I was in the stands and saw that crash happen- it was nasty! Everyone see the pictures?

What's interesting is that about two hours before that we were talking to Ben's mechanic and he said the NJ track was nice but the problem was that the grass was rough and even lowsides resulted in massive damage due to the bike catching and cartwheeling. He was right because this crash started out as a smooth lowside. A friend of mide was in the pits after the race when they brought the bike back and said it was utterly destroyed.

I just spoke to an insider friend of mine this weekend (spent yesterday at the track). Turns out the crashes were not entirely Ben's fault. Looks like there was a setting issue and a disagreement with certain mechanics and such. Its a low low stuff so I won't say much about it except that Bostrom was pissed off at somebody else about the crashes; and you guys are privy to it here on powerslide. (benefits of having members who know some people in the paddock).

Unlike 2M&AC this is part of racing and riding...
