that had to hurt.

[derf]

I hit a deer like that in 2004, 70 mph right through the windshield

Looks like Summit Main. There are a few videos of deer incidents there; we've had a couple sessions red flagged due to deer on the track out there (over ~5 years' time).

Why don't these places fence the track??

[fasternyou929]

It would take a pretty large investment. I swear those dear have springs in their feet; I've seen those little deer bound from back yard to back yard here, easily clearing a 6' privacy fence.

Summit Point IS fenced in. You'd have to have 10 FT high fences to keep deer out. I've dodged groundhogs, squirrels but never a deer at Summit.

heard a story about a deer that got hit twice on main. Got clipped at the end of the straight, wnet through the woods and got nailed again near turn 3. Never saw one when I was there, but ran one session where a gopher or soemthing was chilling on the grass on the outside of turn 10. Not what you want to see comming onto the straight :lol:

At Watkins Glen the corner workers show moose horns to warn of deer. :lol

Suckola...

Fence products are high especially metal fences, plus paying a company to put it up. "Game" fencing is what, 10 tall. So the post are probably 12'-14' tall depending on how much you want in the ground.

You see game fencing run for miles and miles here. I wouldn't doubt 100' roll cost $200. One mile is 5280ft. So 5280 / 100 = 528 rolls * $200 = $105,600

Some of the deer out there lately would give a moose a run for its money! Fucking deer.

at least he was smart enough to Put his hand over his eyes

I don't think that was smarts at play. Unless he was smart enough to shit his pants, too.

What's up with him waving to that Mustang? Ghey......keep your hands on the wheel. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason the Mustang was going so much slower is because he spotted the deer before Mr. Chevy did. :lol:

It's typical to give an acknowledgement wave to a car letting them know you see them.

[Papa_Complex]

Indeed; visors are not a fashion statement.

At car days arent you supposed to move over for afaster vehicle? I know with most bike days its all on the guy behind to make a clean safe pass.

The Mustang was coming out of the pit lane. So he would stay right until after turn 1. This was the advanced group so passing is allowed on either side. Typically I pass on the right side going into turn 1.

ok, Same rules prety much apply for bikes for pitting out, staying off line untill you get up to speed. Just not always followed unfortunatley.

What would you call it?

His visor was up and a deer just barreled into his Windshield Sending shattered glass towards his face.

I'd say in the heat of the moment with all that shit going on it was a pretty smart move to save his eyes.

You mean waving to people entering from pit?

[VatorMan]

It could have been his friend or butt buddy.Who knows ? It's just that you don't lock your fingers around the wheel for 30 minutes. He was on a straight away. What could happen ? :lol:

When I went down a couple years ago I didnt even think about calling my insurance company. The viffer is here to stay until there are no more parts to get or a bulldozer runs over her.

[fasternyou929]

Happened to my buddy's brand new Aprilia RSV. One little spill and the shift lever scratched the frame. Totalled.

Black and white rules with no ability to apply logic. Absolutely stupid.
