Sorry about your crash, but it was good to hear you weren't injured seriously. Get that frame TIG'd up and the bike will be good to go.

For some dumb reason I was wearing my Teknic Chicane 2 piece. For the last session I wore my Used A* SMX suit I just got. Much better, and you won't see me in that Teknic suit again.

Now If I could just find a TIG welder in my area...

If only he would have stayed in the red group...

Funny thing is he was pitted just across from me, I don't know if he knew what happened but he wasn't looking me in the eye at all.

what needs to be taken away from the incident though is that even though he might have slowed WAY up ... there should still be enough in reserve to be able to make the adjustment for that since it is just a track day.

I find that in order for me to be able to stick to someone I need to know who they are and how they ride, and be comfortable riding with them. In each group level you have a wide range of people and its something to keep in mind when riding around.

Yeah I was pitted right next to him, I figured out who you were by the DOC on the bike but you looked busy and a little aggrevated so I did not introduce myself. I had the CBR600rr with the Red plastics with white number plates.

Glad to see you were able to make it back out though and that you will be albe to run this weekend.

Another lesson would be to never follow in someone's wheeltracks, especially through corner. A little inside their line is safest. If they crash, you roll right past.

I agree with Saxman and Paul... I think I was a little on the inside, I certainly did not leave myself enough of a cushion. Believe me I learned, the hard way. I am very used to people pulling on me out of that turn, he didn't and I crashed.

I certainly do not blame the guy, it was my fault and I am glad I didn't hit him.

rjh200, I wasn't aggravated at anyone, just myself. You should have said Hi.

Now that you have been iniated into the ass over tea kettle NHIS club. DON'T DO IT AGAIN. Know your limits.

The previous session, didn't I say that you need to tame things down.

I've got my eye on you boy....


Yes you may have been chasing us down unfortunately were not running hard as I was simply trying to show SMF areas of the track that he needed some line adjustments. The slower pace was for him to recognize where he was on the track. I was at turn 8 when I saw Fred throw the flag. I kept my eye open and saw someone down in 3. At that time I did not know it was you until later on. Then I found out that you were trying to chase us down. TTD are for people to have fun while being safe and not compromising yourself or others. The race track on the other hand. I think we know what happens on the track.

Enough of the lashing... I know you are probably harder on yourself than anybody else could be. Well except maybe me. Only because someone need to look out for you. I also know that there is a lesson to be learned and you realize that. You are quickly learning Daniel Son. Heed the words of cautions. Someone might see something that you feel you are not doing.

Get that puppy fixed so I, sorry, we can see you race this weekend...

[Doc]

I must say the only reason I was even attempting to catch up was that I saw you guys were having to get through traffic and thought your pace was going to be slow enough for me to close a little bit. I had pitted out and waited until you came by the front straight then pulled out a little further behind than I thought, I was with you for a couple laps but as I have said, I wasn't being smooth and got stupid. Most definately lesson learned.
