Rider OK?

it was at the start. i dont think my brake lever was hit. i was just hit hard. i remember getting hit, the bike wobbling, then i was tumbling down the straight with bike #301 coming right at me.

this was yesterday's AM GTO race (race #1).

my ankle is a little sore, stiff neck, and it feels like someone punched me in the back ribs.

i was able to get back out in that race after some zip ties, duct tape, and the help of Degsy, Pigman, and Frenchy. I finished that race, as well as the other 3 i was entered in for yesterday.

Wow. That could've been ugly.
Strong work Jimmy.

I was working in 1.....watched the whole thing.....adrenaline was pumping so hard that I almost fell over with relief when I saw you get up......took me two more races to calm down from that.

That is not how I like my starts...

[Jim]

i remember running down the straight after my bike, with the sole in my boot 1/2 ripped off. it felt like i was running with a flipper on my foot.

tossed on some duct tape around the boot, couple of zip ties on the bike, and i was back out there for that race.

[wiggeywackyo]

That's wild. Good work on getting back in.

I had no idea that happened and I was right in front on you. Nobody said anything about it and we were talking about the starts after the race. Good to see your ok.

Unfortunately, I got 0 points for re-entering and finishing the race. It would've been nice to know before they cleared me to go back out there.

That Blows!!!!!!

[Jim]

That Blows!!!!!!

After talking to officials yesterday. There's a rule specifically for the GT races stating that all repairs must be done in pit row. Once you go to the garages, you're basically DQ'd.

It sucks to do 8 races this weekend and lose the points I needed, but it's my fault for not knowing the rules.

[ninjachica250]

glad you're ok Jim!!!

HOLY CRAP. Glad you are ok that could have been ugly.
