Straight carnage.  Glad no serious injuries.

Someone blow something up and drop fluids on the ground? Hence, all the riders, seeming like they just slipped, and went down?

[neilatterbury]

The guy in 4th or 5th blow his motor and spilled oil all over the track. There was 12 bikes in total. The guy on the left caught the beigining of the oil on the track. There was nothing any of us could have done. I believe everyone is o.k. overall. I hava broken left hand but shoudl make the next race. Pretty good video all things considered! See at T-Hill!!! #175

[seppes]

even worse than a "spill"...he MISTED the track with oil... from track level, i couldn't even see it..it wasn't until i climbed up the side of the hill did i notice an odd color on the ground... the turn workers didn't see it either. i yelled down to a worker in t1 to check, and i had to guide him to it, cause you really just could not see the oil from tracklevel. glad you guys were okay!!

[neilatterbury]

No Dought brotha.. Ya gonna be at T-hill. Im gonna try to man up and race but the hand is still alittle weak. That mist coverde the whole front of my bike and my visor. Really strange.. Talked to Justin who was the guy laying there and he'll be back this weekend too. Hopefully see ya there!!

i saw justin 2 weekends ago... he was up at RFR for the races (as a spectator tho). got his bell rung pretty good and still seemed a lil out of it (which he was aware of). his only injury was taking a nap in t1. *thumbsup*

[john15i177]

why did the guy in front of you on the left crash?

[jboatr1]

Damn, that was CRAZY!!! Glad you made it through. I hope everyone else is OK too...

[seppes]

damn, ed..that was crazy... i stood there and watched the whole thing while i was shooting. i saw you roll thru it as the dust was settling. glad to see you didn't become part of the whole thing too.

[neilatterbury]

DUDE. Thank you for not hitting me. I was #175on the 3rd row involved in that. As you came through the dust I was already on my feet with my hands up. That was a crazy crash. See ya after the hande heals up. One little broken bone.

[Chaotic8]

Daaaaaammmmmmn...that's messy.
