Wow! What a small world this moto community is! I did a little searching on the AMA Dist 17 site where they have all the results from every race in IL from 2000-2010. It looks like our paths crossed for exactly 1 moto and 3/4 of a lap! Byron May 1st 2005 

I'm guessing I would have been pretty close to you in the 1st moto, but don't remember exactly where I placed. I remember the 2nd moto well though. I got a terrible start and was trying to make up for it all on the 1st lap. At the very back corner of the track there was a long sweeping semi-offcamber left hander that apexed at a tree then lead to a wall jump. I tried sweeping up the inside of Steve Fry, but realized at the last second that: 1 - I wasn't going to complete the pass, and 2 - our lines were coming together on the face of the jump. I slammed on the brakes to cut behind him, and thought I had plenty of room, but I think he realized he was going to fast for the jump and slammed on the brakes too. I didn't count on that. My front tire hit his back as we went in the air, and I got way off to the right side of the bike. Out of instinct, I stuck my leg out to save it. Which I did...
Then came the massive burning sensation in my leg. I looked down to see my foot pointing the wrong way. I rode the bike off to the side of the track and started asking people to get a medic since I had just broken my leg. They were confused. I am still amazed at the job that doctor did putting my leg back together at whatever hospital they took me to in Rockford.
The next year, we were helping a kid out of my dads shop that was getting really good in Supermoto, so I took the opportunity as well and followed the full AMA Pro series on the semi-official Husaberg team run out of our shop. The dream of "going pro" in moto had long since expired, but this was another opportunity to live the dream.
