MSRC in May Role Call

[fixxervi6]

So how long does it take for Hart to get the photo's up??

[Blizzard_1708]

usually a couple days I think, probably tomorrow or wednesday.

[shilka99]

Well sports fans, here it is.
The guys who were at the track yesterday know what happened, I was T-Boned at the hairpin. By a club member... !

Most important thing - no hard feelings. I've been doing this long enough to know that accidents happen. I've made mistakes myself and I expect no one to be perfect.
Secondly, the damage was minimal. The tail section was snapped off below the passenger seat cover, the subframe is bent, and my boot/leathers received minor damage. If I hadn't been wearing good gear the injuries would have been much worse than just bruising on my shin and ankle. My neck still hurts, which I dont quite understand.

The good part - I didn't go down. That would have pissed me off as I haven't crashed on asphalt since 1993, even after hundreds of track days.

Another good part, the whole thing was filmed by several GoPro's. I had mine on and it caught a front wheel an instant before it hit me.


The student I was working with also had one. She was behind me and caught the whole thing: (Skip to 6:20 for the exciting part)


So its really not a big deal. Damage is minor and easy to fix, T-Bone'er already offered to pay for damages done to T-Bone'ee.

Let all learn from this and make the next track day safer and more fun.

Shaun.

Wow man! Glad no one got hurt

[El Diabro]

Well I had a blast Saturday!!!!

[El Diabro]

glad no one got hurt in that incident

[Blizzard_1708]

So glad no one got hurt. Hate seeing anyone go down, especially one of our own, or in this case, two of our own.

[DarcShadow]

Damn he came flying in there. I know everyone was slowing down for the turn so that made him look even faster, but that look really really fast.

[WillK675]

Wow, Glad everyone is ok.

[2track]

Glad you guys are alright. That was very fast.

There's a cool shot of striple, fixxer, and me rolling onto the track together:

His face looks tiny inside that helmit.

There's a bunch of trouble makers. And no, Dave, that does not count as your 4th Meatball ride.

I see a ride leader and 3 other members...

[DarcShadow]

Was Hart himself out there Saturday? It was some other guy for us on Sunday, and after looking through the photos, I can kind of tell. Good shots, but just not quite at the same level as Blare does.

I also think I've figured out why I'm never touching knee anymore. Most of the photos I have pretty good form, I'm off the bike an everything, I just don't have me knee swung way out, looks like I keeping it just a bit closer then others, but not so close as to be wrong. That makes me feel a little better, I was wondering if I had screwed up my form some how cause I'm rarely draggin knee any more. I think I may of actually improved my form, and I'm not hanging completely off the side of the bike like I have done at times in the past.

GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY!

Blizz, you didnt tell me THAT happened! Glad both of you are OK!

[NickS]

Whoa! Glad nobody was seriously hurt in that round of bumper bikes. Was that a certain rhino-coated 250?

[Rhino]

Yeah. The rhino liner came out pretty much ok.

[Meat of Snail]

Yes, that probably was a certain rhino coated 250. I am going to put together a short article for RideSmart Dave as to the full story of what lead to that event (to which I am NOT proud of). This is something that Dave will be able to use as a testimonial of what NOT to do at a track day. I will share when it is put together.

[Rhino]

MoS, I'm proud of you man. While the crash was certainly nothing to be proud of, you've handled it well and it's cool that you're willing to offer it up as a teaching tool.

[Striple]

MoS, I'm proud of you man. While the crash was certainly nothing to be proud of, you've handled it well and it's cool that you're willing to offer it up as a teaching tool.

[El Diabro]

Glad you're okay, and it would be good to see what your vantage point was on why this all happened.
