Intra goes down at the track
Just a friend of intra's, but he has asked me to post for him - Last night at the track, Joey was making his first run to test out the airshifter. Making a conservative run out of the box at 8 psi, and right before the traps something caused the bike to go down @ 155 mph. Nick who is a member of this board says that when he picked the bike up that it had oil all over the back wheel. Joey took the ambulance to the helicopter pad where he was careflighted to Parkland Hospital. He has several broken bones mainly in the hand and wrist, with minor road rash to the body. He is still in the hospital waiting for surgery. He just wanted everyone to know that he is OK. Anyone local that wants to call him 214-590-7715 or if you know his cell #.
Lets hope for a speedy recovery & be thankful that it was not worse.

Nooooooo!!!! 
Dammit I hate to hear when people go down, but THANK GOD that you are at least in decent condition. (I hesitate to say "good" condition!)
Joey, when you read this and we all know you will, I feel for ya brother. I hope your bones heal quickly and that the pain isn't too bad.
Oil on the back tire? Can't wait to hear more about how this happened.
Let us all know what parts you're gonna need, and if it's rebuildable.
Godspeed to ya Joey,
BA

Well just got off of the phone with his girlfriend, and she said he is sleeping right now 2:35pm CT. what she told me was his left pinky is broke a couple of places, his right hand is fractured, and his right wrist will need surgery when his hand heals and his ankle is brused really bad. from the way it sounds it hurts like hell but he is going to be ok. glad to hear it is not worse!

Oil on the tire to me may mean that the clutch may have let go, or the counter Shaft sprocket seal let go! Let us hope that it was not a rod making A/C for the case!
