Being it was my first motorcycle race, I had a blast!
I was hoping Edwards would finish higher, but two Americans in the TOP 5 isn't bad at all. We actually saw several wrecks from our seats on the mound. I'm surprised there weren't more on that awful pavement transition. Really wild watching those guys wobble and bounce across that stuff. And then there was Captain America and a stealthy 500cc two stroke racer.

In case no one has heard yet, I had a wreck. Some asshole ran a red light in front of me in Indy halfway between the hotel and the track. I didn't stand a chance. Rainy nasty greasy intersection with less than 6" on each side clean between the paint and La Brea Tar Pits. Bashed my knee hard- so hard that I went to the hospital and spent the whole afternoon and evening waiting for X-Rays. Turned out it's just "swollen like a mother." Entire right side of the bike is rashed- plastics, engine cover, mirror, and the bars dented the tank.
