the track is in waynesburg, ohio and its a practice-only type deal. it happend this past sunday--
i heard a kid was on a dirtbike coming down the backstretch after the big ski jump and he lost it over one of those small jump/tables....this is a fast part of the track and its fairly easy the 2nd small jump throws me weird on my 400 but ive never ridden a dirtbike on the track there... - im not too sure of any of the details - i heard his bell helmet cracked open in 3 places - died on impact
anyone else know about this incident? its a terrible thing - the tracks been open 4 years and this is the first death. Rich, the track owner, and i were talking about 3 weeks ago how they have been wanting to change that section of the track because it is not visible from where the pits are at because its not if the accident happens, its when it happens. this is really ironic, and scary too...yes its an aggressive track but its always seemed safe to me....this is a real shocker to me....
