MDR California 200 Night Race - 8/14/10

The larger tube works really well. You can swallow 4 beers down in only a few seconds. Wow that sounds bad.

Bet that will be quick! LOL

 

Yeah it does! Before there we're pull tabs, you know early 1900's, with a can opener ('church key') we would put a hole in a can of Duff beer, turn it upside down into your mounth and your buddy would put another in the top. That was a shot gun!

If you didn't open the top, cut the hole, place your finger over it, shake it and let the fun begin.

 

x3 People are spectators at their own risk. You can tell where the safe spots and unsafe spots are. We just need to use good judgement.

Off-road racing permits canceled for MDR

Events for a group that organizes off-road races in Imperial County have been suspended by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management after an accident in the Mojave Desert killed eight people and left a dozen injured.

Mojave Desert Racing, which sets up races in Plaster City, Barstow, Lucerne Valley and Ridgecrest, will not be permitted to run off-road races during the investigation of Saturday’s accident in Lucerne Valley, according to a press release from the bureau.

Eight spectators at Saturday’s California 200 off-road race were killed after a truck flipped onto them. Twelve more people were injured in the accident.

The next race by MDR was scheduled for Sept. 4 near Plaster City in Imperial County.

MDR representatives were not available for comment, though the group has issued press releases with condolences for those who were affected by the accident.

“MDR wishes to emphasize again that we were shocked and saddened by the tragedy at our race in Johnson Valley,” the company wrote on its Web site. “We grieve over the fact that those who perished or were injured were part of our off-road community and family. A number of the victims were our friends and we all feel a great loss.”

BLM officials did not return phone calls, but in a press release the bureau wrote that all future events scheduled, like this weekend’s American Motorcyclist Association race in Johnson Valley, are being reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

“BLM’s ongoing review will be aimed at ensuring the public safety remains our first priority,” according to the statement.

The fatal accident has left the off-road community reeling, said Paul Kirby, president of Roadrunner Racing, which puts on motorcycle races at Superstition Mountain.

“This is really a freak thing that has happened,” he said. “To the best of my knowledge this has never happened before in 40 years of racing down here.”

Locally, changes for permitting races may not have a big effect on off-road racing, but things could change, he said.

For upcoming races, like the Rattlesnake Chase scheduled for Sept. 19, the group has been told the permits would be scrutinized more and new safety standards may go into place, though Kirby said he didn’t know what those could be.
