I've been up in the shout box, but wanted to make sure I put up a post also.
John, me and my back are eternally grateful for your skill in minimizing the inevitable impact that I put myself into. I was really relieved that you and your bike were relatively OK...and I'm hoping that's still the case. I'm very sorry that I ended your superbike race. You are a great Sportsman in my books.
Also, as I said in the shoutbox, big thanks to you Justin for your care and concern...it was reassuring to have a friend and a professional helping me.
Thanks Pete and of course your wife(I'm sorry I can't recall her name), you're both wonderful people to have as part of the club, both on and off the track. thanks for all of your care and concern, water, ice packs. Chris, Karen, Todd, KJ, Ian, Cory, Blair, Lorna, Norm, Dave, Pat, Andrew etc etc I'm sorry I know I haven't recalled all of you who came by to just see how I was doing, it's great to be a part of this club where we are competitors on track and good friends in the pits. That's really what club racing is all about for me.
As for me, I'm actually feeling pretty Ok as long as I'm just lying down and a bit hopped up on Tylenol codeine, and don't try to move around.
My back is starting to go down in swelling. Right knee is tweaked and swollen as is my left leg, but knock on wood, I'll be back for Rd 5.
And finally, back protectors work. Everyone, please, make sure you have a good, high quality, back protector that's properly sized for maximum coverage of your back. I was wearing a Joe Rocket Speedmaster which is in fact a T-Pro Forcefield back protector that is marketed under the JR label. Last I researched when I bought it about 4 years ago, it was very highly rated in energy absorption. I'm really thankful I had it on.
