No, this is Colin O'Connell from NC, I'm guessing you are referring to Colin Jevens, the yellow #81 mustang

Update from the Sunday incident @ Summit.
Thanks for all the support, he doing well. The surgery accomplished everything it was supposed to. Dad said his back is no longer bothering him but the area they went in through to perform the surgery is a bit painful. They moved him out of icu and into a regular room. He saw a physical therapist and was on his feet for a short time with some suppot.
Latest update from Colin

First, let me thank everybody for helping Sean and Debbie get collected and Anders for letting us park the trailer at his place. Your help means a lot to all of us.

Everything in the car felt like it worked at impact but I did feel the substraps catch me. When the car came to rest, I was trying to assess what happened and my condition. A great deal of lower back pain and no feeling or movement below the waist. I suspect something was wrong with the sub setup that allowed a little too much movement. I'll have to look at it when I'm up and about. I'm still surprised one vertebra was the only damage. I hit pretty hard.

As for how it happened, I can review everything in my head, but I have no idea why I went off. The first time I've forgotten the camera in a while, so no video. I was following John down the straight, checked brakes early, and started braking around #4. Nothing new. The move I recall is sliding off while in the turn adjusting steering so I wouldn't flip in the gravel pit.

The IV's were all taken out today, the physical therapy has started and the prognosis is good. Turns out that I demolished my T12 vertebra. I'm still at the Winchester Medical Center, but hope to head home on Monday.

Awesome! Thanks for the update.

It was awesome, amazing track. So so fast.

Going into the esses at 120 with the car dancing around is super fun once you work up the balls to maintain your speed.

Oh I also having a wing. It saved my ass a couple of times for sure.
