Azoom, give us the low down on the AF1 Racing track day!
 
The good, the bad and the ugly, please. I heard that there were a couple of crashes.

The good - 60 riders got to show up and ride the track for free.

The bad - one of my instructors did some off roading, and beautiful (read = ouch) swan superman operation destroying his Tuono Factory and breaking six ribs. He bent the bars with his chest.

One other hit the ground for the day - bike totalled, rider fine.

All in all - a REALLY good time. Wish you could have made it.

The one is fine - no injuries to him at all. Well, probably just sore.

The other is still in the hospital. His lung partially collapsed, and won't quite re-inflate. The doctors aren't messing around at all, which is good to know. He's a doll - and is reliving the accident. He was following a rider into the front straight, that rider checked up on the last kink into the straight and cut into any line he had to stay on the track. :( Wake-up call for instructors and distance.

I managed and hosted the track - the day was an open house for AF1 Racing, www.af1racing.com The track-space was for Aprilia motorcycles ONLY. So, if you had a priller, you could ride due to their graces. ;)

I heard about the instructor/CMRA racer going offroad a bit with the RS125. What happened there? He didn't pin the throttle and kept the speed through the turn?
