    It is very bad luck i got tangled in the mix of two bikes coming together in the middle of the track. I took the outside line hoping to be safe, but a bike struck another bike causing the bike to take me out on the outside. I just wanted to let everyone know i had a sore shoulder, two broke ribs, and a sore head from hitting the ground. After spending the night in the hospital for my injuries i came back to watch some racing on Sunday. I want to congradulate Jeff Agnes on his wins and i appreciate all the guys stopping by my pit to see how i was doing. Accidents happen and it really means alot for all the guys to ask how i was doing. It sure was fun up until the time i crashed..............i will see all you guys as soon as i get better .......... good luck and i hope everyone stays safe............JOHN PELPHREY 185

    Hey John, I heard about your crash. That sucks, I guess we all take that risk though. I hope your ribs heal up well, as for your head, anything that looks like that should hurt:D . Sorry, No more jokes, I know laughter hurts broken ribs. I guess this means no Mid-O. You should come up anyway, we'll party pretty hard thursday night, I have a good feeling about the races there, and Friday is AMA Pro-practice. Sounds like Jeff was on rails, I guess he came from 3rd row wave 2, to get 2nd in his solo:eek: . Then he backed it up with a couple wins. I think he's triing to make me nervous for Mid-O:D . Anyhow, I hope you heal quickly, and get back, to the racetrack.:beer:

    I'm glad to hear that you are ok. I'm the guy that crashed with you.
    Sorry that we got tangled up. The guy on my inside drifted a little and took my front end out.
    I ended up with a cracked wrist. Hope you get better.

    thanks for the message RC

    I just chalked this one up as racing at it's best and i understand accidents happen. I just would rather be watching them instead of being in them. I should be ready to race next month at Putnam Park in the North Central. I wish you well with your recovery...............i think you said your wrist is hurt, and to wish you well.................Pelphrey 185

    Hey John thanks for the kudos up above bro! Glad to hear you're not too banged up to post on the BBS :D

    Hope all is well.
