    round 1 sucks when you can't race

    I had a freak accident at home just before leaving for the track early Saturday morning, ended up with a big headache and a trip to Urgent Care getting a few staples to close the gash in my head. Is there a smiley that let's me bitch slap myself? I went to the track for a few hours anyway, got some new tires mounted at S&C, said hi to my pit mates, watched the rookie race and a few more. It sucked being there and not racing, and it sucked again today.

    That's too bad man. It was good to see you though. Those staples would have really hurt in the helmet. See you in May?

    Accidents happen - even though sometimes they suck!

    Great seeing you as always - May isn't too far away!

    Re: round 1 sucks when you can't race

    Yup, missing round 1 sucks. I missed round 1 two years ago after knocking myself out and bending my bike in the bowl during Thursday practice...

    Sorry I missed you at the track this weekend, hope to see you next round.

    Thanks guys, I'll be back with a vengeance in May. I was going to title the thread FML, but I have a great life, just piss poor timing this round. I hope everyone else had a blast this weekend, the weather sure was perfect.

    Re: round 1 sucks when you can't race

    So are you going to tell us what kind of a dumb stunt you pulled or just leave us hanging? You looped a wheelie riding your race bike down the street without a helmet on, didn't you. You seem the type...

    Re: round 1 sucks when you can't race

    I only wish it was something spectacular, stupid, and motorcycle related. Instead, I spilled water on the floor while rushing to make my lunch (the very last thing I had to do before leaving for the track), soaked it up with a towel, then stood up very aggressively under the open kitchen cabinet door. And when they staple your head without numbing anything it feels exactly like they are slowly stapling your head.

    Re: round 1 sucks when you can't race

    Last August my Mom & me had just departed for the track. We rolled over on I290. The new camper was totaled. The truck was totaled. And the racebike is a mess. The toolbox was spread over the highway....The worst? My mom spent a week in IC. Another week in a regular ward then about 3 weeks in a rehab. She is 100% today cause she always took good care of herself. My mom just turned __ . But I will give you a hint. I am the second kid and I am 58. The family gave her a surprise party at Wright's Chicken Farm.

    Sorry I asked. You really need to come up with a better story next time.

    I agree, but I'm aiming for no more stories and good racing instead!

    My Mom is the lady on a bicycle with the black toy poodle. She likes coming to the riders meeting and sneaking onto the track at sunset.

    I can't decide if I should take the doors off or just stop packing my lunch. The staples came out yesterday in any case, and I'm ready NOW. Will try to roam around and say hi to the new guys if I have a chance, but I'll be set up in the infield (they should call it the outfield).

    Oh damn...I imagine there was a lot of loud swearing after the cabinet incident. That's a seriously frustrating event, especially after the long winter.

    May'll be better!
