Peggy has been battling some respitory conditions. This causes her to have a hard time breathing on days like we have had lately. She is still taking pictures at the track, but is not doing the Photo Trailer this year. Hopefully the doctors can get her on the right medications so she does not have all these difficulties.

Earl Isaacs

On friday 4-23 Earl became ill at Kil-Kare Speedway and had to be taken to the Emergency Room for treatment. On sunday he became ill again and is now in Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton. The doctors are deciding on monday what type of treatment or surgery that they are going to have to do, so it seems as if Earl might have a little bit of a hospital stay. We will update as soon as we have more information.
 update 4-28-10
Earl has been released from the hospital and is at home resting. He's has more appointments with the doctors coming up in the next few days to see what has to be done next. He has gone through one procedure and will have at least two more operations before he is done.

Don Wilbur
1872 Brandon Hall Dr.
Miamisburg, Ohio 45342
 
Don, a long time area driver, after having a phisical a few weeks ago, was found to have a mass in his colon and had surgery today, in which a portion of the colon was removed along with the mass. Surgery went well, however after he was moved to his room he experienced breathing problems. Don was transferred to the ICU unit where he is now being stabilized. He is going to spend a few days in the hospital, followed by some down time at home. Hopefully after some test the doctors find it to not be cancerous and Don can get back to a regular life again.
updated 4-26-10
Don has been released from the hospital and is at home recuperating. Heard from Don on tuesday 4-26 and everything is going ok, but it is going to be some time yet before he is up to 100%.
