Didn't know what forum to post this on-however I'll try here.Has anyone heard the rumor about Wink Eller getting in an " accident" with an Elk on his way to speedweek.

At this point -it's only a rumor -any information would be appreciated.Thanks Spike.

All I've heard was from Jan Calloway - and it corroborates your story.  She told me of some pretty serious injury to Wink.  I'll not go into the details of what I heard - that's not my thing to do, but yes, it sounded very bad.

Get well soon, Wink.  We're all pulling for you. :-o
