Update on the rider life flighted from Jennings 3/8/09
 
Chris just emailed this to me; I think it was posted on the JGP board:

Quote:

"I have info on this thru a friend:

Bill is doing well. they're gonna take xrays tomorrow morning and if all is
well release him wednesday. he has a collapsed lung

the goofball actually called WERA to see what his lap times were

bike is in decent condition from what i understand. It was bill that got
life flighted. you can tell the folks he's recovering well and thanks for
the concern

apparently he went off at turn 1 at about 100mph, went over the handle bars
and landed on his head and back. he's lucky he didn't break anything!"
SO glad he's alright, but :lol: that he called for his lap times!!!

Whew, glad to hear the guy will be ok. Typical biker.. "how's the bike?"... typical racer.. "how were my lap times?" :lol:

Glad he's doing ok. I've run off turn one a couple times. That's a fast corner entry. Plenty of room off track but it's really bumpy and rutted.

I've run off in 1 a couple times and lowsided there once, it's NOT fun. Glad he's ok, and I totally understand wanting to know lap times. I ran my PB and promptly lowsided in T1, when I got back into the pits everybody who walked up to me and asked if I was ok got the answer of "I broke a 1:30!"

Oh and when you're racing and someone goes down the first thought is "I hope he's ok" which is immediately followed by "hey, I just moved up one!"

I think it was you that came up with Team Vulture right?

Team Vulture = When you go down, we move up :rockout:

Hell Yeah!

I went down in T1 at JGP while leading Chaz and Len. They do hot pick-ups in one, so I was sitting on my bike by the berm waiting to get picked up and they both went past me, and waved. That's why Len is a proud member of TVR!

Seems like in a late race, a rider rode off one and climbed to the top of the levee before he stopped

Really glad he is OK...anyone know what the heli-limo bill was? That could affect your track budget pretty good

Thanks for the update.

Glad to see he is ok.

Guy's a fuckin' champion, he's callin' for his times. I'm gonna Paypal him a beer.
