Hey all...sorry to have missed you guys this year. Some might remember me, I am Mickey Bogden's buddy/pit crew. He sure had a great time winning this year. I am sad to report that last Monday evening Mick had a stroke. He is in the hospital, with his right side affected. He has his own personal physical therapist...his daughter...and hopes to be back wrenching in a couple of months. He has never been very good on a computer, so he will now be even harder to get a hold of. Snail mail works:

Mickey Bogden

or, I will print out and take to him, anything sent to me.

I’ve started this thread as the info about Mickey is buried within another thread.

Here’s the link to the prior set of posts.

Hello all, quick update. Mick is now in a rehab hospital. He had a short stint of the "why did this happen to me" attitude, but is past that now and on to the really hard part...physical therapy. He shows improvement every time I visit. He can't handle a laptop yet, so don't expect any reply's, but I know he enjoys when they are read to him. He especially likes mail...something to hold.

For those who may not know, Mick had his first stroke Monday September 2nd, just after returning from (and winning on Sunday) the Y-Block shootout. It affected his speech and control of his right side. Started physio and was making progress, then the second stroke hit on the 10th. This one hit him much harder. Speech very garbled, right side worse, eyes closed most of the time. Yesterday morning he had a third...this one affecting his left side. Prognosis is not very good.

I had taken in copies of all the best wishes that were posted. I know he was smiling when I read them to him. Thanks guys, for that.

Here are some pics of Mickey and his car while at Columbus. Let's pray that the worst of Mick's problems are behind him and he is on the road to recovery.

Came across Mickey’s name on the Sunday list of Y-Block Shootout winners on the National Trails Dragway website.
