Absolutely agree with you Caboose56. In fact, we spoke with the Marshals and Manager about that very point. Clearly it's a recurring problem on a track day with 2 accidents, 2 weeks apart. I'm only a novice and I'm doing 170 klm around turn 2. The thought of someone hitting me at that speed...
Good news, the other rider broke his neck and his femur in 2 places. Surgeons fused him back together. He can move his toes now. Physio is going to be hell and very very long. Hope he has a full recovery
People are just crazy!!! If you can't pass someone on the outside then don't do it. Inevitably, they always think to do it on the inside!!! ... never, ever a good idea. Just heard from the Toronto rider with the broken collar bone. It was a long, tough drive for him, but he made it home safe...
Similar crash this past weekend at Jennings. Same place, turn 2, two bikes collided. The Toronto rider suffered a broken collar bone and bruises. The other rider took a chopper ride to Gainesville trauma centre. When he left he was paralyzed from the waist down. Not sure of his situation now
Just heard from a new friend (met her the last time at Jennings) was in a terrible accident at Jennings today and was air lifted to hospital. Irocian, what happened?
Driving out February 26 (2 day trip) - arrive latter part of day Feb 27th - set up at track - DaysInn Hotel in Lake Park ($55/night if you call directly and ask for Jennings GP rate) - ride for 3 days (Feb 28, Mar 1,2) - drive back Mar 3,4
Started riding in 1987 on a dare from a friend, she had started the year before. Said she would tour Europe with me if we did it on motorcycles. Got my licence in April '87. By July I was in Europe for 3 months touring ... what was I thinking as a newb rider??? Definitely a trip to remember...
