Get well soon guys.
We saw Ralph's wreck from our pit. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was livid and ready to punch the dude in the mouth so I suggested to Foti that someone have a talk with the rider and make damn sure he fully understood just how stupid a move that was. I went back to my pit to calm down, I was ready to puke. Foti later told me that the rider was really sorry and beating himself up over it. Whatever. Still pisses me off to think about it.

The rider that took me out knows he was wrong and sincerely feels bad about the crash. BUT, He has a reputation as a dirty racer and has done this in the past. It's inexusable to ride that aggressively at a track day...

Ralph, knowing his reputation and inexcusable actions during a track day, could he be not allowed to ride with the club anymore? Not only were you another rider, but staff to boot.This is a general question really...like what would it take for a rider to be black listed from a club? Has it ever happened?

Exactly. At best, it was very stupid. At worst, it was very dirty.

It's really sad to see that 1 asshole f'ed up so many people's trackday. I'm no trackday expert,only been doing them for 6 yrs., but my take on trackdays is that we are all there for the same reason. We are there to hone our riding skills,in a SAFE, fun environment. We are there to have a good time with friends, not see how many people we can piss off or offend. Most of us , well, atleast I have a wife and daughter at home and a job to return to. If some fucktard hits me on the track, causing serious injury to me, who is going to pay my bills, explain to my wife and daughter to make them understand how and why this happened, work my job? If the person in question has a history of this type of behavior, they should not have the right to ride with said organization. Allowing him/her to return would be condoning their behavior. All the clubs I ride with stress smooth and SAFE, not reckless and dangerous. This post in no way insinuates that TPM is a dangerous or reckless club, or condones this behavior.
As for all the fellow trackday riders who have had the unfortunate experience of crashing at VIR, I hope for a fast and full recovery!!

Unfortunately not everybody has this outlook. I am there to ride better, and push myself and the bike further than the street will allow me to do safely. There are some people out there that are very aggresive and actually get upset if they get passed. I don't really care what anybody else around me is doing, as long as they are doing it safely. |
