:confused The one time I can't make it and people are putting paint to the pavement. OK just kidding. Just glad there are no injuries. I guess if it has to happen, the track is the safest possible place with a crew of control riders and paramedics on site (and hopefully never needed).

Tyler, WTF happened man? I had left early because I was making some mistakes, so I didnt want to crash, that is why I called it early. So this happened after I left I take it? Come on man, give me some details.

As for the guys from TI2TT: thanks for hosting such an awsome event again. I will be there for future trackdays.

Hope all the guys and gals that took an early leave get healed up and back out there. :thumbup

you were looking really good out there, i followed you many time throughout the day including for your little slide exiting turn one which you controlled very well, great job out there :thumbup

Most of the crashes were from people riding over their heads I believe. I didn't see but 1, so I can't really give a definate answer.

It was good to see you having a good time at the track Jaime! :thumbup

Yeah, I always have a good time at track days. I try to keep improving my skill and it seems to be working. I don't treat it like a race, although I do like chasing guys faster than me to see if I can keep up. SPEED, when you passed me one time I kept up with you for about half the track. But then you were gone. I guess I have a healthy fear of crashing so I don't push it too hard.

I've been getting the run down of the days events. To bad 5 out of 7 where from one group. Looks like pushing there bikes above there skill level. Still nice to see no injuries bigger then bumps and bruises.

See you on the 9th for another round then! :happyb

Kwik Kwak · 04-20-2005, 03:05 PM

I had a great time at the track Monday! :happyb
B group unfortunately suffered with a few too many crashes that cost them track time but no serious injuries so we can be grateful for that.

Not going to be able to make May 9th but I'll be there after that. :thumbup

No, actually, we did not meet. Early in the day, Stephanie pointed you out for me but you were really busy. Busy busy busy.

Next time.

Chris,
well after playing with Kwik Kwak (chris) for most of the last session I'm not sure where I lost Chris but on the last lap, saw the checker and started to roll off a bit to go into one becasue it was the COOL down lap.

So with SPEED right on my butt unknown to me I flick it into one, nothing abnormal. The front just tucked, bike fell down fairly hard on my left leg and me and the bike caught I started tumbling and my bike just flipped onto its right hand side. Smashed the rear wheel up pretty good, and jacked the right hand side. No damage whatsoever on the left hand side. The fact that the bike and I tumbled saved SPEED from having to umm educate me to what it feels like to be ran over. I really think someone was watching out for me in the fact that I tumbled and all of all people SPEED was behind me.

So there ya go.....will remember that one for a while thats for sure.
