All,

I was filming yesterday (Summit Point, West VA, Main Course) at the CCS races ...

BIG wreck in T1 right in front of me ...

It was an incredible race; really fun to watch.

I didn't race, was just filming, so bear with me if I don't get the facts all correct.  Here's how I remember it:

- It was Race 1 (Formula 40); the over 40 guys.  There were Amateur and Expert out on the track together.

- The "pack" just never seemed to break up ... those guys were SERIOUS about winning and kept it close racing ... that's when "it" happened ...

- Coming into turn 1, the guy LEADING the Expert group (I don't know his name or number) and the guy LEADING the Amateur group (#587, Ross Wellwood, who was pitted near where I was camping) collided ...

- Everybody is OK ...

That pavement looks to be in HORRIBLE shape. Glad to see the second rider was okay after laying there for a bit.

Yeah, it's a bit bumpy.

I ran on it on the 7th for seven track day sessions.  Not too bad after you figure out where the bumps are.  There are only a couple on the race line and they are pretty easy to get around.

I post some video of that in a few days.  I'm backlogged.
