From Jayski:
Go Cart Accident at Charity Event: A charity go-cart race among Valley mayors at Phoenix International Raceway went awry Wednesday when Litchfield Park Mayor Woody Thomas' go-cart overturned, leaving him with a gash in his head and knocking him unconscious. Thomas, 48, was flown to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, but firefighters on the scene said he was talking and responding normally. He was in fair condition Wednesday afternoon and spent the night at the hospital. The accident created a chilling scene at the raceway, where seven mayors raced roll-bar-equipped go-carts against four-time Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon for charity. As the race ended, Thomas' go-cart was bumped by another and flipped over. Thomas' go-cart landed on its side, with an unconscious mayor still strapped in, bleeding from his head. Thomas regained consciousness after about 30 seconds and was talking to paramedics and the other mayors while being treated. "I feel fine," Thomas said. PIR President Bryan Sperber would not comment on whether the track considered offering helmets. All of the mayoral participants signed liability waivers. Before the race, Thomas took a few practice laps in the go-cart and jokingly asked a nearby track worker, "What's the roll factor on these?" Fountain Hills Mayor Jon Beydler won the mayors' race, well behind Gordon, but the accident delayed the awarding of the $1,000 prize, which will go to charity.(Arizona Republic)(10-31-2002)
