Rider down.. Little Vic on a Turbo zx14
I pull this from pychobikes... posted by Justtoys''
Well folks it's sad to say that Lil Vic Gotey, Super Street Champion had an accident last night at Bradenton Motorsport.
He is doing well and in good spirits. He didn't break any bones nor sprain any joints. He does have some trauma from the contact with the bike and pavement.
He was riding the most powerful zx14 on the planet, set on kill.
They made several very impressive passes in the previous test runs of over 185 mph. The crew cheif decided to test the limits of the zx14 named "The Beast".
Well the bike started to lift after the 1/8 mile around 1000 ft mark. According to reports Vic said that the bike came up too quickly, he didn't have time to react. He also said," the bike pulled so hard it had to have had a tune up for over over 400 hp.
Good thing is Vic is doing well and was released from the hospital early this morning with a good bill of health.
so, please add him on your prayer list for a speedy recovery.

Jesse and myself were going to go watch Vic run the zx14 but i got side tracked and didn't go ...I'm glad we didn't go because i would not want to see a friend go down ... Smokin..

Damn. You know he never likes to lift off the throttle even when he is straight up in the air. Glad it wasn't serious.

Looks like Victor may will be riding that 14 this year is SS. Timbo told him good luck with his new ride at Chis Jones team.
