Guys, Southrider, AKA: Clark Gristina from La. broke his hip Sunday while play riding on his KTM 200. He undergoes hip surgery tomorrow morning. He was looking forward to riding his Penton Berkshire 100 at the ISDTR but looks like he is out for the year. Keep him in your thoughts an prayers.

Dwight, Any news on how Clark's surgery went? Please let him know Charlene and I are praying for him and wishing for a speedy recovery. If you talk with him ask him to drop me a email when he feels well enough to do so. Hope this finds you and Deb doing well.

I spoke with Clark a week ago and he was doing OK but sore. He will be up and about before we know it.
