Please keep Clarkie in your thoughts

[rybo]

Clarkie had a big crash at PPIR today and is in the hospital in Colorado Springs. He is stable at this time. In the interest of privacy I'd rather let his family post up any further info about his condition.

Please keep him in your thoughts over the coming days and weeks.

[Wahooman]

Aaron my friend....thinking of you and praying harder. Not good news at all. Not the same without you to talk to in the pits. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery.
My parents called from Texas and also said to post up that they are praying for you non-stop. Mom wants a Clarkie hug!
Stay strong brother.

[GNGSXR]

I've met Clarkie a few times in Pueblo and he is honestly one of the friendliest racers out there. Always willing to have a talk with you in the pits and give some tips to a first year noob.
i hope he heals up quick.

does anyone know where at PPIR he went down? or what happened to cause the crash?

[COS Mille]

Best Wishes, heal quickly.

[konichd]

As a way to do my part to help a racer in need, I am going to donate 10% of whatever is made from the track day photos at PPIR to www.getwellclarkie.com (http://www.getwellclarkie.com). It may not be a lot, but every little bit helps . . .

Best wishes on a speedy recovery!!!

[irdave]

Brief update from Scooter. Condition is same as last night. So no news is good news.

[suzinpink]

oh this sucks...
get better, heal up... we're praying for you Clarkie

[racedk6]

Get well soon Clarkie,

Fay Myers would also like to help out, we have a donation area on our site as well.

[rybo]

The Red Flag Fund has gotten involved. They are a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting injured racers. Check out their site at:

[irdave]

He breathes on his own!!!! I'll see him tonight. Check the site: www.getwellclarkie.com

Betting against Clarkie is akin to betting against Rossi... I wouldn't do it.

[MetaLord 9]

GREAT NEWS!!! Heal up soon, Clarkie!!!

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

I'm prayin for you & your family Aaron. Heal up quick

[Sortarican]

Clarkie is an inspiration to all the racers, riders, and fans of the sport.
I'm praying he heals up as fast as he rides.

[rybo]

A quick update for those not following the getwellclarkie.com website

The docs woke Aaron up for a short time yesterday. He opened his eyes and was able to respond to verbal stimulus. When asked he was able to raise his eyebrow and raise 2 fingers.

This is fantastic progress, but he's not out of the woods yet. There is a long long recovery ahead and he needs all the support we can give him. Please check out the auctions if you can't afford to donate directly. There is some amazing stuff being donated and all the proceeds are going directly to Aaron.

That is great news, my best goes out to Clarkie and his family. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Best of luck Clarkie!!! Get well soon!!!

I never met the man but from what I've heard Clarkie is a wonderful person!

I happend to be by the shop today and was talking to Eric at SoCo BMW/Ducati (Now Harley by the way). He was looking for someone who could print up some posters and pass them out. Anyone here know someone that knows someone?

[Bat]

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery - hang in there.

[*GSXR~SNAIL*]

TTT...

Just a reminder of a great guy dealing with some difficult circumstances. If you folks might even be able to donate what it takes to fill up the tank on your bike, that would really help out Aaron, Tedi, Scott and the rest of the family during this time. I'm only guessing that the medical bills are surely going to be very high.

Thanks again for any help you guys can provide.

[ghostrider_9]

Does anyone have any updates on his condition?

[rybo]

It's going to be a big day for Clarkie as the first of his surgeries is scheduled for today. He's been breathing on his own, is off of the sedatives (but still on pain meds) and the infection in his lungs is improving.

Also keep in mind Aaron's family as they keep watch over him.

[Suki]

I don't know clarkie but i wish him the best today and that everything goes well. :)

How fast do most professional racers go around turn 1 at PPIR?



My and Lanette's thoughts are with you and Tedi. Hang in there Aaron.

[Nick_Ninja]

The PBR cans were totally cold. Good times --- good folks. :up: I plan on landing on a ride there in the next couple of days and making another deposit.

[1ofTheBoys]

Marty took very good care of us and the PBR was definitely cold. It was great to know we were helping Clarkie and Tedi.

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Dunno if I said this before or not, but best of luck to him on a full and speedy recovery. My thoughts are with him and his family and frfiends.

[The GECCO]

How fast do most professional racers go around turn 1 at PPIR?

He was between 130 and 140 when the bike went down, probably 90ish when he hit the wall. The first figure I'm rather certain of, the second is a somewhat educated guess.

I've been first on scene for literally hundreds of MRA crashes and have seen some rather hairy stuff, but this was something I hope I never have to experience again.

Aaron, you're in my thoughts every day. Keep fighting.

[615HereICome]

Get Well Soon Clarkie!!!

[McVaaahhh]

The site is blocked here at my office. What's the scoop?

[chad23]

Just got a chance to read on Clarkie's update and it sound like things are getting better. Slowly but better. Our hopes are with him and his family. Keep up the good work

I'll see if I can make it. I haven't been yet, and I'd like to throw some good vibes and some funds Aaron's way. :up:

[ghostrider_9]

I am glad to hear he is making progress. I wish the beest for him and his family.

[Nick_Ninja]

12 Volt again?

Yep and the D-note accross the street has killer pie.

[1ofTheBoys]

Cool, just talked to Marty and he said it is ok to bring Amanda with me again so we will see you there.

[200sr20]

I should be there about 7

[Ceez]

Reading his updates breaks my heart, his family is struggling so much with him. I wish them all the best and a speedy and painless recovery to Aaron. You are in my prayers brother.

[*GSXR~SNAIL*]

As most of you probably know, Clarkie has made his way back to New Zealand. It appears things are improving for him and the team there are doing a heck of a job getting him going and attaining some goals during his recovery.

If you have a few minutes, visit his site by clicking on the signature below. Catch up on how he's doing. I'm sure he would love to hear from any of you and perhaps, wish him a happy holidays.

Take care,
Randy

[COS Mille]

Been checking it regularly. So good to see the pictures of him, he looks great. Christmas at home and a fresh beverage in hand, what could be better. Way to fight back to the front Clarkie, wouldn't expect anything less!

[UglyDogRacing]

For those of you who have not been checking on Clarkie's status regularly, he finally overcame a huge hurdle today. :applause:

Good news with Clarkie...he made his first post on www.getwellclarkie.com (http://www.getwellclarkie.com) recently and is getting better every day back in New Zealand. Check out the latest posts on how he's doing and check out the new 2009 MRA Race Season T-Shirt. Pretty nice looking.

Been talking to Clarkie lately and he is doing great. He is an inspiration to us all. Love the video of him walking.
