Cypress, California (June 1, 2007) - Graves/Yamaha Factory racer Doug Henry needs your help. His unending devotion to fully recovering from his Supermoto accident on March 4th is continuing full speed ahead. This is the good news. Unfortunately, it is very expensive.

Never one to ask for anything in his life, Doug’s friends have rallied behind him and are throwing a huge auction at his hometown Southwick track during the AMA Outdoor National on June 10th.

Held throughout the course of the day, and culminating right after the final Motocross class moto, the auction will be open to all in attendance at the National.
