The break was severe enough to sever the main artery and nerve to the 16-year-old"s left foot and after 20 hours in surgery, the doctors determined the leg required amputation in order to save the young racer’s life. On Saturday, May 5, doctors successfully removed a section of Smrz’ left leg, up to his knee. He will require several more surgeries this week, but is reported to be stable and in good spirits.

Wow, that really must a detriment to his career. Well it was his left leg, so at least he can still drive an automatic and/or a tiptronic car if he chooses to race still

That really sucks that this happened to him. It's even worse that it happened on a trampoline.

How's he gonna tell his boys that it happened on a trampoline? You gotta be like, "So I was drifting around the last corner and this dude clipped me and I went into the wall at 80mph."
