Can't really tell either. It looks like he might of crossed the centerline, although i'm not sure how a foam timing box would wipe him out. Maybe he was distracted by the Stang? At our track bikes are not allowed to race with cars for that reason, getting run over by a bike can't be as bad as a car. lol.

I think the mustang was getting in the bike's lane and the guy on the bike grabbed too much front brake.

or he could have hit a slick spot of the track? I have had the rear of my old bike slap around on me when the street was cold and so where my tires, maybe on the high rpm upshift he spun the tire in the slick spot and Baam your on the ground?

It seems pretty obvious IMO that he dumped the bike on purpose in case something with the car happend...

Looks like he grabbed the front brake. If you look close you can see a puff of smoke right before he lay's it over. Maybe he mistaked it for the clutch.

yeah....he came out of it as soon as the car hit the ground...you can hear it..and also see his brake light come on. My guess is either something came out from under the car when it came down (fluid...or an object) or he was worried the car was going to loose it.

The Mustang did veer towards the bike's lane and you can see something bounce across the track into the right lane on about the Mustang's 3rd or 4th bounce.

That's gotta suck. Looks like he scraped off a good 100 feet worth of bike!
