It is with deep sadness that I have to share the news that a former youth Speedway rider, Ben Turner, lost his life following injuries received in a motocross race at Marysville last Saturday night. Ben's Speedway career included a couple of second division youth wins at Fast Fridays. Ben was 17 years old.

My condolences go to his father Dave, and his other family members and friends. A memorial fund has been set up. Please send donations to:
    Matthew J. Drury Sponsor of the Ben Turner Memorial Fund
