Hey Mike, maybe you can "entice" Racer #911 to update us on his condition???  BTW - Tyler asked me what bike went down in my turn.  I told him 911 - and he promptly responded " SO you had to 911!" he laughed hysterically at himself (although that could have something to do with the amount of SUGAR he gets while he's at the track)

I PM'ed Bobby and he said after visiting the DR he indeed had broken his ankle and still pressed on in 3 more races after his get off in T5.  DR also said his season was over but Bobby seemed to think differently.  He's hoping for a removeable cast.

Maybe he needs to see the Moto GP doctor... he can fix em up and throw em back better than any!!!!

I was SHOCKED to hear him being called as "last bike" on a siting lap only moments after his wreck!

Riding on a broke ankle I'm wondering if maybe we should suggest he see a different kind of doctor altogether.  

Just kidding Bobby, nice show of nuts and determination to get back out there.

thanks, guys.  maybe i should have read this thread before starting the other one.

it was kinda funny, actually.  i was sitting there with a cold pack on my ankle and heard first call for race 9.  the conversation went something like:

friend:  are you going out?
me:  is the bike back together?
friend:  it will be in 1 minute.
me:  give me my leathers!

then one minute later, my friends are putting me on the bike and i barely make it out in time for the warm-up lap.  let's just say that the feeling in my ankle was slightly unpleasant to say the least, especially muscling the bike around 7, 8 and 9.  i also had to use my whole leg to shift, because i couldn't flex my ankle.  it was interesting.

btw, whenever somebody asks me why my number is 911, i tell them it's so that the cornerworkers know what # to call when i crash.

I wanted to thank all of the corner workers for helping out, Thanks for picking up the pieces after my Saturday crash,  turn 4 warm up You have no idea how much of a burden you take of a riders mind when you take over and look after all of the post crash details, and gear...Bob

[TheHiriser]

Bobby you got balls bro.

Bob, thanks for coming out and racing giving us something to do and great to see you posting after a get off.  Did you walk away with any injuries at all?  Was this the 4 bike pile up?  Looked like a motorcycle junkyard when I got there with the crash truck with pieces everywhere if it was.

[plasticweld]

Mike I ended up with a broken arm, I am waiting to scheduled for surgury to have a rod put in the bone.

Yes I was part of the 4 bike pile up. Mark the rider that was air lifted suffered a broken leg and a broken ankle, please keep him in your prayers for recovery,

Thanks ...Bob

[TheHiriser]

Sorry to hear about your broken arm Bob and hope it heals up quick. 

Thoughts and well wishes go out to Mark.  Heal up quick bro.

Does he come to this forum at all?  Would be great to get updates on how he's doing.

[Kuala76]

Bob and Bobby... great to see you guys posting!  Well wishes to all for quick and speedy recoveries!!
