QuoteWow, I saw the pictures in RRW.  Was the cause really running low on fuel with the following bike hitting the lead bike as the motor stumbled?

W'sup Bruce....

I was the One flying, Ike, and the story goes like this...

I pre-entered my races, but added this one late (at the track), ... which put me in the second wave, row two,... 23rd startind spot.... (waaaayyyy back)
that wreck was the final strait to the finish (race over)
well... they put me in a 10th place finish in the books...
I think that I had taken to the track better than a  lot of the guys, cuz by the 2nd lap I had caught and started passing into the 1st wave....
I'm sure Stu was running in the top 5 or close to it...
(we're both top 5 riders)...
so on the final turn, I am able to get into the turn under one guy, and upon exiting I noticed that I was getting suprisingly close to the next guy, and thats pretty much the last thought I had ... cuz the next thing I saw was the one in front of me (who I was closing in on fairly hard) he and Stu came together on a side swipe and I knew that I couldnt avoid contact in anyway, so..... I...... ..... uhm... sorta quickly decided that the best option would be to try and go over the top cuz there wasnt time to get left or right, nor stop... so I closed my eyes (really really tight!!!) jumped, held my breath (really really tight) and braced (really...) and there you have the photo's....

Even tho I have another one from the opposite andle that I'm holding till these sorta die down...
I have a ressurection photo, you can see that I flew no less that a 1/4 mile... (soon to come) (I have to get it converted)

You didn't believe ME when I told you you flew 1/4 mile...
The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"

Ike, whut up bro, its Scott from God Father Racing..How u been man..I gotta go pick up my new copy, I wanna get you and Stu and my team mate to sign it.  
For those of you who werent there, i watched the whole thing from the second floor of the paddock and u cant even imagine what a terrible site it was in person, especially wathing Ike unconscious and watching stuart waiving his arms....u both get a lot of props in my book....All i could do was try and console the woman who was there with/watching Ike and let her know he was gonan be allright.
Cant wait to see u guys this season with the white plates.
Stuart i hope you are able to get hooked up with Dr. Ting..hes amazing from what i hear

Hey Scott!!! Wutsup Man?!?!....
Good to hear from you, and a million thanks, again, for trying to calm Lonette down (team-mate) at Barber!!! She said she couldnt move  ;D It's fun to tease her now  ::) but I cant imagine switching shoes with her at THAT time... But I always say, WE have a GREAT COMMUNITY, us racers, and our families (cant leave out the ones (like Lonette) who drag us out and keep us going when we get discouraged)(does that happen to anyone else?)...That was good timing on your part....
well everything is going good... just need about 5-6k so i can get a new bike and start crying broke and dreaming about the track, whenever i'm not there...


Tell your Dad I said "WUTTUP!!!" and I still got his #, and I still plan on checking out that offer he made me  ;D ...... oh, GOOD WORK at Daytona Too, Was proud for you, you rode good!!!
no problem on the autograph (Who would turn down some one who wanted your hancock in cafe???  ;)

And NO WAY I'M MISSING BARBER!!!! SWEET SWEET TRACK !!!!!
everyone needs to go!!!

Bruce,
THANKS....

STUMPSTER!!!!!
Miss you guys MAN!!!.... I want you to know that I'm sure it's gonna take me a few weekends to catch you and that (slow-poke) BENJI....
but dont look back ( I dont want you to make it too easy on me  ;D )
