forces from texas and oklahoma converged on village creek saturday nite. guns were set on "automatic trophy". battlefield was in great shape. the enemy was behind every obstacle and bunker. but they were no match for the DRN air force. practice went well. gatorade was pouring out of us just like in the commercials. mx547 was wearing the blue and i had the orange coming out of the top of my head. being short of hair and all. we went to signup and i chose the 30+ and he took on the 38+. i thought things were looking up for me because i drew moto 1. fellow DNRr Jeff Gilbert followed up on our invitation and although we were happy to see him and Tigger, we later became very grateful for his presence. oh yeah, this was the first time my mom had ever seen me ride competitively.
anyway.........we go to the line and im feelin it. like i said "automatic trophy" mode. i get an ok start and am feeling good. second lap in a guy lowsides in a corner and i get around him. this makes me third place whooohooooo!! i try to ride hard because i know he is faster than me. i do this real easy double...go a little long and am going up a step up triple. im dragging the brake to land down in the bottom. but alas the track has my number and i find myself way long and too high but not far enough to triple. that means a really bad long landing on a double. my boots spank the ground as the suspension bottoms out and i go straight off the track. something in my lower right leg is screwed............. emts get me off the track and jeff, who was in my moto must have noticed the emts tending to me. he parks his bike and brings mine back to the trailer. im going Swift white, meaning not very good color. i decide lets go to the hospital. my mom is kind of frantic. she sees me do 1 1/2 laps and go straight to the hospital. hows that for a spode? mx547 asks you want me to load up? and i said nah we will be back. he wishes i would of said yes. i get to the hospital and they wisk me in. i got there before the gunshot and knife fight victims. my wonderful wife is taking care of me when i get a call saying mx547 is on his way to the hospital. i said why? he is hurt...............oh great! im laying in an er and my buddy just couldnt be outdone so he goes and does one up. doc is saying it looks pretty serious tx246 (he didnt really call me that) but his diagnosis wasnt very nice. partial tear of the achilles. :whiner: i get to go see my first orthopedic. xrays suck and they do them twice. yep its not broken. bout that time mx547 goes wheeling by in MY wheelchair. he gets his xrays but doesnt want to see the results he wants to avoid the graphics and just wants an oral presentation by Dr. Johnson. its bad.......multiple breaks and he is 240 miles from home. we get to talking about how and why and ill be @!@$$.........it was on the same lap and jump of his moto. its his right leg and my right leg :think: not only that he was in third when it happened to .........coincidence..i think not. we are chalking it up to bad mojo. it was the 13th afterall. we are currently wrapped from knee down and are sucking down vicadan like good'nplenty candy. he has been down this road before and now im in the "club". i dont like it at all. we are very greatful to jeff gilbert for loading all of our gear so my stepdad could drive the truck. hope you enjoy your trophy jeff........i heard it was pretty cool. we took the 1:30 am express in the mustang home from the hospital........ate all the hot dogs in the house...........and are on this damn computer! its 3:03am and we are going to gently set ourselves in a reclining position. :aj:
