Now 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 Foundation’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 Girroir/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 Association) 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 calendars for June 11, 2022.
