    Yea I saw Applehans throw up his hand when he saw you go off and by the time I looked up to the corner worker in 12 had the red out. I didn't see you moving as I rode around 11 but at the top of 13 I could see you sitting up so that was a relief.

    Well maybe next time.
    Curious to see what you find on the bike. A number of us checked it out afterwards and couldn't find any mechanical issues with the brake.

    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.
    You talking about the orange bike at the end in turn 7? Because I saw the whole thing.

    Yeah, me too! I still did not manage to unload the bikes but can't wait to look at that brake what actualy went wrong.
    I just remember that I grabed the lever and it droped all the way to the handlebar with no efect. Like the brake was not there at all

    Just to give everyone an update, I'm working on all of the pictures from Chicane. Since Marc had his accident, he wasn't able to get right on it like he usually would, and had to be up in Aspen this week. I got his shots on Wednesday night (all 6500 of them), and I have started keywording them. I have to be at PPIR this weekend for the MRA races, so not much will get done on them this weekend. I'm hoping to have everything done by Wednesday and the pictures up on Marc's site by Friday. Sorry it's taking so long to get the pictures done.

    Not me, David did that for me. I'm still in the proces of learning how to put my socks on with one hand. So the bikes have to wait till I'm ready.

    I just wanted to throw out a quick update - For those that do not know, I went down during the last session of this track day. As a result, I spent about several days in the hospital with 7 broken ribs, a broken scapula, and a partially collapsed lung. I am home now and doing much better, but still dealing with quite a bit of pain. Needless to say, this is what has caused the delay in getting through the images and getting them posted. I assure you that I am working on them as quickly as I can to get them up for everyone to see. Please accept my most sincere apologies for the delay. Trust me when I say that I would much rather have been working through the images than what I have been going through. I will definitely send out an e-mail when the images are up and ready. I appreciate your patience as I finish working through the images. If you have any questions please drop me a line at marc@onthemarcphotography.com.
