Ok race fans.
I hurt, I hurt all over now…
Friday night during testing Maverick tried to kill me again. This time I went down hard, I don’t remember most of it as I was knocked out for just a few moments.
(I remember my helmet hitting the asphalt and a quick thought that I was likely hurt rather badly. As a side note, the new helmet had barely a scratch the quality helmet probably saved a more serious injury.)
First thing I remember was being scared ****less at the visage of Shaun Brewington staring at me through my face shield. LOL
However my left shoulder, back left ribs, front left sternum, and left hip felt like I was run over by several big trucks at once.
The bike actually sustained less damage, and the track officials stood up my bike and I was able to ride it back to the trailer. Before the pain set in for real, I think I was in temporary shock.
I have to thank Jacob Trent and Shaun Brewington for helping me get the bikes loaded. Also both of their families for showing great concern for my well being, this meant more than they know.
On to today’s race.
Good day, solid reaction times and Roxanne was her normal consistent self, I’d say the high light of the day was defeating Andrew Patterson, after all, to be “the man” you have to beat “the man” and he has always been on of the strongest competitors around.
Any way, as long as I stayed moving, I felt passible and I was very blessed and fortunate to continue and win the whole race!
Now that I’m home I cannot hardly move, aches are coming around that I didn’t notice, and getting up from the couch is an adventure…
My right foot started hurting and I guess it took a hit too. Sigh.
I hope I have a few more pictures later of our day. But I have a few now.
Special shout out to Chris Moore for sponsoring this class, it’s nice to have somewhere reasonably close to race.
Also Dustin Lee with Hardtimes Parts and Service I tried to get the shirt in the picture.
