Hi all. I have just been talking to Robin Greenland in Pokeno, and he tells me that Forum member Quentin Toebes is in the intensive care department of Waikato Hospital fighting for his life.
He had been competing at the Taupo raceway in the weekend in his ex Brian Innes Cooper S, and at the end of the day had had a spa. Quentin has had a 'bung' leg since childhood, after he was knocked from his bike by a car, and it has always been liable to infection. Anyway it looks as though he has picked up some terrible lurgy from the spa which has ripped round his body at alarming speed. He was flown from Taupo to Waikato and apparently his heart stopped beating for some time, and had to have extended CPR. His prognosis last night at 9pm was not good.
Will keep people up to date as I hear more.
