Bster13 Went Down @ Louden
Heard about it on the TPM board...Hes got a concusion, few broken ribs and a punctured lung, they say hes going to be ok though...Damn, when it rains...it pours...Louden is living up to its tale of being a dangerous track I s'pose...Speedy recovery Bryce!

Without knowing the actual causes, one issue that comes to mind is that this w/e was exceptionally hot out. The heat can play funcky tricks on ya out there.Dehyration sets in real easy and you don't know you're dehydrated until its to late.

Heres a little update as to what happened...a rider who was behind Bryce when it happened said that after exiting the bowl and passing under the tree Bryce's rear tire stepped out. The bike went into a violent tank slapper for about 20 ft or so (must have been a lifetime to him). This is a very fast section. His tire marks on the track are classic to tank slap marks. The marks end and then proceed towards the wall on riders left. The bike hit the wall and tossed Bryce over the tire wall and sent his bike back onto the track.
Again...speedy recovery man.

Not true....."old" tires get greasy after they heat up. I just did a 200mi race at Summit Point (70+ laps for me & only stopping for water & gas) in temps over 100 degrees and I did not experience any greasy tires.
Regardless, heal up.

What compound(s)? It's possible whatever tire you're running never got out of its temp range. Once a tire is run beyond its temp range it can/will start to break down giving you a "greasy" feel.

Super Soft front, soft rear.
As for running it beyond it's temp range?? I doubt anyone at a track day (and even most club race days) is over riding their tires and over heating them. If your tires are getting greasy, it's because they have been heat cycled to death.
What was the situation behind his tires? They are slicks in the pic. Were they new? How many heat cycles have they been thru? Are they take offs? What kind of lap times was he running at NHIS? (just asking to see if he is over riding/over heating them)

Not exactly sure of the particulars but I hear ya on the heat cycles part...that definitly plays a big part as well. Hopefully once Bryce feels up to it, he'll be able to give us some input.
