THE CRASH!
James Bonner and Jocelin (in black) shown in a crash at turn one Daytona. Jocelin had a piston failure causing a motor seizure. Immediately following, Jocelin was hit by Bonner (who fortunately made it out okay). These awesome photos are by corner worker Lisa Theobald, and are read from left to right.

OUCH! |
THE RESCUE!
|
|
|
|
Jocelin's team (who could not attend Daytona) head out in BYRT to rescue Jocelin and bring her home. Bill (L), Dale (R), and Mary (photo). |
They strapped Jocelin in her very own ambulance. "Ohh brother, I have seen enough of these this week", comments Jocelin on the ambulance. |

Here, with the assistance of some special friends and a customer...Jocelin letters a boat. |
THE LATEST!
Jocelin is out of the wheelchair and all the braces. Only a few days after the Neurologist told her she most likely will never move her left arm again; Jocelin is moving it well. Three days after the Orthopedic surgeon said she will not be walking for 2-3 months; Jocelin is walking well. Her positive thinking and supportive friends have helped her "miracle" recovery. When asked if she will race again, Jocelin replied, " When, where, and how soon can we get the bike ready?!"
