Sorry, I am definitely quilty as charged.  No more "playing" with DAN I promised!   ;)  I'll only post when I have "value added" information to share!   ;)

Now, can someone who has WERA BBS access PM Shawn Alexander (WERA novice #56) for me about his condition (ask him to email me if possible or post updates here)?  For those who didn't know yet, he crashed in T2 on the very first lap at Nelson Ledges yesterday.  I saw him gets flipped and tumbled through air and then across the track.........   :'(  Hopefully he's fine, or only suffers a shoulder dislocation as the first speculation with no broken bone/s.

Sunny, here's Shawn's post from earlier this afternoon.  I'll PM him to ping you.  Hope he has your e-mail address.

"Wow, typing is tough this morning. To all that helped out my family at the track collecting my bike and packing up the trailer, I would like to issue a huge thanks. Mike (ex 911), a huge thanks, to Aaron(nv 886) also big thanks, and to everyone else that helped my father-in-law out getting my stuff picked up. I have a 2nd degree seperation of my right shoulder, and a ton of bumps and bruises. Nothing broken, though. I was able to drive my stuff home last night. I was released from the hospital about 7:00pm last night.

A note to those invovled: I take full responsability for the crash. I was trying to occupy a hole that was closeing up too fast. I had a great start and just tried to get as many people in between me and second place as I could to try to win that one. Someone once said that the race is not won on the first lap. Sometimes thats true.

My season looks like it may be over, however. The damage to the bike looks bad, and with my money going to my SV for next year, I don't want to spend it toward the Hawk. But everything is up in the air right now.

Again a huge thanks to all of you that helped and worried about me this weekend. How did you finish Aaron? Whereever it was, it was due to gas!!

Thanks H!   Good to hear that he's alright, and not badly hurted!   ;)

I don't think he got my email address though.  You can get my email address from our club website I believe!   ;)

H-man

Uhhh... I'm guessing that you mean the DU website when you wrote "our club" ???  I'm not a member of the DU club.

Anywho, I went there, copied your e-mail address and PM-ed it to Shawn.
