off road tragedy

[beyond the band]

Saturday August 14 2010 Lucerne Valley Ca.
MDR held their annual California 200 night race. A driver flipped his truck and 8 spectators were killed and 10 injured. There are links out there but I won't post them here. This day will change off road racing in California forever. Nobody knows how or what but changes will come.

I have raced this course for years and know the spot known as the rockpile very well. Something like this was bound to happen when the spectators get so close.



Fast Aid is raising money to help the families. If you can help, please do.

As soon as I saw this on the news I immediately thought of you, and figured you probably knew someone involved. Tragic situation, and hopefully it doesn't hurt your sport to much.

Sierra Club is trying to use it to push their agenda but the BLM isn't going to put up with it. There will be some changes in Offroad racing though.
