crash in the valley
hey guys i crashed in the valley saturday during eliminations, banged up pretty bad and the 14s not in such bad shape.looking for some things so i can finish the season. anyone know where i can get a right hand clip on?. i may be able to race in new england dragway this saturday if the swelling goes down. thanks, and i'm very lucky to ride again i would not be so fortunate if i was street racing. i came up with some serious swelling and bruising and i dont see that happening to guys in the street. i'm grateful for the tracks that we race on and the people who staff these tracks. they did an excellent job on me thanks for the people at my home track and the folks at lebanon valley. jay

A catalyst seat is a good, cheap way to stop from sliding back! Can usually pick up a used one for less than $100. glad your ok!

The catalyst seat is what helped me recover my 12 oclock this week end. My leathers seemed like they were glued to it.
Glad your ok.

Only advice I know is when it starts to come up, let out. You have already lost a good time, so no point in going dwn again. How far u stretched?
