Gorman, CA - A memorial ride day has been scheduled for July 12th at the Gorman Motocross Track in honor of the late Rich Caselli.
Come celebrate his life, support his 2008 ISDE Team, and enjoy free food with his family and friends. Rich was a humble man with a big heart that loved to see people smile and would only want to see his friends and family enjoy his life and the time he shared with all of us. Rich's son, Kurt Caselli, will take one final lap aboard Rich's bike at 10:30am in memory of his father. Rich was the key man in the development of this year's ISDE Team and in honor of his ongoing efforts to fund the team and give the U.S.A. the best possible overseas presence, all proceeds raised during the ride day will go toward the funding of the 2008 ISDE Team.
The track opens at 9am with a normal gate fee for those who want to ride an open track and free admission to all others. The bench racing and BBQ will start at noon. Rich's Trophy Team will be in full force and accepting all donations. The riders in attendance will include Nathan Woods, Destry Abbott, Ricky Dietrich, Jimmy Jarrett, Kurt Caselli and David Kamo.

This is a wonderful opportunity to ride for a man who was a true enthusiast of the sport and has dedicated much of his life to improving the U.S. off-road racing efforts. The Caselli family would like to thank everyone who has shown concern for their family in this difficult time as they feel blessed to have so many friends in the industry to help them through this loss.
