Thanks Jeff. Still need a lot of improvement, but nonetheless a day while worth doing

Thanks to the corner workers and paramedics for taking care of me after my front brake failed in the worst possible moment

.

Going down the hill there was no way I could stop that thing.

Broken colarbone was the result.

Up untill that it was a great day!
Thank you Scott!

Martin, glad you are okay buddy. Hope you heal up soon. To everyone that made it out there, thanks for making my trip out from Cali awesome. To my two students, you guys did awesome, it was great to meet you both and you are on your way to motorcycle stardom!!! Thanks again Chicane!

Thanks Jeff! I learned a lot yesterday

**rybo** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 08:17 AM

I want to take a minute and say "thank you" to everyone who came out and rode yesterday.

Everyone who broke Rule #1 seems to be OK - one will be staying a night or two in the hospital, but should be released on 'good behavior' pretty soon.

I hope that you all had a good time and will join us in 2012

Scott

**cptschlongenheimer** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 08:27 AM

Dang rule-breakers!
Seriously though, glad they're relatively OK.

The wife and I agreed that getting paid to watch some proper (and a little improper) riding technique was a great way to spend the holiday. Nice meeting those we got a chance to and we'll catch up with more of you next time.

**Mother Goose** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 08:34 AM

Good times yesterday. Thanks to Scott for putting this on (Rybo never came out to say hi though

), the cornerworkers, Scer for bringing my bike out, Applehans for sharing a car port with me and switching my tires at the end of the day, Keith Eastin for taking the time to show me some new lines and help me out, Kristin for being the best pit bitch ever!! and all the riders for giving Marc and I something to take pictures of!

**Vellos** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 08:41 AM

Wicky kept giving me the finger.

**InlineSIX24** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 08:47 AM

Scott - if you could just keep the temperature cooler like that for future track days that would be perfect.

Was it Marc that went down at the end? Take it he's going to be Ok?

Then why does he smell like #2?

**Mother Goose** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 09:06 AM

Hopefully the picture of me telling Marc he's #1 in turn 11 came out good.

Yeah, it was Marc. He's at University Hospital. 7 broken ribs and a broken scapula. Just talked to Monica and they are trying to easy the pain with meds right now. Sucks, because there isn't much you can do with broken ribs.

I'm taking a half day off today to do some running around for him, then Kris and I will go see them tonight.

Crap dude, that sucks. I thought that was his bike they pulled back in, and then I saw the ambulance go out of HPR so I figured it wasn't pretty. Broken ribs do suck, I've had my share, but I'm glad that's all it was.

Yeah, went from frigid to acceptable unlike the June one with 102* temps...

Oh and thanks to you & C-Fed for keeping the day interesting.

**Slo** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 09:42 AM

Scott (Rybo), knowing how you are, don't let the rule breakers get you down. Things do happen no matter what you say or how you try and prevent them. I don't think anything could have been done any better for your trackday.

You and Ralph put on a good & safe trackday for everyone, as safe as it can be, it is afterall a racetrack.

I was at turn 4 all day and you guys/gals looked great going through there!!!

**usmcab35** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 10:06 AM

Great times scott! It was my first time to HPR and quite a eventful one! Had a blast watching everyone coming in hot into turn 1, and talking to some while I was waiting to send the next groups out. After that day, i realized i need to talk the wife into a track bike, or get rid of the busa and get something more track friendly... Hope i can come out there again soon!

**Young Luke** · Tue Sep 6th, 2011, 10:36 AM

Another awesome Chicane Track Day! Thanks to everyone involved in putting it on! I had a blast learning and getting faster; and seeing everyone else having fun.

Sorry to see a few broken bikes and people, hope everyone heals up and gets back riding quickly. So glad we're all provided with such a top notch safety team. Worth 10x the price of admission as far as I'm concerned.

I tell you what - I'm not even going to raise prices next season! Hope to see you there.

Just got back from there, he's in good spirits (or was, however when I left the nurse was going to put him on his side, so I am sure his mood changed somewhat). Was anyone behind him when he crashed that could see what happened?

FYI he added a partially collapsed lung to his list of ailments as well, so he'll be there for a few days waiting for that to clear up.

Didn't get your crash but the immediate aftermath.

Applehans comes flying by me before turn 7 and around 9:00 you can see your dust.

Hope you recovery goes well, I had fun running around with you in one of the early sessions.

Wow! Did not know I was so far of the track.
I did hold it as far as I could but the speed was still too great to save it.
I had fun too, was hoping we can get to dice it up again

Well maybe next time.
