From what I read in Harlen's write up from the latest MX National , he is done with racing . Seems he had an accident at the previous round that left him temporarilly paralized from the neck down and gave him quite a scare since he has a wife and a child ( or a child on the way) ... I can't remember which it is . A major accident can sometimes be an eye opener for some people ... I'm guessing that's what happened with him ...there's more to life than just racing.

Spader only took a break to go back to college and get a physical therapy master's degree. Lysinger probably won't be back for a while after a scare like that with a new family and all..

Sadly it looks like his pro racing career is ended for now. He said its a break but we wont know for sure. Personally i thought he was the nicest pro. I still remember congraduatling him on his decision to turn pro. Hes got some other things going on in his life that are important though. Hopefully well see him back soon!:macho He always puts on a good show at the local races around here im gonna miss it.

Haha ditto, I ate some of his roost at NJORVP last year. Busted a tie rod on my raptor and he hooked me up in 10 minutes. I hope he gets better.

Last year at Red Bud while walking though the pits I stopped to take pics of his quad and had a chance to talk to him. I have to say he is one of the nicest racers I 've ever met. Good Luck in the future Don.

You know, I certainly can't blame him. If I were faced with the fear that I might be paralyzed....then given a second chance at NOT being paralyzed......with a new family to support......you bet I'd be doing the same thing. Good luck to him !!!!
