Jesus! Hope you were ok! That rear subframe is a pricy bugger. I hope you can find a used one cheap. I bought myself a brand new one after I wrecked mine and then realized the original one is useable (bent after the seat). At least now I have a spare.

just wondering how come u didnt hit the kill engine swithc

Long story, but the short of it was that it happened at the worst possible part of the track, and it happened too quick to pull the clutch or hit the kill switch.

are you fixin that one back up? looks like it may have flipped a time or two?

I rebuilt it and took it to the races last weekend. We got practice in, but the races got rained out.

I only had 3 weeks, so I put the stock subframe and pipes back on it, and glassed the bodywork back together. it was ugle and heavy, but it ran.

Unfortunatly I was scared to death of the damn thing. Riding at sears there is little room for error, and I have pretty low confidence in the thing..

and yea, it flipped, scratched and dragged for quite a ways. Like I said, it was the top of third, and still wide open when I ejected.

i see ya got new digs.

which turn ya eat it on the 1k?

This was on the first wheelie bump at buttonwillow, so it was on a straightaway...
