I got caught up in a crash!!7/7/07
Hey everyone...I crashed at the Welland motorcycle club this past saturday.....It was in the 450 nov class on my 250 and I was in 3rd place out of 13...Trying to get passed 2nd place.... when on lap number four #26 that was in 2nd place hit the guy's rear tire that was in 1st place #08...... He started to slide out, but then his rear tire came back and hit my front tire really hard and fast ..... I got thrown off my bike really fast, I didnt have any time to try and save it.....Came down from being in the air and landed right on my butt, slid for a while and came pretty close to hitting the wall.......Once I finally stopped I just laid on the side of the track.....My butt hurt so bad......After a few seconds went by they stopped the race and my dad and mom came out on the track, to make sure I was ok and helped me up...Luckily I was wearing my Cool Skunk leathers...I got to try them out..lol...They worked great...I got back to my bike that had been taken off the track and saw that the front end was a little messed up and the stabilizer mount that goes on the frame was bent ......The officials came over and said that they had called the race and I was done, so I was happy about that...But then about a minute latter they changed there mind and said they were now going to re-start the race........So I had to go back out and race.....We tryed to fix my stabilizer mount but couldnt really get it back to the way it waz...... I got back on and went back on the track........I wanted to go back out and race......They did a single file start and put me in the 3rd to last spot.....There was 13 riders all together.......So I was pretty much screwed by that point......I only had 4 laps to get back up to were I was before...... I did work my way up to 8th place.........It was a great night before my crash!! My butt is still pretty sore....But I will be ready for this weekend....I'm off to Batavia Motorspeedway in Batavia, NY on Thursday night, Friday at the Monroe County fair in Rochester, NY, Saturday at the Welland motorcycle club in Welland On. and then Sunday at the Crusaders TT track.......I hope I can get some great resultz and have a bunch of fun....I will get some pics for sure.....Wish me luck!! Thanx!! Oh and if you'd like to see the pics of my crash go to my photos section on my site.....They are really sweet!!
