Some of you may or may not know about the "wreck" at Barber i'm not going into any detail i will let the ones involved do so..however Stu #666 and Ike #40 were both taken to the hospital today they are both fine...i talked to and saw Ike before i left and he was happy..i guess from all the drugs ;D he got a pretty nasty cut on his hand in the wreck..not sure how many stiches... i have yet to talk to Stu because he was in the operating room from what i understand he broke his collar bone and leg... just thought you all might want to know and send them your best wishes
Glad you made it home ok Greg. Like I said, I was the last one to leave! LOL. What a week-end huh dude!
I was wondering how Barber went.....
However this is not the report I wanted to hear. :'( It sounds like both are going to recover, thankfully. Best wishes to all.

Get well soon Stu and Ike...sorry to hear about your misfortune. If there's anything we can do, just let us know. Ya'll better be healed in time for the Buffalo Shrimp in Daytona!!! ;)
Best wishes and hope you guys are back on the track soon!
Stump and I are thinking of both of you! Take care!!!
Heather
Arrgh! Double ouch! :-/
Heal quick, you guys... :(
Get well quick guys!
Sending along get well wishes to the both of you.
I spoke with Stu last night on the phone. He had just gotten out of surgery to repair his broken leg, so he was pretty well drugged up. They also found that he broke his collar bone, but that was the least of his worries. He is at UAB Hospital in Birmingham and will probably be here at least a couple of days.
I think the biggest injury is to his heart. He feels just awful about what happened.
I will probably go see him after work today.
Post your well wishes here and I will print them out and take them to him.
Thanks,
Scott Padgitt

DOOOOOD !!!!!!! Barber is SWEEEET, SCHWEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!
SCHWING!!!!! MAN! O! MAN !!!.....
if you havent seen the pictures from the wreck, youre gonna love em!!.....
(if they get out...) definately crash page material.....
this liability crap sucks....
most know from my region that ive had bike trouble, and well it seemed to be sorted, as far as the f4 is concerned, i was back in the wood on saturday, with two 4ths from the 4th row.... before the rain came...
but the most i know is that..... ive always wanted to get out to Laguna (still do),............ and learning that Barber is wanting to lure MotoGp, I had to go!
I am the MOST pleased with my experiance on every lap at Barber as anyone could be... yes they can re-pave it and work with those seams (which arent bad) but We are talking world class Facilities...... Thumbs up.period.
I wanted to meet Stu, and didnt know where he was in the paddock, but planned to Introduce myself..... but in the first race on sunday, we ended up coming together...
I know he asked about me when we were in the ER, he didnt know how near i was, or that i was askin about him moments before.... and tho we didnt ever shake hands on it, Glad to have shared the track with ya Stu-V, .... heal up.....

Damn Ike,
I have never met you, but I sure want to. You are a Racer's racer. I was not at the track when you and Stu "came together" but from all the descriptions it was quite a tumble. I will see Stu tonight and pass this on. I know he will appreciate it.
Hope you heal soon,
Scott Padgitt
Glad your OK Ike !!!
Stu,
I hope you recover well! I am sorry about the glove thing.........if you don't remember I'll fill you in at Jennings or the next time I see you. You are one hell of a good rider and I hope to see you soon.
By the way, to have been in the condition you were in when I got to you , you have such a great sense of humor and one hell of a tolerance for pain.
Lots of love and luck buddy to you and Ike both!!!
