i wanna hit on this again before someone reposts.

i wanna comment on dreth.

"the problem is not the track or the rules! the problem is the word RACE, everyone out there wants to win and some will push the limits to do that even when its not safe!  for example..........the wreck that took place on the little step up, the kid went for the jump when the guy in front of him did not and they made contact which resulted in a bad crash and the guy being ambulanced out! Its the nature of the beast"

you obviously no little of what happend and i dont want to get into it. but my best friend is the one that hit him. zak stopped right at the lip becuase something got messed up with his bike, he hit the jump everyother lap and my friend followed him right over it. my friend would never do anything to hurt another person just for a better possison and same goes for a lot of people out there, you act like he just jump on to him becuase he went for the jump and he was trying to pass him. thats not at all what happend. and he deid instantly. there was nothing either of them could have done before they knew what the result of their crash could have been. zak griffin died doing something he loved to do. he knew all the risks of racing and so does everyone else. but theres a big diffrence between falling off you bike and braking your leg hurt over actually dieing. after racing for 4 years, ive never been at the track were a death took place. and this will change me forever. if people actually thought theres a good chance of dieing why would they do it. there is not a huge chance of you dieing racing a quad. I crashed at georgia the weekend after 4th gear flat out right on my head, but becuase of georgia's track being sand, I can walk. If I flipped on my face at gatorback in 4th gear, no dout i would have broken my neck becuase of how hard the impact would have been on that track. I saw people being medivacted out of gatorback every five minutes and at georgia the SAND TRACK.  I saw and only hurt of one kid going to the hositptal and he crashed with me and came back to get 5th in the main. that track should be made of something else and is to dangrous. sure theres a good chance of getting hurt on a mx track, but that track multiplys the chance of getting seriously hurt by 2. Donny hit the ground so hard, it paralized him for 10 mintues. and i want everyone on here to think about if it was your kid on here everyone was talking about that died at gatorback. would you think its right for peoples kids to be riding on that track as well risking being plowed into that road hard dirt they call a motocross track, I honestly think that he might have had a chance at living if it was a sand track, and its not like theres not enought sand in florida to change that track into sand.  I would donate money to the cause of gatorback being shut down or changing to a sand track.
and you people act like it was his choice to die. like he knew it was likley and could easly happen. and i bet if that lady that died there a few weeks ago would have rolled her quad onto her in the sand were your body can actually move instaed of hitting a rock hard surface she would have lived.

GATORBACK SUCKS

i dont live in florida but i was at the national and racing in the class that zak griffin died racing in. I honestly will never go to that track again. It was the 1st and last time I will be going there, sure you can crash at any track at anytime on a atv and racing it pushes the chance of crashing but normaly when you crash your alright, I flipped head first at georgia racing nationals in 4th gear into SAND, and I was fine, you try doing that at florida on that hard packed track I would have broken my neck no dout. Gatorback is a very dangourous track its so hard it should be ran as a supermoto track, wayyyy to many people got hurt at gatorback at the national this year. The track layout is cool and all but when you flip at 50 mph on that hardpack track, your gonna get messed up. The part of the track zak died on was as hard as a street road. It didnt help a quad also landed on him, but he might have had a chance if the ground wasnt so hard. I dont think there should be restrictions on that track, but they should either change the dirt and put mulch or something on it or be shut down before anyone else gets hurt there. Just my opinion.
