SJC1000rr Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Sunday did not go as planned in my C Superbike race. Front end didn't want to stay down on start and the quickshift was giving me fits. Need to make the timing a bit longer. Anyways, it was a 3 way battle for 3rd place in the race with us trading off until the guy on the kawi spun the rear up and lowsided. I was dazed and had my breath knocked out along with being instantly sore. The other guys bike ended up on top of mine which is what fubared my bike more. As for me, I noticed my left pinky wasn't feeling right and looked at it with my gloves off and found it sticking outwards dislocated. Went to EMS and they said they couldn't do it by law so I had the gf set it straight at the track which hurt like hell. Dr. says it still has spiral fracture of middle bone an possible tendon damage. Also have a fractured tailbone which makes life fun. Looked over the bike mostly to see whats junked, and it looks like both rearset brackets bent, right clip-on snapped, right brake lever snapped, upper+tail bodywork blown out/smashed, Quickshift rod bent, Subframe tray broke/possible tweaked subframe, helmet, gloves and minor bolts etc. And left rearset top bolt bracket on the frame snapped off, so I have to find a aluminum welder to fill it back in and redrill/tap it...or get a new frame Called Mid-Ohio PTR about it all and they worked with me and credited me for the day and will reschedule for another day! Great ppl there for sure and I look forward to healing up and finally getting back out.Crash at 9:12http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQPsZ47nxA Edited June 6, 2011 by SJC1000rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Oh man, that looks brutal. Did you hit the other guy's bike or him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I ran over him, he said his back is really sore today. The bikes went flying and his landed on top of mine on the left side somehow. Green paint all over the tail, which is what I think broke the frame/rearset bracket.

SJC1000rr Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Looks like I might be down for a lot longer then I hoped as it looks like the frame is tweaked/bent also. The throttle cables, housing, stop/start switch and front end bearings need replaced also. Due to lack of fundage, not sure what I'm gonna do with the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
