BILL FARRELL FIGHTING HIS BIGGEST FIGHT
As many of you may or may not already know, Bill Farrell
has been home since early February with back pain while under
going several test to find the cause of the pain it was
discovered that Bill has prostate cancer. Fortunately enough
for Bill it was detected early and seems to be confined to a
small area.
Bill will under go surgery on April
26th, they will remove his prostate of course this will mean a
long recovery period for Bill and a season out of competition.
Bill unable to drive his #16 figure 8 car did not want to be
the cause of a drop in car count, so being the dedicated
figure 8 driver he is, Bill found a replacement Tom the
"Alter Boy" Ferrara will steer Bill's # 16 for the
season.
Bill has a very positive outlook and
will return to the track as soon as possible to cheer on his #
16 and 2 sons Will #29 and Tim # 7 while they compete in the
figure 8 division. Bill encourages all you men to get checked
regularly. PLEASE don't wait until it is to late. He was lucky
enough to catch it while in the early stages ware it is 99% curable.
IT MUST BE FOUND EARLY!!! Bill would like to wish
everyone good luck this racing season and will see you soon.
