Just so you know - you did a great job under less than ideal circumstances!  :cheers:

I really appreciate hearing that. It was intimidating enough being a new "captain."

Until Vadim is around to take part in the conversation, I will refrain from discussing said incident here, or anywhere, out of respect to him and his family.

I agree, you did extremely well, and made good calls concerning the incident. You told control exactly what he needed to know.

Uh, that's cuz I was already on the track side of the wall, where ASD Astle told me to stand..... :err:

Much appreciated, hearing that. I'm too new to kick myself for "shoulda coulda woulda"s, only because I don't know everything yet, but I am still going over it wondering if there was anything I could have done better, or can do better for **god forbid** next time.

Thanks, guys. Glad to be a part of the team.  :thumb:

I was standing right behind you the whole time. Not only did you handle everything by the book, you took control of what was trying to become a caoutic situation and made it a complete safe environment for all the racers still on the track as well as the spectators and the fallen racer. I commend the way you handled everything, and even though I think you are kinda grumpy, I would be on your corner anytime!

And if you are second guessing yourself or anybody else is, DON'T. It was a bad situation that was handled 100% correctly by the M.A.R.R.C. Safety Crew until turned over to the medics and CCS Race directors.

Hey Josh, welcome aboard.  Now you can find out what is going on and also read about some of what you are missing.  Great talking to you and your dad the other night.  Have fun in college man.

You did great irregardless of being a newbie or not.  The call was exactly the information I needed to relay to CCS.  They heard our call along with theirs from start, and I never even had to ask for a red flag.  It was automatic, so you must have said something right.  Your calls were great, everyones calls were great.

Glad to have you as part of the team.  We all second guess every call we make.  Over analyze it.  The bottom line is all these thoughts go through all our heads.  Think about all the decisions and things you have to remember or be on the look out for in a split second. 

Could have said this, should have said that, this could have been shorter, longer, more info, better bike description, leather color, helmet color, re-enter safely, moto, left or right, rider up or down, bike in an impact area, rider in an impact area, do I need an ambulance, crash pick up, an ASD, time estimate, is there debris, unsafe riding, loose bike parts, smoke, dropping oil, other fluids, leathers open, visor down, the list goes on and on and on.

All that becomes second nature, you tend to just start seeing all of it.  And still you will ask yourself how to do it better and faster, and if you are doing everything right.
