Rider Updates
Jun 14 2007
2 weeks ago I was racing in Taylorville but it was only practice since we get 2 practices I only do one lap in the 1st practice because its so soft and slick I went out for second practice and I didnt even comeplete half a lap........some guys were riding like idiots behind me and one guy went down taking out all 5 of us entering the corner I was completley blind sided I wasnt even aware they were taht close to me.I went down flipped over the handle bars and the bike hit me in the back.My dad works as the EMT up there and So he had to drive me out by ambulance to St. Johns hospital I spent the day in the hospital they wanted to keep me over night in ICU because of my lung but since he knew my dad was an EMT and my mom is a nurse he let us go home aka to the camper at the track so I could watch Sunday.
I was sent home with a 3.7cm hole in my lung which had collapsed and a chipped collar bone and
3 breaks in my middle finger of my right hand and 2 fractures with a bend on my right ring finger
We have been driving back and fourth for x rays 4 times in two weeks. Im not realeased to actually ride for a nother 3 weeks but Im probably going to race this weekend!
my bike only had minor scratches and the big gun exhaust pipe has an extra gole in it! The motormount was pushed up into the actual pipe which put the hole in it
Just thought Id update you guys on the hole racing season thanks to all of my sponsors out there! Thanks for taking your time to read this and checking out my page! =]

so i was pretty excited about racing this weekend at taylorville(southfork) when i checked there sight it said there races have been cancelled because they are continuing to make improvements to the track! Which i guess that is a good thing but i was so very excited to race outside on a big track and not on a narrow short indoor track! lol i noticed before that crossroads would be running the same weekend so it would be the backup track so to speak. I get on there sight and they also cancelled! OMG what is the deal? All i want to do is race outside! At this point im pratically in tears trying to find a place to ride! crossraods cancelled because they want to have a practice before thay hold a race. Not a bad idea either! Now our plan is to just have a bunch of ppl over to ride at our track which is pretty sweet if i must say so myself! just thougt id update you! o yea the last indoor race i was in practice got off on my timing during the 6 pack fliped and hit the wall. I still raced and rode to my ability its been about 2 weeks and im still soar! i have 2 monster bruises on my elbows, because when i fell i slammed them together adn alota lil scrapes on my knees and legs along w/ some bruises i also have a pretty decent scrape on my hip it looks absolutely ridiclous! the wrost part was having everyone ask me"where u the girl that hit the wall in practice?" that was pretty nasty crash are u ok? in my head im thinking yea im fine! y is it girls are always asked and helped at the track but guys arent? we knew what we were getting into when we started riding so treat us like u would anyother boy on the track!

heya torie here!
well arenacross has come and almost gone but who doesnt like those long cold noisy days? arenacross has definatley raised my confidence level for next year! im so excited for outdoors to come around!i do believe i have became a much better racer than last years first race on a 125 (which was a qualifer in march that i made the cut off for!) I want a 250 four stroke badly! my riding style is better on a four stroke and its easier for me to handle and most importantly im faster on one! just thought id update you on whats going around here! hopefully the snow will stop and i can start racing outdoors again!
thanks for your time
