Any number of small factors could have come into play that could have resulted in the "sorry bud" being said to Scott's fatherless sons. It's dangerous enough already without yahoos dreaming they are in motogp.

BTW, nice going this weekend Ryan.

Thanks

I do agree. I'm just talking in general "incident" terms, I didn't see this happen so I really can't comment on it. From my time on the track, I do think theres a fine line between a lack of experience and negligence. I know I've T-boned someone in T3 as a novice....I was on race pace, came on the brakes and simply couldn't slow down fast enough because the person in front of me was going extremely slow. I had to go to the right to avoid rear ending him, and by the time I did he had turned in. Neither of us went down thank god, and we spoke afterwords about it and laughed (we shared responsibility, but I was truly at fault) but that was lack of experience.... in what sounds like a similar situation.

Conversations like this could go on forever....bottom line, heal up quick man....hope to see you back out there
