I did. Most amazing thing was that the #1 suzuki was fixed and looked as new within 20 minutes

They replaced, wheels, silencers, swing arm, all the body work and probably a whole lot of other stuff.

Did you see the crash when the race was neutralized? Very odd. Seemed that a locked up rear brake caused the accident. Good thing it didn't lock up at race speed.

I never was a fan of endurance racing, but now I am. What about the #17 BMW crash? Learned from the pelican boys it was damaged: top triple (?) was broken, bike couldn't be pushed back to the pit. Rules say the rider must push it back on its own.

I don't think i've ever seen a crash like the Jackson, works Suzuki thing,Suzuki comes in shot tumbling over followed by a pile of bits(Jacksons bike) literally!!! and when eveything had come to a standstill a steaming front wheel dropped into the picture from above,sureal.
