We will need help with volunteer flaggers and anyone willing to do something. I have people lined up already to help, but anyone willing to help is much appreciated.

Details are unfolding daily...will keep posting updates.

Yes Sir, Joc is retiring after this season. Also anyone interested in mail order can do so. Just p.m. me and i will get you the info. thank you.
 
Turn out is looking great! Kids 5 and under are free. If you can't make it to Malvern, you can purchase them at Kames Sports after this weekend. If you can't make it to either, then pay at the gate. If your able to purchase tickets, please do, it is mainly so i know how much food to get. If your planning on coming but can't purchase tickets, please let me know the approximate amount of people, just post on here. Thank you everyone!
 
WOW!!! This is turning into a big day. Just got off the phone with Clint. Years back, he used to come up and hang out with me flagging, this scrawny boy with all kinds of energy and excitement and now we are adults. GREAT NEWS!!! Clint will be at the event, and will also be speaking for 5-10 minutes about riding, what happened, and what his future looks like as well as encouragements to riders. I told him that takes tons of courage. Many people are pulling together to make this day happen. Clint does have insurance, it is too early to know what they are going to cover or not. So in an effort to help you all understand his needs, he will be speaking and he and his family are definatley in need of help. Most importantly is showing you care. Any money raised will be beneficial to the Zentner family for getting the house set-up for him to come home and the endless expenses of transportation for rehab and special needs, so much they don't know yet with this benefit being so soon. So please come out and show some love.

He had a brain injury early in the morning on easter 2002. He was at a party, their was a fight, he was involved in breaking it up and someone sucker punched him afterwards sending him to the ground with his head hitting concrete. He was in a coma for a lil while and had to learn how to walk, talk, eat, and function again. Today he has a little 2 room apt. with a bathroom, he's on disability and ohio medical insurance. He is unable to work, he has constant migraines, he is supposed to lose vision at some point in his life. More important than the money is showing people care by coming. I am hoping to get him some help with clothes, food, and just some living expenses. My family will be there as well, which is awesome...they don't really understand what I do at the tracks, and my family is very divided. I have always wondered how I could use motocross to bring people together...this is it. In alot of ways, motocross saved my life.

Its going to be lots of fun that day as well as real and sincere. My biggest problem is i don't know how much food to order...yikes! Thank you everyone for considering coming and to all those who have helped and will be helping. More updates to come as day approaches. BBBRRRAAAPPP!!!!!

The proceedes are an 80/20 split with 80% to Zentner. I have no idea what will happen that day...my brother will capped off at $1000. I am writing these things to give you a better understanding of what is taking place, and that i don't want to take advantage of the motocross family which has been so good to me...I hope you trust i am sincere. I love the motocross family, i like to see people together, two fallen riders need help...thats what I am working for. I gain nothing from this other than the joy of doing it which is far more than any amount of money or power. No one else gains anything monetary unless I hired them for their services.
 
I don't think I can ride b/c of a wedding I have to go to later in the day, but I'm hoping to at least stop out and check everything out. I haven't seen Josh in years...
 
Hey Jon, it's cool man, been a long time since graduation. Man, we are getting old.

Some Updates...Just received word that Gavin Gracyk will be at the event where we will raffle off 6 spots for a private 3-hour training session directly following the event. That's a $125 value per rider. We will also have a decent sized campfire afterwards to just hang out.

Would also like to thank all the people helping out as well as some more from previously mentioned - Wiseco, Randy's Automotive, Suffield Motors, and the Johnson Family.

Will have list of items to be raffled off here soon...looking like around $3500-$4000 in value of items.

Thank you everyone!
 
Things are coming along well. Each day it gets closer the more excited and nervous I get. Just a reminder...everyone is welcome to come...bikes, quads, pee wees, pit bikes, and UTV's. Also you can bring your bows and RC cars if you like. Weather is looking good so far...72 and overcast. Thank you again everyone for all your help and hardwork. Also, will be asking anyone willing to help flag throughout the day. So please consider stepping up!

You can pay at the gate...ticket idea didn't work as well as I hoped. So just show up!

Also, campfire after cleanup to just hang out while Gavin puts on his school. You can sign-up for Gavin's mx school on sunday for $125 per rider at the event or call 330-412-4334 for Jarrett.

Weather is looking good so far...72 and overcast!!!
 
SHIRT FINAL.jpg

shirts to be sold for $10 at event.
 
Just got some bummer news...Gavin will not be coming. He crashed this past weekend and fractured his c-7. No seriousness to the injury other than just the fracture thankfully. So all plans with Gavin are off. So, we keep moving forward.
 
REMINDER---You don't need tickets, pay at the gate, please spread the word. Gates open at 8am, Practice Starts at 10am!

PRACTICE---Practice will broken up into groups. The goal is to get every one an hour of track time throughout the day, thats with an estimated 200 rider turnout. Gonna make the best of it.

RAFFLES----Oh man- Just bought about $1900 of stuff from Kames - we have Briarcliff, Apple Cabin, and RamJam Track Passes - Pro Action Suspension Gift Certificates - Chillis, TGIF, Olive Garden, Applebess, Walmart, Rohrs Nursery Gift Cards - Wiseco Products and Gift Cards - 50/50 Raffle, and other Misc. Items!!!

WEATHER---I check accuweather.com It is showing 67 and overcast with 30% chance of rain. They have on there showing 0.00 inches of accumulation and 0.00 hrs of rain, just cloudy all day. Whats that mean...great track conditions, cool temperatures and prolly a drizzle or two. So don't hold back on coming out, it called motocross for a reason....gonna go riding!!!!!!!!! ALSO-----This is perfect weather for Clint Zentner as people with paralysis can't take alot of heat because their bodies don't sweat below the point of injury, they retain the water we would sweat and risk overheating. ALSO-----Bringing a cord of firewood for a descent size campfire all day!!!!!!!!!
