Talked with Jack Ingram awhile ago… seems Robert Hamke was injured in a highway accident earlier today. Robert was driving a VW Beetle (of all things) near his shop in NC and was t-boned by another car… Robert has a broken vertebrae in his back, and although he’ll be OK, it’s a very serious injury especially if your profession is building race cars…
Of the 37 cars starting the Snowball Derby Sunday, nearly half (17) were Hamke chassis… Here’s hopes for a speedy recovery…
Dave Rob is ok and at work just talked to him Tom. Accident was at Thanks giving weekend and Robert went to Concord the next sunday.
The vw was not as lucky.
Thanks Tom… Jack acted like it just happened…
