Pretty sure he said he was waiting on confirmation as well, but it was an insurance issue. Wonder if the December race will move.So it's true!

Hope not. Loved that place.Is Rusty's gone forever?
My last Sticks visitlol, I'm sure it hasn't seen as much use. That said, pretty sure he'll use the same old trails.
Nice.My last Sticks visit
Can't imagine anywhere around here that won't be dusty right now! lol. Hot and dry.Anyone got some idea of how the course was today? Couldn’t make it out due to work, but looking at tomorrow assuming it wasn’t a dust bowl.
Come on, tell us more! Course? Your son ok?Not necessarily a dust bowl, but it was pretty dusty today. First half of first lap visibility was tough. We definitely need rain. Had fun, though!
Yessir!Come on, tell us more! Course? Your son ok?
Thanks. It’s minor, and will be fine shortly. He’s 14, and his minor pain/legit injury barometer isn’t as finely tuned as those of us who have decades of pain accrued through a well lived life. He’s already frothing for McMahon and kicking himself for not continuing yesterday.Well, glad it's not worse than that! I can only imagine the anxiety seeing your boy on bottom of the pile! Sounds like a great rise from you afterwards.
[edit: spElink.. ][...]My son was at the bottom, holding his leg. Crap.
I pulled off and carried him into the woods to assess. Long story short, he went down in a corner and his right foot got trapped under the bike and twisted at a bad angle, spraining the ankle. The pops and pain probably scared him more than anything, as it isn’t too bad, but it’s his first real sprain.

That was my boy. Crazy how the YouTuber caught the exact moment. Kudos to Mr. Bilby for concerning himself and alerting the sweepers. I owe the man.I think there might be video of this accident! I was watching random youtube vids posted from the Saturday race and I saw one where what I assumed to be a young man fall and look to be cradling a leg. Was he wearing red?.. I think the rider in the vid I saw was wearing red, though I often wind up rabbit-hole'ing through several videos, I may be mis-remembering the colors.
It looked like he was in a fair bit of pain. I'm glad to hear y'all report it isn't a terrible injury.
I'll try to find the video link, but surely it's one of the TORCS regulars that posts videos. There's a half dozen folks that have them up usually by mid-day Sunday. Since I couldn't go to this race as I'm still re-happing my shoulder, I was feverishly surfing vids to get a view of the race. I'm prob 95% now, I could've gone, but figured I'd give the shoulder every chance to recover before my next race.
I also figured it would be a 'duster' like Cole's and I wasn't looking fwd to eating that much dust again, lol. Being a backmarker like me means a steady diet of Earth's finest dust! LOL
