All, please pass on the good news.
Very good news from Snetterton...
After Our Derek Rodgers crash due to a heart attack in the Formula Ford race at Snetterton at the weekend here's an update.
As at 1600 hours today (Tuesday 4th June) Derek Rodgers wife has let us know that Derek has been taken out of an induced coma and is now sitting up in bed telling his awful jokes as normal!
He has a small lumbar fracture but all seems to be working as it should be and he says he has even remembered who owes him a fiver!
He is still in intensive care but it is hoped he will be taken to a ward at Norwich Hospital in the next day or two. We will let all know details of his stay there if anyone is passing with grapes.
It has to be down to prompt care at the circuit and at Norwich Hospital to thank for this brilliant result and Dianne once again wishes to thank everyone for their action however small. Also for everyone's good wishes.

family thank all for their help and concern.

We wish him a speedy recovery (once he is out of intensive care). Louis & Anne Hanjoul. HFF
We'll keep our fingers crossed
everything else goes to plan.

Once again our thanks must go out to the marshals and medical teams whom we all hope we will never need but it is great to know that if things do go wrong we are all in the hands of the best. We hope for a speedy and full recovery and look forward to hearing some more of Derek's litany of dirty jokes in the near future. John & Barbs Hayes-Harlow. HFF2000

Derek is a very popular competitor and we hope he makes a full recovery soon. Our sincere thanks to the marshals on the spot, the rescue and medical teams, and all of the Snetterton team for their assistance. HSCC Office.
