Sad but true, as we had very nice ones before.

Shanghai Tianma F-3 track is regular open for free practice, but is not the safest and cleanest.
Their website lists their programming, but it is safer to call them as it is not always up to date, and there are often opportunities in between track events.
May I ask what you mean by its not the cleanest or safest? Is there a lot of fluid on the track or is their ambulance response just bad?

Ok for cars, but can be catastrophic for riders.
There is further no control on the technical state of cars and bikes.
Cars and bikes can run be leaking oil or coolant (no check on coolant), and there is hardly cleaning up of the track.
I experienced this first hand on a free track ride.
Coolant in the corner with unfortunate results.
And there is no ambulance or even medical personnel, and the nearest hospital refused to accept me (but that is an other story).

All that said, it is the only one we have right now, and it could be worse.
Everyone needs to check for himself.

Care to explain how it was teared off like that?

Was riding my Buell not fast at all during the session, and certainly not on the outlap I was in.
Back of the circuit (turn 4 for those who know), lost the front at probably 50km/h, perhaps even less, on coolant of the bike in front of me.
Totally not prepared (wrong), I was on my face before I even realized what happened.
Must have hold the bars (again, not prepared), the bars turned to the left during the fall, and the clutch handle squeezed the top off.
I stood up, knew all at once a lot was wrong (broke several ribs, fractured some more), but did not realize the finger thing till I saw the top of the glove laying on the tarmac.
Got it, looked at it, saw something inside, looked at the related finger ... well ...
I peeled the part out, put it in my mouth, jumped on one of the passing race bikes, went from the pits to the local hospital, only to be denied.
A friend of me drove me to the Huashan hospital in Shanghai, only to hear they could do nothing as is was smashed-up too much.
How about that for sucking a finger for 1 1/2 hour?
Good thing: if something like this happens, do it in China.
Doctors have loads of experience, and I must say he did an excellent job.
Cut an other centimeter of the bone as skin was missing, stitched it all up, and ready to go.
The ribs were the very painful part, the finger was actually nothing much to bother about, other then emotional stress for the wife.
On my way to the first hospital I called her, and told her my arm was off.
Thought that, if later telling her it was actually only a top of a finger, things should be not too stressful.... I am still waiting for forgiveness, even after almost 5 years ...
Pfieew, man..
I suppose one would've to be real snappy to let the handle bars go in the time it takes between 40+ degrees lean down to 90 degrees..
Also I dunno about ur arm story to ur wife man, I wouldn't have called mine and kept it all a not so shocking surprise till it's all under white (+ a bit of red) bandages..
Still, interesting story, thanks for sharing.
This local hospital denies u for that, what happens when u need a bigger part stitched back, wtf?
I had my own experience with a hand surgeon in China, St Luke hospital in Changning..
I opened a bottle of beer with another one, they were just out of the freezer, one broke in bevel and took off a chunk of meat from the thumb base till middle of the wrist, I looked for it on the ground but couldn't find, my bros found it the next day in the bottle, lol..
The guy did a great job, 1st stitch in the tendon which was hit but still holding, then over 30 stitches in 3 successive lines to close the gap, today both hands have the same shape, wonder how..
I talked with another hand surgeon who was following my case in Huashan (insurance paid), she told me they have over 2 dozen of them hand specialists in Huashan, as everyday local workers show up with exotic types of hand injury, so they have indeed huge experience here..
That is also a nice one :-(.
The local hospital denied me, I guess they were too afraid to even start it.
You know, foreigner, dressed in leathers, blood all over by that time, I don't know.
It ended up they shoved al kind of papers under my nose to be signed, as that was the most important.
I returned the favor to chop it with my missing finger ... like blood brothers.
I remember I needed to go back to the surgeon Mr. Zhang in the Huashan Hospital once a day for the first 10 days.
Every appointment he was late, every appointment he excused himself that he had yet an other horrible thing to repair.
He did up to the shoulder, and there were more then fingertops to be stitched back.
He also told me he went to Scandinavia for teaching every year for a month, as surgeons there got one such experience in a year max.
Yeah, definitely; loose a limb, do it in China.
Wow, not sure if that was a good idea. Funny, but not nice.Quote:

I still think the glove / fingertop was flattened between the 200kg of falling bike's bar end, and the tarmac.
I don't think an other glove should have made any difference in this case.
WOW. That is a crazy story... I had to read the whole damn thread to figure it out. How much did it end up costing you tofix your finger? nothing?Quote:
