Helio, it was great to see you in Joliet.

There is no doubt that you would have won the race
if that suspension had not broken. I was just glad
that you came out of the crash okay.

I’m happy that you are back on your feet, having fun,
and dancing again.

Have fun at the bed race!

Looks like you had a good time last night with Gil de Ferran last night Helio.

What’s with you and Gil wearing matching shirts?

Good luck in Japan. You’ve had highs and lows this season – but the smile on your face is always an inspiration!

Wow Helio I hope you are feeling better. You were doing so well and I think you could have
pulled it off but not to be again.
Maybe the next two will be good for you. I’m just happy you are out here and able to compete
at all. Even if you came in last is better than what could have been.
We all love you and look forward to watching you for many years to come.
Good luck in Japan.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of you as Grand Marshal of the Bed Race. Tom had me listen to the interview on my way home from work today. Hope your foot is feeling better. We are thinking of coming to Homestead for the Champion Race. I really hate flying so I’m trying to get my nerve up. I just don’t want to have a panic attack and freak people out. We’ll see. Maybe I can be heavily medicated now that I don’t have to worry about losing kids at the airport.
BIG HUG from Rhonda

I think you’re going to have a lot of fun at the bed race on Sunday.

And take Mike King’s advice – where some silky PJs. You’ll look cute in them.

Hi Helio, How’s the foot? Just so happy you are ok. Too bad the result at Chicagoland wasnt a whole lot better for you. Not to worry , you still have 2 races to go and you can still get another win! Whatever else happens, it has been quite a season , a great return to racing, winning the 500 and Texas. You always give us some great memories. Thanks Helio!!!

Hi Helio. Caught the last part of the race yesterday. What a bummer. But more important that you are ok. Hope your foot is better soon.
