Widdy with the red s2000 turboed with gold wheels, is in .medical center of central ga. He flipped his car a few times coming back from Reynolds today,. I hope you pull thru man!!!

He is part of Premium Garage or something like that

UPDATE

I spoke to his GF and she gave me a paypal email adress we can donate money to...

This is Widdy's actual account. ([email protected]). She said thanks again for all the support...
Widdy is doing good!!!

UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!!!

Widdy is out of surgery, he is responsive.. he going to need a few more though... please keep praying for him, his family, and friends. if u've met him, pray for him. but for now, only immediate family are seeing him at the hospital. visitors are limited. the other passenger (Chris), one of our co-workers, he mainly needs some sticthes & staples. but he going to pull thru. pray for him as well.. if any thing else arrises, ill update!

Damn that sucks. Hope it wasn't his fault. It is pretty hard to flip an S2K. Best wishes to him.

I don't know about that. I've personally known a couple people flip S2Ks. I lost a very good friend from one of those accidents. My thoughts and prayers are with Woody if this is TRUE!! I was just talking to him at the track and we exchanged number. The next minute is not granted.

He had a passenger, which I hear is fine .Widdy got thrown from the car from what I was told. They said Widdy is going to pull through. (**edit: please leave out details for now out of respect**))
Keep him and his family in your prayers. Widdy is a great dude

Shit I thought it was a rx7 when we passed it, hope dude pulls through and is able to make a full recovery (hopefully they're able to reattach it).

Did he get ejected, b/c it looked like they were all in the woods

Yea i was right behind them also, it looked really bad. I didnt stop since their where so many people that pulled over already. I was just talking too him right before, even shook his hand as we said are good byes,really sux he is a really nice guy... I might wait a few days and go visit him..

TIGERJC
05-02-2010, 07:18 PM
Sad to hear then. He is lucky to have some awesome friends, every time he pulled up to the stage lights he had his own cheering section and those were the same people on the side of the road with a concern look on their face praying that their friend will make it.

not to stir up anything, what kind of talk? that was not negative at all. It just saddens me to hear when people get ejected from cars b/c of no seatblets. My sisters life was saved from a seatbelt and ive had friends who have rolled over in cars with and w/o seatbelts.

but like i said before prayers are going out to him and his passenger

05-02-2010, 07:59 PM
I passed by shortly after it happened. I was really worried about everyone since i saw that he was ejected from the car. I stopped on my bike, but they wouldn't let me do anything. I really hope everything is ok. I hate seeing things like that happen. I may not know him at all, but it really got to me.

05-02-2010, 08:04 PM
We heard that there was a bad wreck on 128 but had not heard any details, so we went the other way. My prayers go out to him and his family.

05-02-2010, 08:07 PM
We were the first ones on the scene... Widdy is in bad shape but stable (critical condition) we were told by the doctor who was treating him.. As Far as the passenger he has bumps and scrapes but is relatively ok for the type of accident.. Please pray for him and his family.. We were told that he would have to remain in the hospital for a few weeks... I'll post up more info asap...

I met him today too, this is really a shame that this happened. He is in my thoughts and prayers. People should do the same.


Now is not the time to start something in the thread, please be respectful to him and his family. Anyone that doesnt follow this gets a ban.

What exactly happened to cause the accident? It's better to learn from others than to make certain mistakes or accidents yourself. Man since I heard this my mind has been running crazy b/c I spoke w/ him right before he got in his car and left. I really really can't believe this happened today. This was the largest IFO crowd I've seen in years and to end on a bad note is just so sad and paradoxical. I had an amazing day out even though there wasn't a lot of fast cars then to hear this. This really sux!!

Nemesis
05-02-2010, 09:09 PM
I think its best if everyone keeps details and personal business out of this thread for a while, out of respect for him and his family.

I've met Widdy a couple times. Seemed like a cool cat. I was thinking if it was allowed, his user name is JDM_EM1, and us as members should show some support on his personal messages wall thingy.

Get better homie! Prayers are coming in from all over for you and your family.

On behalf of the entire Import Showdown volunteer staff and the folks at GA DSM I definitely want to express you are in our thoughts and prayers. We heard about the accident shortly after leaving the track, many of our members forced to detour. Truly a tough thing to hear, watching Widdy run the event all day just before. We are pulling for a full recovery as quick as possible. When the time is right, we definitely stand prepared to offer whatever assistance they need or we can do, as an event and organization, to help.

It's nice to see people being cool about the whole situation. I really am praying for you and I hope everything works out for the best. I don't make bullshit offers and I live in Iowa now, but if you need anything man, please let me know. Widdy is an awesome guy and it sucks that this happens to someone good. Life is short.

I just spoke to his sister and asked her for permission to disclose his condition. She told me that widdy is on life support just as a precaution measure but he is coherent and is aware of were he is at. He is expected to be taken off life support in a couple of days. Like Steven said visitation is limited though.. His sister also told me to thank everyone for the support and prayers...

Man, its really hard to comment on this after spending the whole day at the track with him...Widdy is the type of guy you can meet one time and he will make an impact on you for years to come. He is an AMAZING guy, and im so glad to hear he should make a full recovery. The world would be a much sadder place without you man. I will most definately be down to see you later this week! Get well soon buddy!

A car is always replaceable, while a person can not be replaced.

We are all thankful that you (Widdy) and your passenger are still alive and we wish the best for both of you.

I just spoke to his sister and asked her for permission to disclose his condition. She told me that widdy is on life support just as a precaution measure but he is coherent and is aware of were he is at. He is expected to be taken off life support in a couple of days. Like Steven said visitation is limited though.. His sister also told me to thank everyone for the support and prayers...

thanks for the update Joe.. Hopefully i can go back down there and see the homie later on this week...

Humans are capable of truly astounding recovery and overcomming obsticals that most would think impossible. So may athletes and others have overcome injuries of this magnitude and went on to still compete and lead perfectly happy lives. There will be much adjusting and struggle for him and his family, but lets keep him in our prayers and support them like they were our own. God willing, they will pull through this whatever the obstical and rise above it.

We Love You Widdy......

Chris was released last nite. he came to my job today, i was almost in tears as the courage this man has for being able to go on... these two men have the strongest hearts and souls ive ever met. if you met them you's understand.

05-04-2010, 08:41 PM
Ive never met either of them but I wish both of them the best and speedy recovery. You people asking what happened should really chill out and wait till both of them are ok with telling the story themselves. Im sure they were not doing anything any worse than we all have done or even still do, something just happened to go wrong that day. Even after the physical injuries heal, things will still be there mentally and thats when they will probably need the most help. They are very lucky to have friends and family like they do. I have had friends and family have similar things happen and people being there for them is the best thing they could ever have.

I saw him up at mainstream last week. He was in good spirits and cracking jokes lol

James was putting an engine in a car, and widdy leaned over and helped him.

James said "Thanks for the hand widdy"

Widdy "I only got one left james"

I about fell on the ground laughing, he was laughing and making light of a terrible situation. I would think in a position like the one he is in, keeping your wits and sense of humor and staying positive is just as important as the physical therapy he will have to go through. I was surprised how up an about he was after what barely a month since the accident?
