Anyone know his condition after the crash at Mid-Ohio? :o
Was wondering why he had a "DNS" listed next to his name in the standings. What happened? Crash in practice/qualifying I assume?
Congrats to Doty tho on his top-20 finish! Not bad considering he's never been to that track before!
@#$%!!! Purk's hurt? Info please!
Yeah let us know asap!
Anyone
Anyone???
He crashed about 8 laps into the restarted superstock race. I work with the announcers right above turn 8, he crashed right underneath of our location. Looked like a typical lowside into the airfence, but I think the bike must have caught him going in. I talked to the Styles(sp?), who he was pitted with, and they said he had a couple broken ribs, a bruised lung, and a possible broken sternum, although they couldn't find a break. He was kept overnight for observation.
Never met him, but hopfully he heals quickly
I saw Purk the next day. He was definitely mobile (riding the paddock on his scooter), but he's seen better days.
Yeah, Mid-Ohio and Doc get along...
Two years ago, he had a compound dislocation of his left elbow. NICE!
Dave or whoever else, please E me with Jeff's phone #.

Hi, Big A$$$,
Pain!
Not so bad, but bad enough to use drugs!!! :)
I low-sided in turn seven (the uphill then downhill left turn). There is no
runoff; the airfence is at the edge of the track. Bike hits airfence, I hit
front of bike with my back. I suffered two broken ribs (#10 &11), a bruised
kidney, and a bruised lung. I didn't want to stay, but they made me stay
overnight for observation. They had some concern regarding a pneumothorax.
Tricia with some help from Doty got everything loaded up and we left during
the 250 race on Sunday.
Dave:
Thanks for the update!
Please pass along our well wishes.
Thanks!
Paul, Dawn & Renee

I'd think he'd try to make Topeka if he can.

What are you trying to say DAve??
I'm having problems w/ T5 at MAM.
Now if I go back to MAM and eat sh*t again in T5 then yes I have some serious problems that I have to work out with myself.
:P :P :P
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Dr. Purk. :-/

Ya dave I have this problem when ever I'm in front of you, I have this BAD habit of crashing or messing up somehow. But you do have to admit, I'm always entertaining to watch :P ;)
