Crash turn 4 GTO race @ Summit Point Sat 7/5/08

[LilJayRR]

If any of you were at Summit this 4th of July weekend you probably know I crashed in Turn 4 and tested out a couple of sections of air fence. I broke my right ankle and got some bumps and bruises but overall I'm good. Its a pretty fast cornor to crash in and usually you don't come out as well as I did. The air fence did its job very well, I honestly didn't think I hit the air fence until the cornor worker told me I had.


I was just wondering if anyone that was in the stands in turn 5 were running video or taking pictures and possibly got it on film... ?

Also, thanks again to the MARRC cornor workers, crash truck, Paramedics and CCS staff etc.. that help me after the crash!!

  I saw the whole event and let's just say thank goodness for airfence for real!  Glad it was there for you!! 

[LilJayRR]

You and me both!!

There were a few people in the stands right there so I'm hoping someone caught it.

Also, went to the Doc today and he doesnt think it is broken all the way thru. He positioned my foot in two ways that the piece should of moved and and took x-rays of both and it didnt move. I got a "boot/walker" cast that I can take off (for showers) and adjust with air pockets and a pump to make it comfy. I'm already able to put a little wieght on it now and should be able to wobble around in a week or two without the crutchs, and be out of the boot in 4 weeks and good as new in 6 weeks.

I will be back in action in time for the next Summit Point round!!

I just got back from the doctor a few minutes ago due to my own crash in T4. Looks like I've got a torn rotator cuff... I'll know more tomorrow as to how severe...

Did they give you a aprox heal time?

[Russell2566]

no, but from my reading online, it's not super quick....

[LilJayRR]

Well you got like 7 weeks before the next summit round. Hopefully they will have done something about the surface by then.

Man, and I thought you were just whining...  ROFL !  Heal up quick Russ!  Like you said, at least you can still reach the keyboard and make a living.
