Thanks Scott for the Update!
Professor Hill may be able to share with us memories of when we saw Barry Sheene fall on the front straight at Daytona at those same speeds, and how everybody was AMAZED that Barry both lived and raced again!
His crash (Barry Sheene) was the reason I Posted about the Metal Valve stem Caps. As you know, his tires deflated because the speed and certrifugal force pulled his tire vlave stems in and deflated his tires.
I am glad to see that this was more of a possible Aero problem as opposed to a tire problem!
Here is the last posts from the ECTA network.
" You are right, all is speculation. T.J. indeed does have a small bone in his foot broken and another in his hand. As of Sunday morning, Jim said he was doing fine. They were waiting for an orthopedist to check him out and decide when they could take him back to Richmond.T.J. actually was up and walking to the ambulance before the EMT could get to him. He'll be might sore and of course is bruiesed and scraped, but considering the event, he's in pretty good shape.
There are a lot of theories flying around, but they are only theories. Please don't
jump to conclusions.
Mom, Dad and sister are fine.
