    Yes let Tony and John Ulrich know as well and you could be featured in Roadracing World!
    Then again maybe that's what Tonys thinking of. Regardless, I thank all of you who have donated to either the RRW fund or any fund that increases the safety of our chosen addiction.

    Many of us watched Zach Kinzler crash in turn one at PPIR
    during the same weekend Aaron Clark crashed in turn
    one (I saw the whole event with Aaron as well).
    Obviously Aaron missed the air fence, hit the wall, and
    nearly lost his life.
    Zach got the very end of the air fence and was able to get up
    and walk away. My heart felt like it stopped as I saw Zach sliding
    toward that wall, I couldn't tell if he was going to hit the wall
    or the fence. He ground off a piece of his ass the diameter of a
    baseball. Otherwise was OK. I thanked The Lord for that air
    fence that day.

    I was standing in turn one at PPIR when Zach crashed and hit the air fence that day too. It was the longest most terrifying slide I've ever witnessed. Watching him get up and walk away I've never felt more relieved.

    I've lost count of the number of times I've seen people tag the bag and walk away. Probably 100+ crashes over the years.
