AMA The crash in the Mid-Ohio FX race...

...looked all too similar to the Craig Jones crash. Thank goodness Garrett Carter came out okay, apparently with just a concussion. And I was blown away by the skill of Danny Eslick to avoid running over Carter's head. Did you see that? Eslick somehow managed to wheelie the bike, while leaned over in the turn, and maneuver the front wheel away from hitting Carter. Very impressive.

There was certainly no way that Andrew Pitt could have done a similar maneuver, from what I saw, carrying the kind of speed they were. Different situation. I just thought Eslick's bike control was brilliant.

I searched and couldn't find any. Hopefully someone will post some up. I saw it on the SPEED broadcast.
