  1. Finally the mystery is solved. I'm the guy that went down and I still haven't been able to remember what happened. I guess that "went down face first between 130-140 mph" will do that. It was a great day up until that. For those interested, I was relatively unscathed. Broken pelvis and a few vertebrae plus a nasty concussion. The bike on the other hand.....it was a great ride. If you see a guy slowly getting around on crutches at the AMA race this weekend at Mid-Ohio, stop and say hi. Thanks and be safe out there!

    Glad to hear, all things considered, that you weren't more seriously injured and you are up and around. That was the NASTIEST spill I have ever seen! It was kind of weird to see how violent your bike reacted to the impact when the rider you made contact with didn't so much as wiggle.

  2. Was looking for pictures and just now stumbled across this thread. If you guys are still curious the accident happened right in front of me, so I saw exactly what happened. The guy that went down was set up a little too far to the left going through the kink down the back straight. Another rider, that was going quite a bit faster than the guy who went down, was behind him on the inside, with plenty of distance between them, and was holding a nice line through the kink. The rider that went down REALLY cut across as he came through the kink, and because the guy that was behind him on the inside was going so much faster, he didn’t see him until it was too late and ran his front wheel right into the passing rider’s rear wheel. Knocked the bike right out from under the rider and he went down face first between 130-140 mph. Haven’t heard anything since that day. Hope he is doing ok, anybody know?
