There was oil on the bike when I got to it, but nothing in the bike let go, there was something on the track it spun the tire at 150mph you can see the mark plain as day. Its long as hell....another guys zx12 was spinning after the 1/8th mile when he hit the airshifter on motor. Sounded weird as hell. Joeys bike isnt bad at all, the stator acted as a frame slider for a footbal field or so so it just needs that cover and a left side fairing..I got his truck and bike at my shop, hes talking about he doesnt want to race anymore....

I was at the track and can say that I have never seen the track that slick before, my little bike was spinning the wheel at 1,000', would not be surprised if it was just a slick track and huge amount of HP. Heal quick and heal well.

spoke with Joey again today and he seemed in good spirits! he road rash has to heal before they can do surgery, and he rembers most of the crash. just said one second he was up and the next he was on the ground?? he also was using a shinko tire, he might go home tomorrow to heal up some! It was great talking with him!!

Joey called me last nite while I was driving in from Missouri, and he said he was hurting all over. Drugs not doing much for him yet. Road rash is a mo fo'er!! Kind of wondering if something snapped on the bike?? All that HP and a slick track.....who knows?! As long as Joey is all right is all that matters!! Joey, call me if you need some help down that way...
BTW.... It was his Turbo'Bird he took a dump on

What kind of protective gear / (clothing?) was he wearing? When I went down the Dainese leathers really protected me from rash (none except for my knuckles where the gloves wore) but as we all know leathers don't help against broken bones such as arms, wrists, hands, legs, and ankles!

Full leathers, boots, gloves and a helmet. From what Joey said they are tattered pretty bad!!
The gear in this shot....
