It appears the track is now 'temporarily' closed ... per their phone and website.
Anyone know more about any of this? Any of you that emailed or wrote Daphne Greene get any response?

But, we all take risks every time we ride a dirt bike. You know that thing you sign when you enter the track? Ever read it?
Now I understand if they park a dozer next to a jump or shut the lights off on you while riding, be we have to assess risk while we're riding. Jump looks sketchy? Don't jump it. Track doesn't fit your style? Pack up and demand you money back. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions.
Again, I really am sorry about your friend.
I know it must appear hopeless for the parents right now .... but they need to stay strong and do the right thing .... and not allow some shark attorney to ruin other people's lives or livelihoods over it.
In life, it's fairly simple, even when it looks the darkest .... just do the right thing ... and you will find a way thru.
And I sincerely hope there's a special place down below for those greedy, avaricious, utterly-devoid-of-ethics attorneys that prey upon people in these situations.
said the accident happened in july 2007
same kid ?
That having been said I really don't know why you felt compelled to give Justin's name particularly since the three posts you've made are for the most part lacking any factual information except for providing his name.
Next time maybe you should listen to your brother........
Here's an example I dealt with first hand to show you how F*$cked things can get. Someone in my family was critically injured in a car accident(someone else was cited in the accident as the cause). The insurance was trying to find reasons to not cover my family member, of course. It was crazy the reasons they were trying to come up with. Anyway, we ended up having to get an attorney to deal with the insurance company. All we wanted was the proper coverage to be payed, but you have to "sue" them for this to happen if they refuse. Well, the insurance company then decided to counter sue us, the car manufacturer, another occupant in the accident, etc. They pretty much named everyone that was involved in their suit. It turned into a circus and they ended up pulling their suit but you can see, things can snowball in a hurry. Like I said, I don't know anything about the above track and stuff but who really knows what the situation is and what that family is dealing with. Yes, we all know mx is dangerous but when your kid is a injured in that way, it can get very complicated. Most legal cases you are not allowed to talk about the situation and believe me, its hard to bight your tongue when there are rumors and speculation about something and often its far from whats really going on.
The insurance companies routinely file suit to recover some of their losses not because they think they can win the case but because they know they can settle it and reduce the amount they will have to pay. They win we lose, again.
Will Justins parents feel much better if this place is closed ?
Do they want the track closed or the lawsuit $$ or both ?
An option for judges to put payment of legal expenses on the loser in the event of frivolous suits seems legit though.
I'd be happy to donate to the fund mentioned in the article, if I could be sure they weren't using the money for attorney fees.
At this point, we don't know for sure that there is a law suit, and if so, what the charges are.
It would be best to wish the family well, hope for the best possible outcome for the boy who was injured, and keep our mouths shut.
The closing of I5 MX may have nothing to do with this.
never taken care off. no water.
never prepped.
it was good until bruce got fired.
then it went to hell
I called the number below and their phone message said the track had reopened.

Then, just to be sure, I spoke with someone and was told the track was still closed, contrary to their own message. I mentioned this to her and she said to keep checking back?

... but I have not heard back from her. Was thinking of riding there this weekend. Sorry to hear that they have not been maintaining the track. I haven't ridden there in a year or so.
Pit Row
The lawsuit is large and extensive, the family went after the track, the owner, insurance company, helmet company, etc...big $$
There really ought to be a way to still allow legitimate legal action but avoid what this attorney is doing .... basically just going down a list of deep pockets whether they had anything to do with the accident or not.
I still don't see how they have anything to sue over.
I wish we knew a bit more about the case and what the cause for the suit was.
You have to know that this type of injury racks up huge bills, and continues to rack them up for years.
When the insurance company sees a way to recoup their money, they go after everyone.
I don't know if this is the case in this case, but I'd hate to think moto people would initiate something like this.
