Bogden (or Bobby) Muszynski #18 - Division One
Photo: Bogdan on left, Sobec on right.Bobby's last accident was at an exibition event near Chicago. Andy Dilomat got his arm trapped inside Bobby's right pushbar bracket, and Bobby was launched up the banked track and tire wall, landing on his head at the bottom of the hill. This cracked a bone in his neck that has developed into loss of feeling in his left arm. The injury was further added to by the parametic falling down the hill while trying to get to Bobby, fumbled the oxygen tank he was carrying, and Bobby was hit in the chest by the falling tank! Bobby can still put in some fast laps as he demoed at the Paris Speedway Press Day on Joanne Edwards' Godden, on Sunday May 2nd, 1999. Both will be racing again this season.
Bobby practiced for half a season in Poland before comming to Canada about 1990. Bogdan is also known as Bobby, (and in past years Sebastian, Julian and Sobieslaw). He suffered a broken collarbone in the mid '95 season when Gary Hesmer lost control of his bike leaving turn two, driving Bogdan (on the outside) into the fence. He missed a few races after that, but finished well in Ohio in 1995.
