GET WELL ADAM - David Powers Motorsports is accepting donations for fallen crew member Adam Hiller. Hiller was seriously injured in a pit accident Thursday during tech inspections.
Donations for the Adam Hiller Recovery Fund are being accepted at the David Powers Motorsports hospitality area between the Matco Tools and MacAllister CAT teams. The Harley-Davidson display in the Manufacturer’s Midway also is collecting donations to help offset the rising medical costs.
Hiller, 29, from Lincoln, Neb., is in his first season as a crew member on the NHRA team. He joined the Matco Tools team last winter. The former Wyotech student services superchargers on Whit Bazemore’s Matco Tools dragster and currently resides in Brownsburg, Ind. Hiller is scheduled to be released from Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on Saturday.
“It’s going to take more than facial reconstruction surgery to keep me away from drag racing,” Hiller joked from Methodist Hospital.
Matco Tools kicked off the recovery efforts with a $1,000 donation and NHRA fans at the U.S. Nationals have flocked to both locations to aid in the recover effort. For every dollar raised, Powers has committed to match that amount.
“Adam (Hiller) is a terrific kid and we’ll do everything we can to help in his recovery process,” Powers said. “He is a very important part of our race team and we want to ensure he makes a full recovery and he’ll be welcomed back to the team with open arms. The outpouring of donations and support from the NHRA community and fans has been overwhelming and we thank everyone for their support.”

Let me know where I can make a donation..
PJ, did you go to Indy?
yup I was there
I saw something similar happen one year commercial fishing in Alaska. Saw an inch and a half rope snap when one boat was pulling another boat off a sandbar at low tide and the rope came back and hit my friend John in the face. He suffered a concussion, broken nose, severe nausea and a broken eye socket. Tough guy because once he got back on the fishing grounds from being airlifted to Anchorage, he had to recoup on a 36` fishing boat in the Bering Sea. Glad Bazemores guy is alright!

I read somewhere, I don't remember where, that he'd just had facial recontruction surgery to repair his eye sockets and something else. That he still had another surgery ahead of him to restore eyesight and tear drops.
I think it might have been at DRO but I've got to get going now so I don't have time to look.
