Good news is Kim ran 1:30 today for a best time. And the pit bike race went very well even though I crashed.:laughing
Bad news. Kim tucked the front going into turn 1 today in the GTO (am) race. And any guess what corner I was working? Yep turn 1. Scared the hell out of us when she didnt move for about 20sec. she got up groggy and walked with help behind the tire wall. Apparently she dislocated her shoulder and popped it back in and is fine otherwise. Bike broke teh body, upper fairing stay, clutch resevoir, clutch and brake levers, left rearset and realinged the pipes. The GTO (am) was a crashfest. We had 3 bikes crash in turn 1 alone. One even got applause from the spectators. He got bumped off the track and did a Mark into the bush but he flipped over the bars and landed on his feet. There was about 9 bikes that went down in that race alone. Also had to medi-vac a guy from the Formula 40 race in turn 3. The care center was full and they had to start treating people in the tower.
The pitbike race almost never happened. All teh medical crews left after the last race.:mad Luckily some spectators were licensed EMTs and offered their services to us so we could go on with the races.
