Here's a wrap up on the Veteran's Day ride at Elsinore. Remind me never to ride a track on Veteran's Day again! It looked like a elementary school field trip at the zoo. Not that I mind having the little guys and gals riding around. I think it's great but the parents were letting the kids race through the parking lot causing havic. It's hard enough watching for trucks and cars but the little 60's pop up like daisies under your feet.
All in all, it was a nice day. I found MXdad over by the 50 track with his little guy. We rode a lap or so on the main track but I had to pull off. I sprained my ankle when I overjumped the front tabletop. No crash but I tweaked my ankle pretty good. Dad had his crash too. I told him he crashed becasue his tractor was pulling around a 10' section of metal pipe! The evidence was still on the ground behind his Suburban.
It must have been the weather because two 60 riders crashed on separate occasions on the 60-80 track. One was knocked out and both ended up being transported to the hospital. I hope they both fair out OK.
A rough day at the Elsinore track, and seeing the little guys crash makes you slow down a bit. I'd have a tough time seeing my little girl laying unconscious on the dirt too. Parents, please watch your kids closely and for God's sake, don't push them so hard that they crash trying to live your dreams.
My prayers go out to those little ones hurt yesterday and also to the family that lost the 14 year old out in Ocotillo. If you didn't hear, the boys father crashed into him and he died at the hospital.
Alot of tragedy these past couple of days, we definately have to pull together in times like this.
