Sanchez, did anything ever come out of this? Like assistance from the responsible party or an apology?

Yeah, the CR was a friend of the track day organizer. They did both apologize, but it was kind of back handed. The CR claimed he passed me on the outside of the corner and that I somehow lost control and hit him. In reality, he passed me on the inside, ran wide, and physically knocked me off the track. The corner worker saw the whole thing plain as day and backed my side of the story, but the CR basically called us both liars. The apology I got was more along the lines of "I'm sorry the CR made a bad pass and caused you to hit him" rather than "I'm sorry the CR hit you." He did at least admit he was riding too aggressively and accepted fault from that perspective, but being called a liar really pissed me off.
It's all water under the bridge now, though. Stuff happens! That's a risk you take when you get out on a race track. I got out of it with only a skinned knee, and that's all that matters.
