Tim Staab Update

Kit Palmer | December 10, 2001

What follows is a letter from Johnny Campbell, who was Staab’s teammate at the Las Vegas 200 off-road race when Staab was injured.

To All The Friend and Fans of Tim Staab:

For those of you that don’t know, Tim suffered a severe blow to the head during a crash while competing in the Las Vegas 200. At this time, Tim is listed in critical condition at the UMC Trauma Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Staab family would like to extend their sincere thanks to all the friends and fans of Tim’s who have sent cards, e-mailed, telephoned and visited the UMC trauma Center in Las Vegas. This is proving to be a very difficult time for the family and we wanted you all to know that we greatly appreciate each and everyone of you for thinking of Tim. Many messages and your prayers are reaching us. We are all praying together for Tim’s ultimate recovery.

On behalf of the Staab Family

Johnny & Tj
