Mid Atlantic racer Randy Rega was injured at Pocono in the start of the F-USA Thunderbike race. A lot of racers were asking about him, so I'm filling you in.The infamous can't see it til you're halfway in it turn always causes major chaos and when another rider ran wide and locked up the brakes trying to stay on the pavement, Randy slammed him from behind and went cartwheeling. He suffered a C7 vertabrae injury and at least one broken rib. He was released with a neck brace Sunday night and is resting at home. Randy had a great weekend going until that point. He won the Lightweight Superbike race on his SV650 over Josh Ratcliffe in a battle deluxe. He also got down to a 1:49.33 lap time, probably the fastest Lightweight bike time run at that track aside from a TZ. He also had a photo finish for 2nd in LWGP with Jim Bonner on his TZ250. In GT Lights, he finished 3rd behind Brian Bemisderfer and Josh Ratcliffe. His lap times would have put him in the top 5 for sure in the Thunderbike class. Randy is in contention for 3 class championships in the Mid-Atlantic, so his recovery time will determine how that goes with only 2 race weekends left. The Old Bull logo on his bike might tell you something.I'm sure he'd like to hear from some well wishers. Contact him at regatr@aol.com
