That's true, he did pass away. Such a tragedy. His family and friends will be in our prayers.

I heard his dad was arrested for 'child endangerment' when he returned from the hostipal. Anyone know if this is true? If it is it is just wrong.

[Atkins]

Did the kid die on the track?

[Harvey]

Goodman is missing in the overall....

[ATP195]

I do not know if there is any truth to Mr. Griffins arrest, what I will say is as a father.....my heart was at my feet watching him pace back and forth on the Track as they tryed to revive his son!

That is a vision that will long live in my head!

[Johnny & Monica]

Sorry I went back and put Goodman in the overall.

Lastest news on Lysinger is that he will be fine. Initially he had lost some feeling or had numbness in his legs and arms and things were looking bad but the feeling is returning. That's good to know.

God speed Zak

[mattinglyquadmx]

From what I "heard", he and a fellow racer were going over a double when the other riders atv landed on top of him, crushing his chest.

He will surely be missed in this close knit atv racing community. God speed!

[camsdad]

my thoughts and prayers go out to the griffin family..i know putting my son on the race track this morning was the hardest thing i've had to do as a parent and the longest 4 lap moto ever....its very difficult to think of loosing a loved one but god has a plan for everyone......

[Jersey450R]

My prayers go out to his family.

excuse me..? donny is one of my good friends and if he was seriously hurt like we thought he was, i wouldnt be the one who blabbed it on here, sorry if i offended you. think before you speak young man.

[Ripitupfilms]

so what happened to him i would like to know

[fasterz]

he crashed hard and when they went to help him he said he didnt have feeling in some parts of his body which indicated spinal damage usually but after a few minutes he was moving around and doing ok but they took him out to give him a check up. Hes fine and should be racing at the next national.

haha

i thought he broke his arm. are you allowed to ride in a cast

[blasterkid]

hes is doing fine.. i called him on his phone yesterday and he sounded fine... as for racing, hes done. he told me he cant afford to race any more due to him having a family and such, with his little boy on the way its not worth the risks.

[Jersey450R]

donny is done racing?! :eek: did you see his new rig he just bought!

[baker250r]

Originally posted by Over-land 450r

I did last summer...

[YamaWarr0121]

he's not done, he's just gonna chill down in georgia for the week with his wife and unborn child and friends mike brown and dee mansheck utilizing the time as a vacation instead of practice for georgia. He'll be in echeconnee but won't be racing this round so he can get a little less shaken up. That new rig is pretty nice isn't it, he bought it from a fellow racer Tait. Everyone seemed to be switchin up trailers and such.

[Over-land 450r]

thats cool. he spent way to much just to give up.

[Ripitupfilms]

if you had a child on the way and getting hurt every once in a while youd quit too..

THis is Zak's Dad...Scott Griffin..Just to put to bed any rumors that are floating around...I was not arrested...there was never even a mention of it as far as I know.

Thank God you didn't get arrested. When I head that it may have happened I got really upset knowing that it could have happen.

Thank you for clearing that up Scott.
