Crazy Track Day @ Pembrey ending in near death !!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbvu9NZhGQI&feature=player_embedded#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)

holy baggeeebaz! crash fest. 2 on the 1st turn  [laugh] those guys were out for a stupid fest.

I know, and it was only a track day!

The last few seconds was scary shit. One of moves that freaks me the most when riding in a pack.

Some track days define stupid fest... ;D

True.

I know i've made some questionable passes at track days but never anything like that.

I know trackdays are not races, but everyone knows as well as I do that when you get out there you want to get around people.

But that last part of the video gives me chills.  I'd love to know why that other rider ended up cutting in front like that.

Too hot is my guess, and maybe some target fixation as well.

But still.

Damn.

Whoa!!!  :o

1:38 was a really scary moment

Damn close.....

WTF is going on out there that one rider captures that much video of crashing/near crashing?!?  If I witnessed half of that carnage, I'd immediately pull in and call it a day (after asking the folks running the trackday WTF is going on out there).

The first crash looked like some guys trying to be heros on cold tires.  The second almost crash looked like some guy trying to be a hero for the camera behind him.  The third almost-crash right at the end was just FUBAR!

Wow! That was unbelievably scary!! I think I could make out the vehicle ID number as the bike flew past. :P It was that close! How in God's green earth did they not collide and go down? Nothing but bike carnage in that video. [bang]

Note to self:

Never go to a track day with those nuts  :o

I'd bet the last near-miss had to have been, not noticing there was a turn. He was going dead straight at that little outlet by the building and wide open throttle it looked.

That's the kind of thing that makes me want to carry a side arm  [laugh]

Never know, maybe his throttle stuck open. . .

That was a high concentration of dumb right there.   :P

That is why when I go to a track day, I'll be ordering my new leathers in Brown.  :o

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

[laugh] [laugh]

...what happens when when morons and intermediate stickers mix.

(It looks a lot like a pretty typical NESBA event ;D)

If one rider catches 1 crash and 2 near-disasters, how much more is happening?
I'd have been on the way home after 1/2 a session with these tards.

That last near miss would have made me shit myself.  That's the kind of stuff that makes you contemplate life.

Maybe they need more tards...things would at least be slower ;D

Riding on the track is safer than the street?

mitt

theoretically, yes.

But you can never allow for the make the beast with two backswit Factor  :P

absolutely!

That was one disorganized track day! those guys were racing.

10 pounds of stupid in a 2 pound bag ;D

Really? Because after 2 crashes in 1 sessions, Tom and Carol (co directors of the Mid-Central) shut everything down to have a reiteration of the riders meeting as well as reiterate some things that should not have been going on.
And the 2 days I did with the mid-West group up at Road America were nothing like that video...
Maybe your region sucks ass but your region being mismanaged is no reason to label the whole organization and it's riders. Some of us actually ARE out there to improve our skills in a safe and controlled manner.

And you obviously haven't done a Sportbike Track Time or Track Addix event...  ;)

That cracks me up! [laugh] Can I buy the rights to use that? [clap] [thumbsup]

 ;D That vid was entertaining.....gotta love natural selection  [thumbsup]

Good GOD! I blinked and jerked my head back just from watching the video!
