Default Houston guys get in here

Y'all come out to Motorsport Ranch in Angleton this weekend for some CMRA endurance and sprint action. Were chasing 4 class titles with 2 races to go and we would love to have some new fans come out!

Better that y'all didn't come out, Sundays sprints turned out a disaster. 2 bad crashes and 3 good men and friends on helicopters heads to Hermann... We did finish second in both races we entered in, secured a Big Bike Endurance championship though

Really sucks when you get pitched off. 10 years since my R1 spit me off in 13 at TWS. Two surgeries on the clavicle. Picked it up and road it back to the pits...adrenaline is cool until it exits

The riders OK? Maybe next time I'll see you guys.

Derek Wagnon is the rider that I'm close to who was run over, his right foot is still I jeopardy.

Guillermo Gonzales is the rider that went over Derek and then went down hard, he is still unresponsive last I heard.

Say a prayer for those boys!

TWS is on my **** list, hate that track. That said, we'll be there in 3 weeks

Lots of speed down that front straight. One of our buddies discovered the culvert out there in the field past one and two. Got lucky as hell. He still talks about remembering nothing but having it pinned on the straight then waking up in the hospital. I always had trouble keeping it pinned all the way to turn 1's braking point off the apron, 4, 3, 2, 1...hell with it off the gas!

Post here if you hear anything on the two brothers.

it was Derek's left foot that was really bad, they've done several surgeries already and it's looking much better for him. I'll be a long road back but he's tough, I have no doubt he will work hard to be back on top.

Guillermo is making a lot of progress the last few days according to a post from his son on facebook!

That is great. Derek will ache the rest of his days.

I hope Guillermo bounces back. I can visualize the superman he probably did after hitting Derek.
