Title: AM 844 Highside
Post by: poppop587 on May 27, 2009, 07:07:52 AM
Does anyone know how Dustin is doing.  He had an ugly highside between turns 7 and 8 during race 12 on Monday.  If anyone knows how to contact him please email me at roadracer587@comcast.net.  Dustin is an AM who was riding the red #844 SV65

I heard he broke his collarbone (but that was just what a corner worker told me).  I managed to get the following shots of his accident...

Dustin, if you see this, please e-mail me.  I have a free 8x10 of each photo with your name on them.  You earned em then hard way.

Those are great photos.  I hope that Dustin is doing well.  If anyone has an update on his condition I would appreciate it.

I was in Turn 7 when the incident occured- so I would also like to know how he is doing!
I'm the one who called the ambulance for him (he seemed fine, and then started feeling the pain).

The first words we usually get as cornerworkers is 'how is the bike'. His first words were "Did it look cool??".

Well, based on the pictures I think he has the answer!!

ALSO: where can I buy copies of those pics? They are GREAT- should send them for the RRW crash page!

i don't think I would wear those boots for racing. I see skin above the boot in the second picture.

Dude!  That is one amazing highside!  Great pics too!

I agree with Brian, those boots don't offer enough protection for my liking as well.

Still hoping to find Dustin.  If anyone knows him, please tell him to e-mail me at carpe_luminous@comcast.net.  He has a couple of free 8x10s coming.

Well, if you're gonna do something, do it right.

My dad was right behind him when it happened
His take on it was kind of funny - He says, "I didn't know you could go that fast thru this corner......OH! I guess you can't go that fast thru this corner!"

No disrespect to Dustin, I hope he's ok
And yeah, I'd have to give that a 9.5 on the high-side style-o-meter

That was the most incredible shot I have ever seen of a pre highside!! WOW

Heal up dude, that was a nasty high side.

And whats up with those boots? I can see your leg skin.
