Thanks to Ryan and the Doc for assessing me. And.. Kasberg for loading my trailer. Also thanks to all who came by to check on me and especially the guy who handed me a Bud Light!
I think this was it... I am now officially retired from Racing and maybe even riding. Too many previous injuries still haunting me and now I have added another back injury. I have got a great job, and lord knows those are hard to come by.
One last note. Thank god! I have on all my equipment. The chest protector keep the bars from going into my chest and cushioned the blow from the tire in my back. My leg would have been ripped off if not for the boots. The Leatte saved my neck as I felt my head snapped back-wards when the tire struck me in the back.
Again thanks to all... and I will stay in the sport by being race director and track prep dude. And.. of course supporting Gage.

Hey Ron-Ron, hope your doing ok, don't know the details but hope your making the best of it. Sounds like you must of took a pretty hard get off, you know, you and I have talked about this topic numerous times, at what point to ya call it quits, I hate to see ya stop but we all have to eventually, We have all said it 20 times before " I'm done" but we always seem to ease back in to it.......I am like you though, I have always said, when it becomes physically impossible to continue to race at a competitive level,even at the old mans level (haha), thats when I will stop. I wish you a quick recovery and hope to cya ya soon..........
