Garrett Jenkins (the gentleman on the left) is recovering from surgery in a Birmingham, Alabama hospital after a terrible motorcycle accident just before Christmas, Great Race partner Craig Rubright has reported. Jenkins has been a navigator for three straight races in Rubrights 1937 Ford, and they have been improving every year. In the 2016 Great Race from California to Illinois, they finished 16th overall and fourth in the Sportsman Division. The surgery was to put screws in Garretts leg, and although the last three weeks have been tough on him, anyone who knows Garrett knows this will not keep him down or from participating in the 2017 Great Race when it starts in Jacksonville on June 24.
Get well soon
Sending prayers your way!
Although it’s good to toughen up your Navigator before a GR we need him fit for the race – so… Garrett get well soon!.
Godspeed for a fast and full recovery my friend.
Garrett

Hoping for a speedy recovery and a return to what you like best. Love those 37 Ford front grilles. I have a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe-sedan. Good luck.
