Approaching turn 10, grabbed a handful of brake, down-shifted into 5th, tipped it in, and found myself sliding to the dirt.

Race was red-flagged (sorry about that) and I got to see the inside of Chico trauma center for the first time (first time visiting Chico as well). Doctor says slight fracture on my clavicle and a dislocation. No need for surgery. I'm OK and I was able to drive all the way back to the south bay that afternoon without issue. Still working a heavily bruised knee but in general I'm not too sore.
I was braking quite hard and I think I locked the front wheel as I was turning in which I believe is the cause of the crash. Curious to get other people's thoughts?
Would anybody behind me at that race also have footage? Looking for skid marks or something if it can show up on video.
