                               To fellow Racing Lions Members:

         Hi Gary, I am not sure if you have heard the news about Bradley Johnson #590. :( He's been a part of our team since he was 16 years old - he will turn 25 this year. Bradley is a bright young man whose spirit and pure adrenaline rush are what drive him. Like all of us who test the limits of ourselves and our Lord, he lives to ride.
                    Last Sunday, February 2nd, tragedy struck when he broke his back (T12) at Hatcher Pass after attempting a cliff drop/jump. He was helicoptered out without feeling of his legs, and brought to Providence for immediate surgery. Now, Bradley resides in the Adult Critical Care Unit until his spinal chord is stable enough to sit up. He still has no feeling in his legs. He is in good spirits and welcomes visitors.
                       Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as his road to recovery is going to be long and difficult. His spinal rehabilitation requires that he leave state-as there are no facilities that he requires in Alaska. This causes extensive costs that were very unexpected - and Bradley and family could use some help. Any donation to Bradley's cause would be used ONLY for the rehabilitation of Bradley and associated costs.
                I appreciate you taking the time to post this on your page/website to aid Bradley in quite possibly the toughest time of his life. We love him very much, as do many others who know him.

Thanks again,
~Adrienne Athanas #82

I posted the new membership form and waiver for 2012. Also a ruff draft of the 2012 rule book for everyone to check out. There is a ARL MX numbers list I added to the forms page too.

The number list is not 100% complete, it is filled in the data received from 2011, there are some duplicate number because there will not be two numberslist. The little bikes(85 and below) will most likely need to pick newnumbers. 1-9 are reserved for STATE EXPERT finishing order. If you feel you have been looked over, left off, or have any concerns please email GarySmith at garysmith296@gmail.com for clarification.
