I'm posting this here for a friend on SCCX. He's coordinating a fund raising effort for two friend's killed in last week's racing accident at the MDR California 200.
From Elliott:
As you have probably heard by now of the tragic event that took place on Saturday August 14, 2010 In Lucerne Valley, CA during the MDR California 200 off-road race. Unfortunately 8 people lost their lives and many more were injured. When one of the off road racing trucks lost control and flipped over into the crowd.
