Inside the Virtual Rush. This is one evil handling machine. Give me a windscreen any day! |

Feb.10 2002 - Not a good date by any means really. This is at the Las Vegas motor speedway and this was my first
attempt in the Virtual Rush and the weather did not cooperate. By the time I started the winds were up to 20 in
gusts. Two 50+ mph crashes later we decided to abort. This photo shows the damage from crash #1. |

This is May 4th 2002 at the California speedway. Gardner and Mac prepare the VR as I try and stretch my hamstings
so early in the morning....about 6am. |

Gabe and Gardner watch as I climb into the coffin...I mean Virtual rush |
 |
The VR at speed during our 1 hour attempt. I did cover 46+ miles and for the first time had for the most part a
trouble free ride. |
 |
Even though I had lots of room...it sure didn't look that way through the video screen. To make matters worse,
on every lap the rising sun in turn two almost completely washed out the contrast in the video monitor leaving
me blinded for several seconds. |

How the hell this photo get in here! Oh well, yea I crashed it on my cool down lap....my arm was to tired to pull
the gear down and as I pulled it down, I bobbled the bike and down we went at about 25 mph. Ok, so lets recap the
crashes in this pig A 64mph crash..you can see the video of this one, three 50+ mph crashes, 45mph, 25mph and I
ran over Gardner at the local velodrome knocking him to the ground. Before you think I've lost it, most of these
crashes were all wind related....except for the Gardner thing....that was his fault! |
 |
Gabe and Mac pick me up as my whole family looks on. That thin line of fluid is my sweat that has pooled in the
bottom and leaking from the seams in the bike |
 |
I can honestly say Tanya looks a lot better than anyone else in there. |
