Eric Injured
T-Shirts Available September 7th


Eric Saunders is recovering in an Indianapolis hospital after crashing at his home track while practicing for this weekend's Steel City pro national. Eric's spine was initially thought to be severed, but his father, Irish, has confirmed that Eric's spine was only stretched. Eric was initially taken to Memorial Hospital in South Bend and was airlifted shortly after to Indianapolis so he could receive the best possible care. He underwent surgery Sunday night where doctors placed rods in his spine.

Currently Eric has no feeling from his belly button down. Friends of Eric will be selling t-shirts, stickers, and wrist bands this weekend at RedBud’s open ride on September 6th. There will also be a Suzuki RM125 for sale with all proceeds going to help the Saunders family. Anybody who is not able to buy a shirt at an event can do so through multiple websites:

Irish, Eric, and the whole Saunders family would like to thank everyone for all of their support. The racing industry is a huge industry. However, it is great to see that the racing community is very close, supportive, and giving.

Eric is alert and in good spirits. He has no doubt in his mind that he can beat this and that this will only be a set back. Eric is determined to prove that he is not a quitter and that this injury will not change him.

This website will be your source for updates on Eric Saunders. We will be giving daily inserts to let people know of Eric's progress. We will also be setting up a guest book so that Eric can read all of your comments.
