11th Annual Kurt Caselli Ride Day
A
n almost summer-like day at Fox
Raceway provided a welcome
respite from the early winter that has
gripped much of the country.
However, that's not what led Jack
Maki to drive from Minnesota for a week
of racing, which included the previous
weekend's Day in the Dirt at Glen Helen
Raceway, and to see what the 11th an
-
nual Kurt Caselli Ride Day was all about.
Among the many attendees this year
was professional motocrosser Marvin
Musquin, who's taken part in several
Kurt Caselli Ride Days. He said, "He [Ca-
selli] was a big, big role model for the
young kids but even for me, when I was
in my early 20s when I met him. What
he accomplished—like I said—on and
off the bike was unreal! I have so much
respect for [the desert and rally racers].
What he's done is unbelievable.

The Gus Riordan (7) and
Kai Aiello (11) teams
battled throughout the
KC66 Team Challenge, with
a late-race pass letting
Riordan and teammate
Ryan Reina add their
names to the perpetual
trophy.

There's always plenty
of activities for the
kids, like the Stacyc
demo rides.
