You're nuts, I like a roll cage around me...
What kind of G's are you pulling?
Is that digital readout your speedometer?
I have no idea on G's. I have some software that does show the lateral G forces when I pull data off my GPS lap timer but I didn't download it this time. That is the speedometer. Those were slow laps on the back stretch. I usually shift and go through the next gear and top out at about 150mph. I think I hit about 120 following my friend. Speedometers are off a pretty good bit though at those speeds.

I was going to use drowning pool but this fit pretty good I thought. Waiting to use "Bodies" for my crash compilation video.

So did that guy's wreck a couple weeks ago freak you out?
Marco Simoncelli? It was heartbreaking mostly. Very talented young man and one of the elite of motorcycle racers. It was really a freak accident in how it happened. We know the risk we take doing this but it is actually safer than riding on the street which I seldom do any longer. In the two years I've been doing this, I have seen a lot of crashes including my own. Most get up and ride the crash truck in like I did. Some take the ambulance ride to the E.R. and in the most extreme cases, we have had to life flight one guy out. I have known five people that have died in the last five years and they have all been riding street. Trust me, this is much safer.

You got more Track time than Kyle Busch did this weekend sad to say and he is a Professional. I can not wait til Tues to see what JGR his Sponsor or Nascar do to him further. All 3 are beyond mad with him. JGR for his refusal to calm down Mars Inc for just being a Jackass Nascar for for taking out a Champinship Contender from having a chance to Repeat in a tight Race for the title.
Not a good week for him I bet.

I watched the video, and looks like he was cutting across those other riders, had something happened? Or was he cutting across them on purpose?

That actually kind of pisses me off. And why I don't like the new Buschwacker rules. They should let them all compete for the championship.

It was very uncommon. He had just saved a lowside and when he got it under control, it shot him across the track right in front of Carl Edwards and Valentino Rossi who both hit him. Rarely see that happen and nothing anyone could do.

Don't know how in the heck I typed Carl instead of Colin.
