I hope Tracy has a speedy recovery but with the extent of his injuries I assume he is done racing for awhile. How about putting TK in while Tracy is recovering?

I wonder how many race drivers have suffered injuries and even death from riding motorcycles. I know that "stuff" happens, but I wonder if it will ever cease..

TK does not like wingless sprint cars (maybe Bud).
Hope for a speedy recovery for Tracy!!!!!!!
Maybe they can drag Jay Drake back into the seat, or what about Cory?
(Carol 14 I thought the same thing, but it was a dirt bike and maybe he was just trying to get in better shape, but you probably already know what ER nurses think about about murdercycles. Its normally not the riders fault but the idiot who turns right in front of the bike on the street).
PS Tony Stewart mentioned on the Colbert report, and was told to quit whining about the fake yellows on the comedy channel tonight, who wants to see someone win a race by ten laps LOL- just passing the information on- no need to shoot the messenger. (He also ragged on Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman family for ruining a good story too in the bit, but he started off with Tony)

A lot of people in general suffer injury & death on motorcycles because a lot of people don't watch for them. Expecially .... (well I won't go there). I know this was a dirt bike but still a touchy subject with me.

I'm with Paintboss on that topic.
The giant electronic message signs over the tollway around Rockford have started flashing reminders to watch for motorcycles when making lane changes. I fully expect to get run over by somebody who doesn't see me because they are reading the sign.

As stated above, most of time its not the motorcycle that makes the mistake but the person in the car running them over. Calling them Murdercycles is rather insensitive in this day of political correctness?
Carol 14 - It will end when they put a big spike in the middle of the steering wheel instead of an airbag and remove the seatbelts. Peoples driving habits will change dramatically.

As much as I'd like to see TK run wingless I don't think it'll happen again. Besides he's got a ride at the moment on the WoO tour. Kruser, Bud or even someone like Casey Shuman would be a good fill in for the sprint and midget.
On the subject of motorcycles, I have very little to no experience riding them therefore I'm pretty leary on them. A thing that is going on around here in Southeast Mo. is motorcylce riding safety courses. A program like that is good but it still does not protect you from the actions of other motorists like you all are referring to. Cody Hewitt is a painful reminder of the possible dangers of riding.

I don't like motorcylces myself because I know many people who have crashed and gotten hurt and recently one of my classmates from high school was killed. I am not saying it is the motorcylces fault, but they just don't offer much protection when a crash happens. We also used to be involved in dirt bike racing and ended up getting out of because of people getting injured.
Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the
West series schedule!
Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting
racecars on dirt!

CAN i APPLY FOR THE POSITION, i USED TO PARK CARS ON THE PAVEMENT WHEN i WAS A KID.
Pavement is for parking, dirt is for racing.
