I stopped by to see him last night and asked why he forgot his PIT CREW - ME. Well that's when he told me about the wreck. He is ok just SORE all over. The bike has a bent axle. He will be sore but ok in a few days. I heard he flipped the quad three times and he came to stop up against the berm.

The sport gains attention by people like you and the others on this forum that participate in these races. It all looks like fun a stuff from the sidelines but it's dangerous and very hard. You have to be in good shape to race quads. Kudos to all.

#13 white Z. Theoriginalsurfer? I saw you ride, your good. Keep at it. You'll have 10 chances at victory next year. BR>
Please do post that video when you can Cory. Glad your doing ok.

Later,
David

I took the holeshot in moto 1 with #37 following and won. There was a huge gap between myself and #37 to 3rd place. Then in moto 2, I almost looped out on the start and had to let off to bring it back down. I saw everyone go wide, so I cut underneath and moved into third in the first turn. Then first place pushed second place into my front end causing the bike to launch me off and it did three flips. I landed on my butt cheek into the embankment which left a seven inch diameter bruise. Mainly only a bent axle on the bike. Sucks too because a win would have given me first or second for the series. Oh well, next year.

By the way, one of the guys got it on tape and I will get it posted as soon as I get my hands on it. I wish I had a better moto 2 for you, but thanks for all of the pics anyways. Guys like you get the sport attention.
