I left at 4PM and on the way back, I saw two accidents and a traffic stop. Some guy on a gray Katana? got pulled over by a Camero FHP. I know he got a ticket cause he was holding it in his hand.

Then a little further down, I saw a newer Black Gixxer 750 maybe or 1000 got into a wreck, possibly with a car. Not sure exactly what happened but the car had a messed up front and the bike still looked whole, except missing fairings. Wasn't many people around it, so I guess it got cleared up a little before I got there.

The worst accident, further down, it completely shut down I-4 in both directions. People were cutting across the median to find a different route. Not sure exactly what happened, but a helicopter was brought in to air lift somebody. After the helicopter left, cops finally let West bound traffic go and all I saw was two messed up cars, so I guess a fender bender between cars and no bikes involved.

It was a fun day, but I think the event was poorly coordinated. Shit took too long to happen. And things just started dragging a little. I left at 4PM and the Endo Comp. was still going on. They need to speed the events up a little better. How many times can we stare at a wheelie? I wanted to see the Tandem and Team events, but I didn't feel like staying anymore. Not a bad time though.
