I also almost lost my life, when a young rider made an random exit off the small track and we meet with brutal force, I drive myself to the hospital do to the lack of concern from officials Broken shoulder also catscan for internal bleeding.
This happen at 12.45 the same day. I am a veteran rider at the age of 57, Riders were arriving at all day to ride, NO RIDERS MEETINGS, Flag workers in plane clothes , Not even safety vests, Spectators threw out the track, Enter and exits as a free for all,No run groups, Sure thats a lot of fun , But all riders need to Know the rules of the owners policy.
