To the guy on the motard that I accidentally stuffed here...
...sorry. I felt so bad afterward, especially when I noticed I made you take another bike out too. I shoulda been a little more patient, but I wasn't.
I already apologized to the other guy because he was pitted right next to me, but I never found you afterwards. So again, sorry for causing the trouble [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img].

Wouldn't it be neat if the youngest and the oldest (I'm 60) racer in the mini endurance race met in a crash. Seriously, I hope you enjoyed your race as much as I enjoyed mine, crashing and all.

Well, since Zeb started confession time here, I guess I should come clean. (Didn't think about it before.) I went out in the mini endurance race after a red flag or some kind of stoppage, I think just under an hour from the end. I had never been around the track before and had just gotten off the big bike (practice for BBE).
Started and went left through T1 and on down the hill, weaving back and forth following the track when at the bottom of the hill, exiting a mild right turn, I realize I'm passing EVERYONE. At which point I see that I'm coming in tight into the tight left at the bottom of the hill with no hope of making it through, and about 8 bikes on my outside. I'm about to pull a bowling for dollars move--yikes! I hit the brakes for a second, pitched it in, and bounced my front wheel off of someone's rear, somehow didn't go down or go off the track, and made it through the corner. I know the guys on my outside were SURE I was gonna take them out... so was I! I just got lucky to hit the other guy just hard enough to keep me on the track but not hard enough to knock me (or him) down. Sheesh.
I'm very sorry, it was completely my fault, and a stupid moment of just not thinking through that I might ought to take the very first lap around the track at something other than 100%. Sorry to the guy I bounced off of and the others that I likely scared the poop out of.
I was on a white NSR, black helmet. Again, sorry.
