cause I don't remember a damn thing???
I crashed hard in turn 1 during middleweight supersport race......
Ended up with a bad concussion and broken wrist. bike isn't too bad, but the body work is dead.
thanks
Erick
just bumping this up.....I know someone had to see what happened
I saw nothing but the aftermath of that one. I was out there with you and the red flag came out when I was somewhere towards the back side of the track. Glad to hear that you're ok (sort of). Hopefully your wrist will heal quickly.

I can't even remember if it was off the start or after the first lap
I don't know what happened but I saw the bike as it came in on the crash truck.....nasty. Glad you're ok, heal up quick bro.
Erick, it was great talking to ya at Roebling, and thanks for encouraging our new racer Ricky, am#527, who wadded in turn 4. It meant a lot to him, and after a lot of folks helped rebuild the bike, he made it out again during your race. He said it looked like you came in hot, not sure if another bike got your line, but you ended up launching off the embankment into the woods. Needless to say we were all pretty concerned when he came in and told us, then we found your bike lying in the grass next to tec, and when we caught up with ya at the ambulance...lets just say you didnt remember where you were pitted...or what planet you were from. We figured it out and got the bike back and helped get her loaded on your truck. I hope the wrist heals quick and glad to hear the bike is not as bad as it looked. It really helped me get back on the track after my wreck by hanging around other racers and coming to the events, so don't be a stranger. Heal up fast bro, and thanks again for standing by Ricky. Art.
embankment huh??? yeah, no wonder I don't remember. I have no idea how I blew the corner that bad. I was doing really well braking deep into t1 and catching guys there. maybe I got light headed from the heat....scary thought, but it is possible. I am just glad I didn't take anyone with me.
if anyone has any other info at all, please post it up.
art, thanks for the words and the picture you left for me with greg.
Bro,
I'm glad to hear your okay..!! I spoke with you several times throughout the weekend, usually looking at the scoring board and grids (Jamie, #42, short goofy kid....). ::) I didn't see the actual happenings, but the grid just bunched up in T1. I hope all is well and let me know if you need any help getting the bike and you going. Tell your buddy #818 thanks for showing me around, Roebling a pretty cool place I'll have to make it back down that way!
Take care,
Jamie...
Glad you are ok man!
greg told me that after the race you came up to him ands were talking about how you ran into someone in turn 1???? could that have been me? no worries, I am just still trying to figure out how it happened.

Sorry bro.. The pump I had was with a super nice guy, Joshua Henry! I launched my bike on the first start, got off good, and found a crowd going into T1, I was on the white line to the left, elbowed Joshua and his windscreen going in, then snapped the bike down. We came through, I saw the RED Flag and immediately went over and apologized to him in the "Hot Pit". Being the cool guy that he is, he just thanked me for giving him the room I did and taking a chance going wide rather than forcing him down. Good kid!!
Sorry that doesn't help you, but just take some time, if it doesn't come to you, chalk it up and get going again.
Cool..?? I hope all is well and take it easy bro!!

no worries man, not trying to blame anyone, just still trying to figure out what happened.
i was in a pack on the outside of T1 getting ready to turn in when this red bike comes flying up the inside, hits the apex, then goes pretty much straight off the track. you were FLYING. no doubt you were too hot into that corner on that inside line. maybe a little trail braking caused the front to tuck?
i couldn't afford to pay too much attention as i was busy trying to stay alive out there! glad you are ok.
didnt see it but super glad that your ok. Least you and my brother had a good spot to watch that race cus it came down to me having to catch greg on the last lap. Heal up and good luck.
Brutha,
You boys were goin good, sorry I was a moving chicane. I noticed your brother listed Hubert, NC in last year's results. I grew up there, and live just down the road. What give's..??
Good times..!!

Yeah he has a house in Hubert, he lived there while in the Marines. He's in Huntsville, bama now. First time ive had to start in the back in a long time but thought for the most part everyone rode safe and sound.
