First Race Weekend

[The Crashing Tomato]

I'll be brief.

Huge Thanks to everone that helped. There truely is a family at NHMS


Rook Race went off like Denno at the starting grid. Glad no one got a shot of that ... a 250 lb guy wheelying a 50 hp bike off the grid. WHHeeeeee.

although the bike spit and sputtered its way thru three laps ... I did finish

skip to the real deal NV LWSS

the peanut gallery in T3 stands got a pretty good show. the olympics called and they gave my tumble a 9.5

for those who weren't there:

Lap 5 I start to feel a groove and out of no where another rider late braking into my line at T3 turn in ate me up spit me out and left me for dead ..... all I remember is thinking "SHIT this is going to hurt" and damn it! It still does.

left knee badly bruised

left shoulder slight A-C separation

right foot ligament snapped

right hand knuckle muckled

I live to fight another day

[Manny]

Ah shit....I think this is the second story we have heard like this in recent weeks....really sucks.

Heal up fast.

[Dieseldan]

hope you feel better soon........

[R7]

Sucks to hear about your injuries..enough about you though, how is the bike?

Hope you're feeling beter soon

[a13x]

As I said at the track, sorry about the mishap (crazy that New Guy Fitz was right behind you!!) and glad you are overall 'okay'.

[wookie]

I couldn't believe how much air you got....seriously at least 6ft in the air (at least) Holy crap!!!

We were really worried until you sat up after a few mins.

[Kurlon]

Take your time healing up, it'd suck to jump the gun thinking you're ok only to re-aggravate a not-quite healed shoulder or knee. (or neck, or ankle... what didn't you strain/bruise/injure in that crash?)

[CapeRoots]

the peanut gallery in T3 stands got a pretty good show. the olympics called and they gave my tumble a 9.5

Got my money's worth and I actually gave you a 9.8


no seriously man glad your ok heal up quick!

[Fitz]

Dude. I thought you had been shot out of a canon. You were ~3-4 bike lengths in front of me when you went up...and up... and up. Wasn't sure if you tapped the guy in front of you or just grabbed a handful of brake lever. Either way, glad to hear you're allright.

[Pittenger5]

Dude that was definitely an impressive crash. Glad youre ok bud

[The Crashing Tomato]

... what didn't you strain/bruise/injure in that crash?)

the eye of the tiger Oh and the desire to get back out there ..... in September


after the O shit ..... I went to my HAPPY place ..... only to be brought back to reality by Gino asking if I knew where I was not in T4 ????

[Pittenger5]

not in T4 ????

Well you almost flew all the way to turn 9, so it was close

[jtaylor719]

I was in T3 as well. That was an amazing crash!
Did you run right into the back of the other bike, or did you clip your front brake lever? Looked like one of those GP crash videos, pretty amazing. Glad you're ok.
BTW, get a tail section - looked like the plates were dragging on the rear wheel

[Qfactor]

I witnessed that fantastic demonstration of Olympian gymnastics.

and I'll concur that it was well-worth a 9.8

happy healing.

...good to see you yesterday Matt. Glad you're OK.

and sorry I missed the show...any chance of a replay???

[apollomx681]

good to see you had a laugh about it in the garage that night..good to see your ok!! we will have to have a rematch in LW SS next weekend

[ku996r]

heal up man.
sorry we didn't hook up yesterday and missed the show. glad you are up and about.

[The Crashing Tomato]

Thanks everbody

Sorry Dave the replay of that one will have to wait for a while

besides you guys ... 800mg motrin are deff going to be my closest friends for the next couple of days.

I should be running right with you when I get the right damn coils on the Hawk.

JT not really sure felt like a combo of both me (braking) and the other rider not giving me any space to brake into .... what ever happened it was instantaneous.
yeah the tail is being replaced with something less GP like

[13]

I like the tail

[The Snowman]

I like the tail

Matty, just snap it off. It only holds the numbers anyway.

Guess you had a little more human damage than you initially felt. Bummer. heal up fast bud.

[butcher bergs]

Matt,
Heal up brother. Glad to see you were in good spirits on Saturday night.

[stevecbr900rr]

Glad to here your ok bud...sounds like that motor with wheels gave you a good kick in the ass. Show him who's boss next time. I hope the healing time is short and sweet...

[Paul_E_D]

Ouch! That's one hell of a start. Glad you're handling it well. Heal up.

[burnham]

Heal up man, that was an amazing crash. 9.8 all day.
