Sorry Bernie, a dwarf and a midget at the same time doesn't really qualify as a 3-way.
Dang.....

Yeah, I kind of ride tracks to mitigate risk.  Some long stories about Topeka, but there was an opportunity to use the faster T1/T2 and reduce risk...

I crashed in Turn Alpha, yes.  Threw Jason's bike over the wall.  My approach to the corner saved me, and I was off my regular line.  So, I do feel lucky.  I went over the wall to get the bike going.  I did get it running down there fifteen feet below the track surface, but it took a truck to get it up and out to Jason for the rest of the weekend.  Race was going so well before then.  Kind of embarrassing.

Nah, it was cool, at least you didn't get hurt like others who met the wall that weekend.  I just remember in TC that you were flying and when I came up over the crest on the straight and started leaning and trailing for T1, a few seconds behind you, I saw you standing on the other side and wasn't 100% sure how you got there.  Anyway, was just glad that you didn't get hurt.

That same race I highsided in whatever turn is the sweeping up-hill left-hander before the short straight that leads to the chicane and broke a rib...all without the help of a wall even!
