Surviving the F-5 Tornado at Summit Pt

[YellowDesmo998]

Don't worry, we didn't have TOO much to say about you out there  !  Again, we did see that shake in your frontend coming into 5, which was odd because you were real smooth through 6 and 7. 

yeah, I've had some nasty front end chatter when hard on the brake's for a few weeks now.  I just can't seem to get it dialed out.  The front is smooth as silk everywhere else though.  I'm gonna have CTR look at it in two weeks.  See ya out there!!!!

You were working 5? I'm the idiot who through away the lead by crashing in the mud right in front of you (AM#277). I got up, ran back and picked the bike up, and it wouldn't start. I threw a full on tempur tantrum and you were trying to calm me down. I did get a third two races later. :)
Thanks, by the way, for calming me down and for giving my transponder to my buddy.

LOL Yep, that was me :):).  Believe me, your reaction was quite standard :):)  I just knew from experience that your bike would probably fire right back up if you gave it a couple seconds to "recouperate" :) 

Before I gave your buddy the transponder, I told him "I have to make sure you really are with his crew...how would he react after he dumped it??"  He was exactly right :):).  Although, as I said before, it's a quite standard reaction :)  Just glad you weren't hurt :)

Can you give me a little detail about the crash? I know how it happened, I'm just wondering how fast I was going when I left the track? How far off the track did I go before I actually went down? Anything you can tell me would be appreciated.

Tell us how he fell off.
How can I put salt in the wound if I have no ammo.

Came through 4, set up for 5, had no brakes, ran off, hit mud, fall down go boom. At least I didn't get my ass run over.

Hey, there's another benefit to corner working, it's the only place I get guys "falling at my feet"
