CPR and three hits from the defibrillator brought him back with a pulse after ten minutes. Hats off to paramedics provided by Acadian Ambulance Service.

Amen to all that helped in an instant which saved his life. I have been wearing the "Thriller" comp champion shirt all day and plan on a bus ride to the Saints games soon. Get well buddy!! Stephen

Just went see the thriller tonight. He was his usual self, but he is still going to undergo open heart surgery soon. Keep the prayers going so he can have a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!

I hadn't heard of that. I'm glad he's OK.
