Bounce Stickboy Bounce

Well...for all of those who haven't heard...Stickboy was the Turn 3/4 crash on the cool down lap during the V7 race Sunday at VIR.

We started out leaving Columbia, SC Thursday afternoon and heading to Talladega, AL (5 1/2 hours). We then left Talladega Saturday after half way through the Endurance race so we could head to VIR (8 hours). Then drove home Sunday evening back to Columbia, SC (5 1/2 hours).

After our long journey to VIR we get everything setup (looked as if our trailer hurled and our stuff just got tossed out)

We wait on the red flag situation ( I really hope that has a happy ending, it was pretty bad)

Derek goes out, runs his race, with some interesting passing and stuff, and comes in second in his race!

During the cool down lap his chain breaks and he runs over it. Not to good since it spit him on his head and rolled him around in the dirt some.

He is really sore but moving around slowly. Ankle, hip and elbow took the worst hits. We haven't even looked at the bike but to load it in the truck. The body work is trashed, but I think everything else may be OK.

I want to thank everyone who helped me get our things/Derek loaded up! You know who you are since I don't think I can remember all the names that go with the faces.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!

HONEY


PS - I want the thank the VERY nice lady that was pitted across from us that gave me the medication for him! IT WORKED!!! I drove home in PEACE!!!

Tell him to heal up so he can continue to change my tires!

And tell him next time the bike handles better when he isn't standing up on the pegs waving to the crowd..


Congrats on the second...

Tell Derek to take it easy so he can get ready for CMP next weekend. Give him lot's of bed baths and he'll do fine!

Tim

PS: Did you ship my tire?

The first thing he asked was "are you changing tires next weekend?" I told him I'd get him a stool to sit on.

I also told him the old guys don't bounce like the younger ones do. mearly a suggestion.

I think he felt left out since I crashed in Saturday's practice on my mini at Talladega. You know the old I can do it better than you can! Well let me tell you...My bike crashed much better than his!

Bed baths!!! More like bed bugs! HE is such a baby! I had no idea that guys did pain this bad. Of course I should have known after having to hold his hand while taking him to the doctor for a sinus infection a few years back. I'm sure this will be just as bad.



And I did get your tire sent out, it might have gone out Friday or today. I'll check and let you know!!

Wellllll.......I must say that mine slid on wet grass, of course it had me under it as the foot peg was stuck in my leg. But at least he got thrown clear. I think mine would be cheaper to fix also. Well maybe not since it is a YSR.

All in all, we both limped home (like all true racers should, so I've been told by those who limp home on occasion) and everything is fine.

Thanks for the offer, be careful what you offer though, he may take you up on it!

I apologize for my earlier ridicule, but it seriously looked like he was too wrapped up in waving to the crowd and just lost it going around turn 4. I meant no disrespect - I hope stick's okay...

He's really OK. Well, as OK as he can be for those of you who know him.

He thought it was funny that you called him your HERO. He didn't take it the wrong way I promise! He never takes anything to seriously, here especially!
