I'm in... wait, i guess i was a little late letting you know.

Congrats on your finishes Clint.

I ran some different classes this time to try things out.

I ran A superbike/superstock, B Superstock, C Superstock. Got a 4th in A superbike, 2nd in C superstock, 2nd in A superstock and crashed out of B superstock. I was leading the CSS race until the last turn when my danos quickshifter didnt want to go into next gear. when it finally did I had a Provisional Novice sneak around me and win the race.

I crashed in the left hander on the back section before heading down the hill. I was in third behind McQuigg but i stuggled to pass the expert infront of me. When i finally did I knew I had to make up alot of time, so i was pushing harder... maybe too hard. I lost the front in the middle of the turn and the bike slid on track until it hit the dirt and she flipped. I am ok and my bike is not too bad. i am lucky/happy that I am ok.

I am looking for a subframe, tank, clipons, and other stuff for a 06-07 R6R... if anyone has anything let me know.

Glad to hear you're okay Tom. I didn't know you went down until I had already arrived back home and checked my Facebook. Of course I was in a hurry to get back home and rest, as I too had an off. Actually my first one! Those darn experts!

I had just made a pass in 14? (the right at the top of the hill) and was hammering, also trying to catch Thomas. I was flying through 16 and felt a little too fast and perhaps a tad off-line. I tried to barely touch the front brake, (one finger, just to the point I could feel the lever apply the push rod into the master cylinder, then bang!, down on my right side, sliding towards the edge of the track at nearly 90 mph.

I attempted to put out my arms to keep from rolling on the asphalt, which worked, but then I caught the grass. I tumbled once and then rolled twice but was able to get back up and pick up the bike. I should have went to tech quickly and got back out there to salvage points, but didn't think about that at the time. As it stands, I'm 5 points behind in HWTSS and 16 behind in HWTSB. It's really gonna take quite a bit to get even again in superbike with only 4 races left!

There's really not that much damage to mine or me for that matter. I went out on Sunday and got two second places in the HWT races, but lost five seconds per lap.

Not sure if the link will work or not. John Greer got me on his GoPro going down in 17.

You guys were really moving out there. Did you just lose the front end?
