i respect her and her family for being so open about the operation and her injury. hopefully she carries on posting reasonably frequently about her journey back to race fitness - like midgetman says, she has quite a high profile at the moment and perhaps she'll be able to carry that forward and get some more money behind her.

Despite the baggers, the HALO (not my choice either) seems to have been a good compromise, certainly way better than leading with your head in an accident, and at least its implementation is progressing, pity it wasn't on Florsch's car already as it would I agree probably significantly reduced to injuries she suffered.
Significant other injuries in the spectators too.
Update of Sophia's condition: 11 hour operation!
