I spoke with Darrel's daughter a couple of times today. He's off the vent and is resting uncomfortably at Aurora Medical Center in room 407. He was airlifted off the track yesterday with broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a broken clavicle.
She has passed along best wishes from his extended family here at the CSC.

I am sure everyone wishes him a speedy recovery!!!!

We were wondering why the track went cold for so long. I had come off the track, got out of my leathers, and was BSing with some friends when they made the announcement that HW/Open Endurance was only going to run 20 minutes, but we didn't know why until later. I'm glad he's relatively ok. Turn 4 is a fast one.

I was taking photos at Turn 13 when the crash occurred. When the track went cold for so long I knew it must've been serious - and then the helicopter showed up. I had just met Darrel that morning in the pits, while walkin' around with Jason.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery!

Glad he is doing okay. His bike was a mess.

I have no idea what happened? I was coming back around the track and saw a bunch of dust off of turn 4. As I got there the yellow flag was out but I didn't even see his bike. He must have really flown of the track?

What a crazy day. BadR6man (I think thats right?) went down right in front of me going in to turn 5. I had to dodge between him and his bike as they both went sliding across the track in front of me. :shock: Then 2 laps later this happened.

Speedy recovery Darrel. Thoughts are with you brother. I was taking photos from T1 and saw the cloud of dust. It wasn't until I walked past his bike that I found out it was him. Definitely a sick feeling seeing the life flight chopper fly in. Anyone know if his truck and trailer needs to be moved or driven home?

Snowman

The word from the corner working in turn 4 was that he over shot turn 4 and was on the rear break going into the dirt, where he thinks Darrel grabbed too much front brake and threw himself over the front. Then the bike landed on him.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah it was me sliding on my back like a turtle.
I was on the crash chariot on my way back to tech my bike when news on the radio of his incident happened. His injuries sounded more serious than mine (I'm fine).

Gary and I went to see him today at the hospital. If that's what taking it to the track looks like, I'll just keep riding slow. He coughed a bit and it looked excruciating! I'm sure he won't ask for anyone's help but will need plenty when he finally gets out. Chest tube was still in and he was still on oxygen, so in spite of his wishful thinking yesterday he didn't go anywhere today.

If he had done this on the street, he'd be in a lot worse shape. The track is the safest place to ride. No ditches, trees, cliffs, guardrails, rv's, sand, potholes, paint, deer, oncoming traffic, trucks, intersections, etc.

Accidents happen on the track, just like on the street. There are a hundred times more injuries and fatalities riding on the street than there are on the track. This is the first time in over 10 years the MRA has had to medivac a rider from an event. The same can't be said for the frequency it's occurred with accidents on the street. Yes, the track isnt for everyone but for those that want to push their limits (and their bikes) it is the best place. Darrel was my student this past weekend and I do feel awful about what occurred. But I am glad that it happened in a controlled environment with EMT's immediately available rather than out on some mountain road.
Life's too short to sit back and try to always play it safe. I am going to a funeral this morning for my co-worker. He had a heart attack earlier this week at age 41. You never know when it's your time so you gotta live life a little.

To echo what Jim said, I have found racing has made me a much more conservative street rider. Once you get used to riding without so many outside variables the street becomes very intimidating.

It is all in your perspective, I encourage those who have never been on the track to try it at least once. Best place to learn what a sportbike can truly do with far less risk.

Exactly right. Not only are there less inherent risks at the track in the first place, when something DOES go wrong you get virtually instant, qualified medical attention. I was on scene in less than 60 seconds, the ambulance was less than 60 seconds after that.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Amen to what Jim stated. While accidents do happen on the track and on the street, Its an inherent risk that we accept willfuly and knowingly when we swing a leg over our bikes. The professionalism of the cornerworks, crew and medical staff as well as the MRA as a whole is without parallel. Thier professionalism and dedication allows me to take it to the track secure in the knowledge that Ill be in good hands should an accident happen. Time and time again, the skills and knowledge learned at the track have saved my life on the street. Once again, prayers and wishes for a quick recovery.

That is the Drama right there! In my opinion you dont know what you are talking about in that statement. As many others have pointed out the track is a much safer place to be then the streets. Keep riding "slow" maybe a car wont hit you.That is something that OBD wanted and many more of us love to do.

For you to say "If that's what taking it to the track looks like, I'll just keep riding slow" in a thread talking about his accident was in poor taste. Most of the drama on the CSC is caused by people typing things without thinking and typing things they would not say in person.

Clearly you were not in the hospital room when we he was showing me the huge purple bruise down his side and I said "If that's what taking it to the track looks like" (re:his injuries) and added "I'll keep riding slow" which is a comment about ME! I don't have the skill or nuts required to go to the track and likely never will. Darrel often suggests that I come out and give it a try. I admire that HE has the skill and desire. Anyone that rides with me knows how slow I am. How many times do people say 'ride your own ride', yet when I make a comment about 'my ride' the drama kicks in to high? How was picking on myself misconstrued into a personal attack on all racers and turned in to such a cluster? On second thought, don't answer that. I don't care. It was suggested that I clarified the context around my original comment.

Foolishly I assumed thoughts on this thread should be good thoughts and concern directed to a rider who is recovering. I must have lost my mind thinking I could get away with such a positive sentiment here.

I can't speak for the others, but I understood that your comment applied to yourself and not the rest of us. That doesn't make it any less incorrect, we're just doing a poor job of explaining WHY we feel it's incorrect.

I think the misunderstanding here is that you're making the assumption that riding on the track is about nothing more than riding as fast as possible. Nothing could be further than the truth. When you talk about 'ride your own ride', the same thing applies to the track. We all do our own thing, and ride only to the level that each of us feels comfortable. I've seen riders out here of every skill level imaginable from Jakub Smrz all the way down to the person who has only a couple hundred miles under their belt.

The point is that the track is absolutely the best place to learn. Whether you are literally throwing a leg over for the first time in your life, or you've put half a million miles on various bikes - you WILL learn something EVERY time you do a track day. Those things that you learn will make you a better, safer rider on the street.

Will you go faster? Absolutely! As your skills improve you will naturally pick up the pace - at a rate that is comfortable for you. So, while going faster isn't necessarily the GOAL of a trackday, it is an almost certain side effect of you developing your own skills and learning more about what your bike is actually capable of. This second part is the key. Whether it's motorcycles or cars, I know for a fact that a high percentage of traffic accidents today are completely unnecessary simply because the VEHICLE was capable of braking or turning or doing whatever would be needed to avoid the accident, but the DRIVER has no idea that the vehicle has such abilities. The more you find out about what your vehicle is capable of, the safer you are. The track is the best place to learn the capabilities of both you and your machine.

To put it in perspective - just a few weeks ago I gave a track tour to a local police department that will be doing training out here this summer. As part of that, I took the departments lead instructor for a few laps in one of their department Caprices. After the ride was over he literally told me "I had no idea these cars could go that fast around a track." And this is coming from a guy who is probably no slouch behind the wheel. On the other hand, there is undoubtedly dozens of drivers that could take that same car and drive it faster than I did. No matter WHO you are, there's always something to be learned. The track is the best place to do it.

Thanks for the update June. Am also wondering if maybe so many of us visiting is making it harder for him too :( While I understand that he was getting a bit bored, it can be crazy tiresome to feel you need to "entertain" your visitors. As opposed to getting well needed rest.

I spoke to him last week and after hearing how much trouble he had talking I decided to wait to visit him until he gets out of the hospital. I'm sure he will need help around the house, drives to doctor appointments, etc... and company when he feels a little bit better.

update from Darrel's daughter from last night:

"I went to see him this afternoon and he's still in the ICU. They took the tube out of his throat while I was there. It seemed like he could barely move though because he's so weak. It's very difficult to see him like that.

Anyway, he has to stay in the ICU for at least another 24 hours so he might not be put back into a regular room until Thursday morning depending on what the doctor's say.
I think he would feel more up to visitors once he's back in a regular room again.

Thanks again for your concern and I'll let you know more when I can."

I guess I should posted sooner. I haven't been on any boards lately. I've been home for 3 weeks and doing well. Shoulder, ribs, and lung are healing fine. Still sore with limited movement. I couldn't take sitting home doing nothing, so after talking to HR, I've gone back to work part time on light duty.
Went out yesterday on the baby Ninja for about an hour. I was a feared and nervous the first time out, but I had to get back on that horse. Felt damm good thou(worse than an drug addication). Baby step for now, slow and close to home. I've started collecting parts to put the CBR back together. Hopefully I will be out before the season ends. Want to say sorry to everyone at the track for bringing the day to an halt.
Thanks to all that stop by to visit. All the positive thoughts from CSC and MRA really help me heal faster.
To every rider, please remember to be safe and ride your on pace.
thanks obd
