Couldnt had been wilder than the save #62AM Mike R(something. I forget:D) had coming out of turn 2 in fromt of me. :o Ever see the back wheel of a bike 3 feet in teh air and come down crossed up and still saved it with flat tires. :o

Rob,

I was working turn 2 and had that happen right in front of me!!  Guess the front edge of that rumble strip has grabbed a couple of guys recently!

It was so close I had my finger on the button ready to call in 'Control Turn 2 - bike down rider down".  I was even more amazed when I heard that he was able to keep it upright with the amount of damage to the wheels.

Rick
