I'm a little out of it, so I'll be breif.
had a get off at Jennings GP in turn nine in the dirt 2 days ago. Broke my right scapula and greenstick fractured my clavical. Lost consiousness for 5-10 min by my estimate. Woke up in the track ambulance and as it turned out my irish skull saved what little brain i had left.
ER visit showed no brain damage, DUHHHHH, but lots of problems with my shoulder. Have a visit with the ortho today. Based on the break at the socket it looks like I'm gonna need surgery but will find out l8tr 2day.
bike was fine, only 3 cracks and some light sanding on the fairing. Easy repair when i can get to it.
The new R1 I got was awesome. Turned my best laps there in the first 2 sessions of the day. Consistant 1:25's and finally cracked the 1:23 mark with a 1:23.65.
Ohiomike, you should have a good clue what those times mean. This was my 2nd day on the track with my new bike, 5th all together. Besides the get off It was awesome!!!

Get off happened in my third session, 1st lap. Dirt tracked the rear end through nine (unintentionally) got her straightened out and went into the infield. Tried to scrub off speed before re-entering 10 and she stoped cold in her tracks and puked my azz off.

L8tr dudes. keep the rubber side down![/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]

Frec,
My wife had the CT and X-ray CD but didn't make copies. The socket is displaced from the scapula by approximately 4mm. I may need a plate below that as well. Won't know until I come out of surgery. I was hoping it would be sooner though. Monday is kinda far off.
Doctor was shocked at the break. Stumped him went he palpitated the clavical break too. I felt no pain. He tried like **** to get me to wince, it made him walk out and re-examine the x-ray again. LOL

Thanks for the support. It's nice to read the comments.

Shawn, That sucks, Is the bike ok??? Just kidding, I know you can fix anything. Glad to hear you're not too F'd up. Rehab is for quitters... wait I mean oh well just glad you're basically in one piece. Looks like you were really tearing it up. 1:23 at Jennings is **** fast. You got some great pics too. Anyway hope you're surgery goes well. Monday does seem kinda far off to me too, but maybe they're waiting for the swelling to go down. If I can help you with anything, don't hesitate to ask. I guess you'll get a lot of R&R in the coming weeks. Keep us up to date and get well soon.

Surgery is monday. Getting my pre-op stuff done tomorrow. I stopped taking the pain meds, didn't like how they made me feel. Long week here waiting. Can't wait to be productive again.
