Hey Sean, heard about what happened at Willow...how you doing man? BTW...this is dave..met you at the January Vegas race...where I crashed on the Saturday Solo20...
Um.. let's just say he got hit by a guy speeding around on a quad in the pits! Busted him up pretty good. And NO.. it wasn't me.. I wasn't even there.
He's doing. Sean's a tough guy and a cool guy to be around at the track. Super friendly and willing to help out anyone. I think he joked about only having one limb left that was fully organic. Hahaha. He'll rehab and be back soon. -r.
WSMC has a 5 mph rule in the pits. Race bikes, pit bikes, bicycles, skateboards. And I've seen race officials go gangster on racers who violate that rule. They've forced racers to apologize to the people they've nearly hit. I'm still pissed off about the little shit that pinned the throttle on his minibike and cut me off in the pits at Fontana in January. That little get-off cost me about $500, and I've still got a busted fender. Given everything else that happened that day, it wasn't the worst possible outcome - although if I found him again, I'd strangle him. But stupid pit bike incidents can be serious. Sean, get better soon. If you ride a pit bike, be aware.
Hey Dave, Sean, Doug, Ron, Bones, et al Thanks for the kind words. Dont want to go into details but got taken out in the pits walking. Knee got busted up pretty bad, full dislocation of the knee, torn ACL, MCL, LCL, lateral meniscus, broken tibia, and fibula...first surgery is out of the way and looking like another in July....I will bust my ass to rehab and try to make the Fontana round, but long-term health will superceed my wants. Trying to make arrangements to spectate button and miller, gotta show support -Sean
Wow. Holy shit wow. Long term health for sure with a knee is the main goal. We'll be racing when it's healed properly
If you show up at Miller Sean be sure to stop on by the pits. I'll most likely get a golf cart to move around the corners to shoot the weekend and you are welcome to ride along with me.
