Saw one crash - pic (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc54/biffbradford/cycling/Track/TrackCRash1.jpg). He hit his head, broke his helmet, but they said that he looked okay. Quite literally, he got the snot knocked out of him - pic (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc54/biffbradford/cycling/Track/TrackCRash2.jpg). I was across the track and I couldn't quite see it on the camera. Was thinking maybe his glasses slipped down. Nope. I always thought that was just an expression, but I guess there's truth behind them all. :o

It was a good time as always.
