CCS at VIR 9/19-20

[drew231506]

Not sure if anyone comes on this forum but I just wanted to say I had a blast at VIR this past weekend!!  I met a ton of great people, to many to list.  A huge thanks to Chronic Racing who helped me get my bike back together, Steve for lending me his brake bleeding kit, and Nate Kern for offering helpful advice all weekend.

A lot of people went down but it looks like everyone is ok.   

Hope to see everyone next year.

Yeah it was a great time. Barely any crashes and nearly no rain (Friday practice was a wash out in the afternoon). For the girl that crashed her pit bike in our pits on Saturday night we hope you are okay. You seemed a little too drunk for words.

Does anyone know how the rider is that got hit in turn 7 during race 12, I came though the dust and saw only bodies bikes and parts, I had heard someone got hit but did not hear a name or number of the rider who was injuried..

A safe weekend that went real smooth thanks to all the CCS and crew for all there efforts. Special thanks to Air Fence Andy I got to test  out his the fruits of his labor in turn 4 during practice on Friday. My first time to VIR loved the track and the grounds..Great place to race

Talked to my buddy and he said that the kid broke his humerus and his femur. 19 years old. Prayers go out to him.

I know one of the riders, Justin Carney was involved.  I sent him a message on another forum but he hasn't replied.  I heard he is ok though.  I'd like an update too.

I agree with you.  VIR rocks!

[crossroads425]

PS3 man!  No xbox here.  

getting a sun lamp helps me, already getting my SADD!!!!!! Yo Drew don't sell your self short you were up there every time man.

I might get the lamp this winter.  I'm coming at winter with a multi-pronged attack plan this year.  Including sun lamps, strategic vacations, prescription meds, some kind of time sucking video game, all my tv shows, and maybe tanning bed trips.  Eff the winter....hate it.  This reminds me, I need to make an appt with my doc.

I'm fine with how I did...im just inconsistent.  We'll give it one more shot next year....then I'm retiring.  

[crossroads425]

His name is Thomas Saey #921 AM, he was flown to another hospital (UVA) after scans for better care. Broken arm, bruised lungs, and shattered hip socket.

He is in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Damn, I didn't know about this.  Positive thoughts out to him and those involved.

Update on Thomas. He had surgery on his arm and hip.  They put a pin in his arm.  They also put a pin in this leg to pull (with 42lbs) his leg jambed out of socket.  They repaired socket also.  His dad said they may let him go home in 3-4 days!  Wow.  He was very thankful for all the calls and care everyone has been showing.

Joe, Please tell your wife thank you again for breakfest sunday :) It was great seeing you guys again. Hope to see you guys in Daytona.

Pull his leg jammed out of the socket.  OUCH.  Sucks...but glad to see he'll be going home in a few days. 

serious?

Oh yea...buncha jibber jabber about something that happens by itself.  That's my theory...and I know what I'm talking about....ive been riding motorcycles now for 1.5 years.

You got it.  Daytona is up in the air, but we can hope!

Heal up soon Tom and anyone else injured last weekend.I came through T7 just behind those guys and it looked pretty nasty.It was a good weekend overall with some great close racing.

[Expat2b]

Great weekend everyone - always find myself wishing it could be just a bit longer.  Get well wishes to those who crashed, and admiration for those who were racing while injured from previous incidents (or who worked so hard to salvage the weekend with a whole lot of zip ties after an incident, only to be taken out by another unfortunate incident  )  Your resilience and ingenuity continue to amaze me.   Hope to see many of you again at Daytona!  If not, then for sure next season!  Thanks for another wonderful year!
