I went, had a great time. If you were thinking about it and didn't... you shoulda.
Not so many pictures the second day ... because I got to ride shotgun! weeee!

Nice pictures Greg, thanks for posting up. And thanks a ton for helping out on Sunday and getting me going again. I had a much better time on Sunday and I want to thank you and David for that.
Can you email me a full size pic of that last one where we're welding on my truck?

How did she work on the second day after we left?

How did she work on the second day after we left?
Worked ok... I've got some serious shock tuning to do over the off season. It was extremely lucky that David had a similar make, size, and valved Bilstein shock... Weird! Anyway, I am feeling good that we got to complete 6 motos / 2 rounds of racing. That's major progress for my team.
How's Derek doing?
I have your prize plaques and will bring them to the Fall Classic.

Sweet picture. Well my backs a little sore to be expected. Haven't seen the specialist but read up and it is the most common type of back fracture/compression. With what I read looks like I got at least 8 weeks to help Drone get the shock and springs upgraded before I should get back (ha) in the saddle again. My suggestion to other racers is to think about a brace while running though I think my injury was just a flukey wrong land.

Derek - Good to see you up and kickin!! While you were on the back board I thought about asking you if you couldn't just walk it off but back injuries are serious business. Looked like you were in some serious pain at the time.
Lots of poeple asked about your condition and wish you the best in recovery. I think with you in the drivers seat the the car should get another T -- Team TTrouble, just because there is more trouble when your running the skinny pedel. :)
I had a thought about what happened. Kris's legs are longer than yours? is it possible in everything that was going on in the moment of landing your butt scootched forward? I know when I'm ridin shotgun I use both my feet on the (nonexitent) dead pedal(s) to keep my ass planted in the back of the seat. In our rig the seat was positioned using a shorter person than me - I'm completely ok with it because it forces me to stay planted against the back wall of the seat. Might be a good idea to install a dead pedal. Miata's and Acura integra's have em so you could pick one up for next to nothing.

While some people do wear a kidney belt, it is important to have good posture while driving. This combined with good suspension and good seats keeps you from being injured. I have come close to injury a few times where I could really feel the strain in my back. I am very aware of how far my body can be pushed when racing. Just like our vehicles we can only push so hard before we break and its important to stay inside the limits.

Yea, better make sure I bring the brace along next time...
