Rider Status - Allen Dye

Allen Dye (#270) will be headed into surgery today to repair a broken back he sustained after a nasty high side coming out of the bus stop in Race 7 at MSRH this past Sunday. He’s at UTMB in Galveston and has been there since transport on Sunday. He’s been moved out of ICU to room 9C. He’s in good spirits, laughing and joking as always, they have the pain management under control and have had him in a brace since yesterday. He’s been hanging out with the misfits since March when he completed his prov nov requirements. He ran a good pace Saturday in the Team 60 despite never having been to MSRH before. The doctors are optimistic on recovery and Allen “would be at Texas World if they’d let me”. It’s hard to keep a racer down. If you live in that area feel free to stop by and see him.

Great to hear. Never met him but heal quick Mr. Dye!

Glad to hear he is in good spirits.

Keep up the good spirits Allen! Heal up quick!

Allen, take care. Give yourself time to heal, then! I'll see you on the grid.

Very nice guy. I hated to see him transported but I'm thankful he's on the mend. Heal up quickly Allen.

Thanks for the update Kasey! Heal up fast Allen

Great news. I'll come down to see him later this week.

Get well soon Allen! Glad to hear you're in good spirits and may you continue on your path of a quick recovery.

Get well soon

Kasey, Do you know how long Allen is going to be in Galveston and if he needs anything ? Allen, hang in there and I'm looking forward to seeing you back at the track. Good thoughts sent your way...

Thanks Kasey! I saw some of the updates on FB. Glad he is in good spirits.

Allen, get better! We are all thinking of you and wish you a complete and speedy recovery!

Still praying for a fast recovery.

He's in surgery now, I'll be back ~6pm with another update. I want to give his family some time with him before all the questions start flying.

What he said

Just heard Allen is out of surgery. It was long but went well. He is a very lucky man. He has 2 rods & 4 screws. Should be full recovery with lots of rest and therapy.

Good News!

Good news. Heal up quickly.

Thank goodness. Thank you for the updates Dennis.

Great news on the post surgery update. I'm sure there were no sweeter words to hear than a "full recovery" prognosis.

Great news!

Great to hear. Get well soon man.

Awsome sauce!
Thanks for the update.
Hopefully everyone gets better soon too.

I got a text from Allen this morning that reads "Made it through....hurt like hell. Gonna sleep now. Full recovery expected" Great news.

They'll never let him out of there after I visit him tomorrow. They may lock me in as well.

Great to get good news on Allen - thanks!

Thanks for the good news updates.

Great news for sure!! Heal up Allen.

Good news Allen!

I know he's posted on FB, but for those that don't get that feed, Allen is going home today. He's up and mobile, just dealing with the pain of course. He's expected to make a full, if slow, recovery. Thanks to all that visited him, the positive attitude and prayers of the CMRA family are amazing. We're still praying for Derrick, Pops and Paul to make full recoveries as well.

Thanks for staying with him and keeping us updated Kasey. Glad to hear he's going to be making a full recovery.
