Noooo....take the third left hand entrance to Firebird. It's on the West track.
You have to go down Maricopa road a little bit further, past the dragstrip.
There should be AZtrackday signs at the driveway entrance.

i got some pretty sweet pics of LilBlue out there on the track :D

[stallion636]

Well trackday was ok. I hate when they combine intermediate and advance. Espescially on West track beacuse there is just not much room to manuever out there. I ended up running into another bike in the keyhole and went down, the other bike stayed up but I hit the ground pretty hard and sprained my shoulder, bruised my ankle and have a pretty good anount of swelling and bruising on my right forearm. The bike is ok, Adrenaline had the part I needed to keep running the rest of the day so I did just that. Today I can't lift my right arm but I think everything is going to be ok.

[Kalantheia]

That sucks you crashed! I am glad you are okay though. And glad I was not there to see any of the crashes.

[stallion636]

Ya it sucked but it was all my fault and I accept that. My shoulder is sore as hell though.

[craqhead]

I came close to bein' takin' out by a motard. You can't see the bike sliding in front of me
in the video, cause my camera was mounted on the left side, but you can definitely
see me heading for DIRT! (it's about 5:35 into the video..)

Glad you're OK Sean...:beerchug:

[Kalantheia]

This one would be EASY for you to watch...trust me...stayed upright the entire time.
Without explanation, it just looks like I decided to take a detour through some dirt...
:genius:

[MOTOXAZ]

so did he just take a turn too hot and went wide into u or did he actually go off the track into ur section of the track?

Nope. Still makes me nauseous! It is different since it is not a tank mount, but seeing all the guys in front in that death lean still got me.

[craqhead]

He came into the corner hot, pinched brake, and went lowside...just to the front and right of me.
I think he was trying to sneak past me on the inside.

His bike ended up sliding off the track about where my off-track adventure started...
A pit-partner of mine was on a dirtbike, crawling up my butt and witnessed it all from behind.
He ended up following my trail right into the dirt.

Damn, I wish I had video of that! :doh:

[MOTOXAZ]

wow sounds like it could have been worse. good job thinking about the dirt glad everyone is ok.
