Victor Monz was up at the Amago MX track practicing and took a preety bad fall. We think he broke his right ankle, but no report yet.

Victor did break his leg....down near the ankle.  Please keep him in your Prayers.  He called me from ER..tough guy.  He does promote the Penton name in Southern California and wins a lot of races.  I always enjoy Victor when he is thinking up a new bike to build.  He is always with the program.

Wow that's funny. I went by his house and he was doing wheelies up and down his street on his Six Days. Though guy! Actually I went by his home to see what I could do for him but he must have still been at the hospital.

Ron,

We need to keep him off anything with two wheels! Actually, the track was not watered and had huge amounts of powdered dirt. Everyone was complaining, but you know how that goes. Just glad he crhased on the Husky and not his newly restored 250 that he was riding earlier!!

All joking aside, we will take good care of him. My neighbor who is also an avid off road rider/racer has parents that also live in Hemet and has offered to help him any way he can. The bummer is Victor broke his right foot which will make it near impossible to drive.

Victor, get well soon.  I will miss you at Glen Helen this weekend.  If there is anything you need me to mention at the rider's meeting let me know.

I talked to Victor last night and he had the ankle looked at by a Specialists and they are going to look at it again in a week.  He will be working from home and trying to stay off the ankle/leg to help the healing process.  Victor appreciates your Prayers.
