Rider Updates

On Jul 10th we had the second race of the TORN series.  The track was dry, but it was a lot of fun. I don't usually do more than one practice lap, but it was so much fun, I decided to get a little extra riding in.  It was definitely a typical summer day in Texas, but I was well hydrated and ready to deal with the afternoon heat.  I got a pretty decent start about 5th from the holeshot and made it through clean, which was the plan all along.  The first turn off the start was super slick, so I was relieved to make it through clean.  The dust that day was like I was racing back in the deserts of Nevada, but I could deal with that and figured as we get into race pace, we would spread out a little, so I wasn't too worried.  I mad one pass for 4th and was riding really good.  Went to make another pass for 3rd, washed the front end out in a slick, silty corner and went over the bars, with the bike landing on top of me.  Luckily, another racer was kind enough to ditch his own bike and help me out.  With the wind knocked out of me, I finally got up and realized that my right shoulder was super jacked up.  With that, I made my way back to the pits and called it a day.  We packed up, went back home, and finally to the ER.  Got some xrays at my specialist and I have a fractured collar bone, torn ac joint and busted upper back.  I'm down right now, but praying I can get back into the series before the finish of the 2021 season.  Thanks to all of my sponsors!  I couldn't do it with out you and you all kept me safe, as things could've been a lot worse.  We'll get 'em next time!!
