So lap 1 (after restart) I was put into the wall by another rider trying to share the apex with me. I turned in quick, never even saw him ... the bike all of a sudden got stood up and I headed straight for the wall. I must have already had the throttle cracked because when I got uprighted i lurched forward ... saw the wall ... grad as much brakes as possible, endo'd the bike and went chest first into the tire wall.
From eyewitness account, the bike climbed halfway up the fence before it came down on the tires behind me.
I did not break one bone (thank you impact armor), just VERY VERY bruised up internally.
I was in 4th place feeling really good ... I felt like I could have had a run on the 1st place guy.
Thursday practice was great, saw 19s, 18s, and a 17.55 ... I had my game face on.
I appreciate that the guy that hit me came to find me making sure I was alright, and to find out later also helped me out of the tires. Accidents happen ... bikes can be fixed ...
I'll be back! (=
Thanks to EVERYONE who helped me out the past two days ... you all rock!
