Title: Who is #888 am that crashed @ VIR in the esses...?
Post by: RADRB8 on September 29, 2004, 09:32:49 AM
 This happened in MW SB.  
I am very curious about his condition... ??? Did he have any injuries...? Is he OK...? It looked just plain NASTY from my view... :o
 
 His crash happened about 15 to 20 yards in front of me... It looked like he attempted to wheelie the curbing and caught the front on the inside edge which cause the violent get-off...Besides his bike spinning across the track in front of another rider & myself then taking on ALOT of air and tumbling at least 6 times after it contacted the guard rail, I was just waiting for the bike to bounce back into the race line and thankfully it never did. It was hard to tell due to all of the dust but, it did look like the rider had a pretty good impact as well... :o

  I know that no flags were thrown (to my knowledge) except the debri flag which was needed (IMO)...

  If anyone knows anything or #888 reads this please post a reply...Thanks

He is OK. He got a little banged up but he was walking around . It sounds like he is very lucky to have walked away. The story I got was a little different . Was anyone else involed?

No, nobody else was involved thank god..It could've been REALLY bad...Yes he is extremely lucky to have walked away from that one...He should definitely be thanking the man UPSTAIRS for looking out for him...!!!

 What story did you get...? Just curious...?

If he has pics of the DAMAGE I'd like to see them...

Something to the effect of someone made a mistake in front of him and he contacted them. I guess he was lucky along with everyone near him.

I don't recall another rider with him but, the other rider could've been hidden from my view...But, it didn't look that way from where I sat...

That had to be Coty Stockton from Salem, VA .. he's the only 888 am we assigned a transmitter to.

He's listed in the Control Log as going down at Turn 6. He was okay and picked up by the truck.

I was more worried that he was ok more than anything...ya jacka**...But if there are pics or video out there lets see it already... I am sure someone can learn what NOT to do in the esses...
