I had a front row seat for the crash in the braking zone for 14 that brought out the red flag.

Looked pretty harsh, both riders ok?

That was me and Aaron, I posted up some about it here http://www.ccsforum.com/index.php/topic,20878.0.html

Would you mind sharing what happened from your perspective? It happened so fast, all I really remember is seeing Aaron's tail section start to rise up and thinking "oh shit." Next thing I know I was in the air for about 2 or 3 seconds doing flips and thinking "man this is not going to end well."

I got lucky and ended up with very minor injuries, 2 sprained and bruised up ankles, bruises all over my right leg and hip is in so much pain that I can barely walk, but the med staff said that nothing was broken.

I was the pokey expert #18, that you guys passed in or around T12.  As I was coming out of 13, I think I saw your bike impact Aarons and endo, flipping you up into the air.  Maybe your brake lever slammed into Aaron's bike?

As soon as I saw the crash and how much air you caught, I was pretty sure the red flag was on the way out.  I'm glad your injuries weren't too severe.  I hope you both make as quick a recovery as possible.

It was probably one of the most amazing things I've seen at the track!  I took my eye off the camera as you guys came up the hill.   I remember you had what seemed like a huge run on Aaron, and thought you were gonna fly right past him.  Then I heard someones engine rev high...And you hit his rear tire directly(I believe), thats when I started shooting.  The first pics aren't tack sharp wtf, but show how amazing it was you walked away!  There are a bunch of other pics, but just gonna post a few here.

It may be a small consolation prize, but I know Aaron appreciates good photog work.  Thanks for sharing.
