[QUOTE="SteveWK, post: 14969321, member: 139323"] I just got back from the doctor's and I am out of the danger zone for a pulmonary embolism, knock on wood. I did bring up racing with him and it is not recommended which falls into the common sense category as far as I'm concerned. Maybe there is some way I can come off the med for a few days to attend one or two events a year. I'll have to discuss that with him at a later date. Hmmm, I wonder what the risk is to other drivers by being on a blood thinner. Lots of people take them and function normally. Maybe the NASCAR race environment is hard enough on the body that internal bleeding could spontaneously become a problem. I have a pilot's license too, but haven't used it since the '80s. I got mine while I was still in college. It was a great way to get dates. I could rent a 152 wet for $15/hr back then through the university flying club. A friend of the family is an FAA Medical Examiner. I'll ask him what the reasoning is behind the restriction. I suspect there have been instances of people hemorrhaging for no reason, e.g. a severe nose bleed, or maybe altitude changes affect the risk somehow. [/QUOTE]
