I highsided in turn12 at nelson ledges on Saturday and I would like to thank the individuals who helped me off the track.....I don't remember anything before the ambulance so I don't know what I was saying or what was going on but I did here that some people were fined for pulling me off the track....Sorry for any problems that it caused you but please be sure that you have my deepest thanks. One of the guys pushed my bike back to the pits and helped my friend with me load the trailer at warp speed so he could follow the ambulance. It was his first time coming to the races so he and I are both very grateful for your help. There is also a great guy named Alan Sprocket who is a member of the local police at Nelson Ledges who I met briefly in the pits before my crash and then saw the next time at the hospital. Just came by to see how I was and then returned in unform to escort us to the pharmacy for some much needed pain killers. I don't know how to thank you enough Alan. You went out of your way to help out a stranger witch means that you are a perfect example of what the racing community needs to be filled with. And it seems as though it is, considering two other complete starngers risked there own well being,money,and racing liscences to drag me out of the danger zone while I laid incoherent on the track.....As for me, a broken collarbone,some serouis bruising, and a wadded up bike means I'm out of the saddle probably till VIR the end of July. But I do hope to meet the guys who pulled me off and have some fun with my new fellow 125 pilot, Alan Sprocket. Anyone who saw the crash please respond and give me your input as I am trying to figure out what happened... I think I messed up my downshift count and dumped the clucth into 1st instead of 2nd. Whoever picked up the bike may remember what gear it was in so please reply if you read this. Once agian thanks to all who were involved including the ambulance guys who were also very considerate and helpful. So for now it's time to heal and sit back knowing that the guys and gals I race with are the greatest people on this planet we call home. A very grateful 125 guy, Matthew Hughes
