On Saturday at the Drag Races my group was sitting up on the gill behind the strip, I turned around just in time to see a DS get tangled up, but I never found out how it happened. Was it any one in here?

DSmike was taking Scooby's turbo for a test ride and it turned into a monster and ate him up.

I'm really sorry to hear about DSMike getting hurt. I hope he will be all right.

Heal up quick and complete Mike.

Believe it or not, I'm sorry to hear about Scoobies bike getting torn up also. Hope it's not too bad. I often loan out my bike for test rides and worry about it getting crashed like that. Fortunatly for me, I don't have that sort of power to worry about.

Scooby passed out watching his quad wreck. Thank goodness 3 blondes with 36d's knew CPR were close by. His quad will ride again. Early damage estimate, DSmike 6500 dollars (doctors), Scooby 4000 dollars. Everyone will heal and be allright. It was a unforunate accident and many will learn from it. After the wreck the throtle was stuck wide open for 30 seconds before DS crawled over and turn it off. Note to my self- get a kill switch.

Well, I saw the wreck, and from what I could gather was it was possably a stuck throttle. Scooby runs with a thumb-throttle extender, I don't know if this was the problem, nor do I think we will ever really know. I don't think Scooby ,or Dsmike can tell you for sure what happened. (it happened, SO fast)

All I can tell ya is that DSmike never got out of first gear,but DID NOT dump the clutch! He started out good with alittle bobble, quickly controlled by DSmike, then DSmike applied some serious throttle, and the next thing you know is Scooby's "BEAST" totally body-slams DSmike(straight back)!!!!!!!

This was a 10-15mph wreck ,but the Backward force of Scooby's handle bars caught DSmike by the shins,and broke his right leg/anckle,and serverly cut and bruised the other leg. Dsmike was not tangled up with the quad at all, it was one quick blow!

Everyone who knows DSmike, Knows that he is a GREAT! rider, this is why Scooby asked him to ride his quad in the first place(and I mean ONLY him) Scooby trusts his ability to handle powerful quads. It was VERY unfortunate that this ACCEDENT happened, because IMO, I think the combination of DSmike and Scooby's BEAST! great things are to come.
