We are contacting various riders and their sponsors to ask them to bring a few extra things with them so we can have an auction and send all of the proceeds to the hurricane victims, most likely through the American Red Cross. The original plan was to do something for Team USA, but the situation with the people in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other areas has to take precedence now.

It was something else to see how the great fans of motocross responded in to our national emergency in this time of need. With the attendance down due to the gas prices and our amateur races being cut back, we were amazed with the amount of money we were able to raise.
