WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE SPORT OF MOTOCROSS HAS LOST A GREAT COMPETITOR. NICK HOWARD WHO PASSED AWAY ON APRIL 9TH WAS SO FULL OF LIFE AND GAVE OUR FAMILY SUCH A MEANINGFUL AND POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON A SPORT WE KNEW LITTLE ABOUT. NICK AND HIS MOTHER DEBBIE WERE SOME OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO WELCOME US TO THE AREA. WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE MET SUCH A WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN. IN MARCH WE WERE TRYING TO HOLD OUR FIRST EVENT HERE AS NEW OWNERS AND NICK WAS THE FIRST ONE HERE READY TO RACE WHOEVER MIGHT SHOW UP. WE WILL NEVER FORGET HIS ENTHUSIASM TO RACE THAT DAY EVEN THOUGH THE CONDITIONS WERE TERRIBLE. HIS PASSION FOR RACING IS A BIG REASON WHY WE CHOSE TO HAVE SEASON EVENTS AND CROWN TRACK CHAMPIONS. WELL ONE THING IS FOR SURE, NICK WILL ALWAYS BE OUR TRACK CHAMPION. WHEN OUR NEW STARTING GATE IS BUILT THE ONLY NUMBER THAT WILL EVER OCCUPY GATE ONE IS #228!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW SHORT MONTHS, NICK HAS LEFT AN UNFORGETTABLE IMPACT ON OUR LIVES FOREVER. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED. OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO CLEVELAND, DEBBIE AND ALL OF NICK'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
