When I have a big crash that leaves me unconcious I always awake to feel super refreshed, relaxed and calm like ive slept for a week, even if I cant even recall my name or where I live. Always baffles me why I never feel like a train wreck. Is this just the bodys normal reaction to a head trauma? Is this what most experience? I thought survival mode would kick in and make me run forrest run away from the track, but no.

Next lap around they had him strapped to a stretcher and was carrying him away, he then got a MRI and he got a brain hematoma so he cant actually ride anymore, well he can but if he hits his head again he might end up losing his sight and generally become a vegetable i guess.
He has no memory from two weeks back prior to the crash, so he has no idea what he did
My last concussion was when I was still a teen. My braces cut into my lips pretty badly. I remember feeling that as soon as I came to!
It was a genuine post race day question. Its happened to me four times. Just intrigued with why I felt good after a blackout, obviously until the 10 minute delayed pain kicks in when your leg has snapped like a kitkat etc....
Must be when the adrenaline and endorphine rush has subsided or just grateful to be back. Its one of those things that is always at the back of my mind, especially as I get older.
One in '89 was the kind of feeling OP described. I was KO'd, then somehow got back up and walked my bike off the track. Nothing else injured.
Didn't know where I was, who I was, when it was (like year!) but somehow felt relaxed and not anxious. 30 minutes later the world came back.
I remember everything leading up to the crash, but I don't remember hitting the ground. When I came to, my shoulder started hurting (it was separated.)
It's a trip being knocked out; not at all like sleeping. I seriously have zero account of the time that elapsed while I was unconscious.

Still raced. Didn’t know any better. Paying the price now.
