:wtf: So yes I was the guy that severely aided in the chopping of times for the GT races on Sat at VIR (Sept 20). Sorry! :banghead: I wrecked in the GTO race and got a Medevac flight to Duke where I spent 9 days in the shock trauma unit. They preformed 4 miracles in fixing my arm. I say miracles because they (the trauma surgeons) said that they have not seen a elbow shattered that bad before. The sum of my injuries: sprained wrist, shattered elbow, compound fractured upper arm (through the skin), separated clavicle, torn ligaments all over, bruised ribs (left side),  bruised lung, huge knot on my left thigh, twisted knees and very bruised hips. The worst overall was the fact that they hinted to me twice that I may lose my right arm. Luckily I didn't, but even today a month later I lay here back at home in Pasadena in pain. :wah: I have healed at a remarkable rate said the arm and shoulder specialist at U of M shock trauma unit. Anyways  :whine: I know there are plenty of racers that have gone through this.

The reason I started this topic was to see if anyone had pictures or video of my wreck or the medevac. I was on a dark blue and black 2006 GSXR-1000 race number 145.

PS typing with one hand sucks!

Did not see your crash. I did see your flight out and said a few prayers for you. I know I wasn't the only one praying either. Sorry, no video of your helo ride. I don't know you brother (yet) but I am very happy to hear you are on the road to recovery.  Stay focused and let us know how your rehab progresses. 2o2f2s

Check On The Throttle - they have VIR video, but not sure if it's from June or Sept (though I think that it's from June).  I do have video of your flight though, and stills of you being loaded up on to the chopper, if you want.

Good to hear you're ok Jeremy. I heard the arm injury was pretty bad. If you'd like to talk to the cornerworker who was first on the scene let me know, she's my g/f.

Craig you need to update your signature.
