Just returned from Perris where they were putting on a ride day for Ross.
It was amazing to see Perris completely packed with vendors, riders and spectators.
They were having silent auctions and donations and I'm sure Steve will let us know how that turned out.

Not only do we stand together as a community but it shows what is in the hearts of the Motocross family helping Ross when he needs it most.

Great turn out for one the best people I know. Make it happen Ross.

Today was bitchen! Totally packed to get in, I heard waited an hour to get through the gate. The track was crowded, thankfully no one was hurt that I saw. Perris did a great job, and so many people stepped up huge for Ross and the Maeda family.

When Ross saw how many people were there and in line he said "I had no idea this many people knew who I am".

The MXDN triple framed jersey's went for 6500$ amazing. Someone emailed donn with a purchase price of 3000$ for the David Bailey helmet. I missed what the other one went for.

The line to get in was crazy !!! We waited in line for about 45 mins and from where we parked we could see people still rolling in line for another 45+ mins after we got in. What an Awesome turn out for Rossi.

I've never seen and ridden with so many riders on that track together ever. That was more crowded than the vet track at elsinore on a weekend bitd, the track was a fun twisting layout with mostly easy small hits that kept it pretty safe for how crowded it was.

It was great to see Ross smiling, conversating and taking in everything going on. Great support from great moto people I had a great time.

Very cool! I was not even aware that Ross was already well enough to be out and about. Gotta love that!

It normally takes a person much longer than it did Ross to be able to go out and about after an injury of that type...but if anyone knows Ross you know he's not a normal person.

Sitting here in my office all day today with it pouring down rain (think it finally took a break for a few minutes) I have been reminded over and over how blessed we were not to have this rain yesterday.

Regarding the line to get in, we got in RIGHT before the traffic backed up....got through the gate by close to half past eight and then BAM everyone and their brother starting showing up after eight thirty. Vendors were all in place by then but it looked like 90% of the riders started to arrive after eight thirty AM.

I bought two two shirts, five stickers (one's on my PC at this very moment) and am wearing my TRY HARD bracelet I got yesterday at this very moment. I am not taking it off until Ross gets out of the chair....and I know in my heart he is going to!
