Have any of you guys ever run at the track in steele, alabama? Sunday a kid on a crotch rocket broke the 1/4 beams without his bike. Short pants a tee shirt and tennis shoes trip the beams at 130 mph! He was transported by helicopter to birmingham. His butt cheeks were folded down to the back side of his knees and held on by about 1 inch of skin. They said he had 3rd degree burns on over 60 percent of his body.

It would seem that leathers would be mandatory.
I suspect some rule changes in the future for the crotch rocket weekend warriors. And with good cause.
Dont know his name, but keep him in your prayers. It was really ugly
