9th Annual Kurt Caselli Ride Day Another
Success
N
ow in its ninth edition, the
Kurt Caselli Ride Day,
Presented by Rocky Mountain
ATV-MC, saw hundreds of racing
stars, fans, friends and family
gather at Fox Raceway in Pala,
California, December 4, for a day
of fun while continuing to raise
funds for the Kurt Caselli Founda-
tion's (KCF) mission of protecting
and supporting the lives of off-
road riders. It was, once again, a
fitting way to honor his legacy.
Among the day's highlights
was the announcement of the
most recent scholarship winners:
Grant Kawell, Mitchell Owenby
and Eric Yorba. Each will receive
$2500 to aid in furthering their
education. Mark Milson won the
one-off Caselli Edition 2021 KTM
350 XC-F, while the Johnny Gir-
roir/Eric Yorba duo topped the
Team Challenge ISDE Special
Test competition—Girroir the first
back-to-back winner of the event.
A couple dozen vendors as
well as food trucks, Husqvarna's
Stacyc demo rides, USMCA
(U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Asso-
ciation) instruction for beginners,
raffles, plus open riding on the
Vet and Pro MX tracks, as well
as an extended off-road loop,
made for a great time enjoyed by
all. While the total amount raised
won't be calculated for some
time, it appears to be substantial
and will be announced on the
KCF website at KurtCaselli.com.
The MotoDoffo/KCF winery
event is the next fundraiser on
the schedule so mark your calen-
dars for June 11, 2022.
