    Just got released from the hospital after my incident today with a concussion and some various bruises.

    First off I would like to thank everyone that helped me out...I remember starting the race, riding on a scooter, seeing the on track paramedics, and then waiting in the ER. So if you were involved along the way, Thanks! I have no idea who you were!

    If anyone has any input, pictures, or video of what I did, I would greatly appreciate it, both to help my memory, and to let me know what not to do next time.

    Thanks,
    Cam

    Glad to hear you're ok. Only advice I can give is to keep the rubber bits on the ground. Happens to all of us.

    Oh, and the bike accelerates faster in gear at the start.

    Haha, Thank Andrew.

    Ross & Reckless - I think it was turn 3, but not positive. What probably happened is I got on the gas after my front wheel hit the bump, instead of after my back wheel.

    Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery! Now that you have your first track crash outta the way, you can relax on track and practice your craft.
