I returned today for my three week follow up. He says all is good. With the PT I should be excellent. I can get in shape and get back to my life including the racing.
My Mrs. is not happy about this. She thinks my Forumla Fit autocrosser caused my back problems. She wants me to get another Miata. Unfortunately racing a Miata after a FF is like driving around your granny's mini van. The truth is though that a Miata is still a fine race car, its just very big compared to a FF. I might go test drive a Lotus Elise again....it has the engine properly located....behind the driver.
