    At Nashville? Turn 2, 2nd practice session, Sunday, lap 1.
    It was my frist track crash ever, and first roadracing crash at that! Not to mention my first time to go down on the road bike since I lost my arm.
    Oh and to those of you who saw it...how did it look? It felt like it looked cool. I bet the looks on your faces were priceless.
    Oh and thanks to those of you who stopped by to make sure I was ok, and to Joe Barton for the replacement footpeg, and Dwane who had one but unfortunately it didnt work. Good times, one for my memory books (maybe record book too, we'll see)

    Yeah I'm good Porky, and yeah, I'm sure she came close. Thank God she didnt actually see it lol. The first thing I did was look at the crowd to make sure she wasnt there. She wasnt but I did see Ed Bargy.... wondered what he was thinking, but never got a chance to ask him. I'm sure he'll tell me what he saw at the GNF

    Did you get that bike running again, or did you have to use the backup bike?

    I guess I could have bumped him. That was a new bike to me. I had only been on it for about 10 laps when that happened. Maybe I put it in reverse by accident as I was pulling away.

    When you have that tire warmer discussion, also talk about the fact he want's to run tires untill the cords show.

    doesn't that make them heat up faster? ;)

    They do build heat as they slide across the ground, but only if they stay in contact with the pavement. If they come off the ground, the bodywork tends to build the heat.

    Why...did he run into the back of you?

    I figure he had a good 12-13 miles an hour on you.
