davegsxroldassstupidman has the video

I assume you're the one who tank slapped between 3 and 4 and got pitched off?

I saw it, but he's been having problems downloading the video to a machine.

thanks guys. I am ok pretty much. A footpeg or something tried to go in to my side but other than that not too bad.

Haven't had a big one in years so at least I entertained the crowd at the pagoda.

If it can be posted great otherwise I'll be at Roebling, Barber and VIR.

I don't know, you were pretty entertaining back in the pits too after you'd taken something for the pain and had a beer or two! ;)

i watched that crash, it almost seemed like your back end stepped out and then clipped the curb or went on the grass.

I'm only entertaining after a couple of beers... ;D

Yeah, someone else said it looks like I got it in the grass right there when it stepped out. Seems like if the curb was a few feet longer I would have been ok. I ran over it on the previous lap I think.
