This Sunday the 16th we will be having an open ride at Hyline Raceway in Bozeman with all proceeds going to Troy Hickman's recovery. As many of you out there know already Troy seriously was hurt on practice day on the August 18th. He suffered a bruised C-3/4 causing partial paralysis of his extremities. Well, good news is Troy is on the long road to recovery but the outlook is good so far. The bad news is Troy is self employed and his lost income and adding up medical bills will be huge. Troy has been a rider and a member of the MX community in Montana and the Bozeman area for 20+ years. Many know him as a just down to earth nice guy. Very quiet but always has a smile on his face. Troy is the type of person that would honestly take the shirt off his back for you. This is a way that we can hopefully give back to a great friend to many in the sport.
Open ride Sunday the 16th will start at 11am and run till dusk. All GVDR members and season pass holders will be charged $10 and general public $20 per rider. Whatever the gate fees add up to the GVDR will double that to donate to Troy. So please if you can make it come on out and have some fun. Bring a friend and make an afternoon of it.
See ya at the track, Ryno

Helena will be having a race this Sunday with all the procedes goin to Troy Hickman to aid in his recovery. The club agreed to give at least a thousand dollars but the hope is to have a big enough turn out at the race to give even more. Should be real easy to get to one of these tracks this weekend to ride/race for Troy.
