Open Letter to Terry Enyart |
I thank Mr. Enyart for the assistance I
received after a crash I had in the opening laps of my Vet B race at the State Line
Harescramble. Without his help I would have surely been mauled by my class and the
following class, for I had the wind knocked out of me and could not move for a while.
Terry, seeing my crash, instinctively knew I would need help and stopped to first
check if I was ok (I gestured), then directed traffic, picked up my bike, and told me we
will finish this race (yeah right, I was thinking). I did finish the race under
Terry's supportive words. I wish I was healthy, for the trail and event were as
perfect as last year. I now know the extent of my injuries will keep me from racing
the next race at Hard Rock. Without Terry's help I know I would be in worse shape,
for many bikes came within inches of me while I was down, even with Terry's help. I
nominate Mr. Enyart for 'Sportsman of the year'! Without Terry's help I am sure
Jenny Buxe, Bob Brown, Kevin, and maybe my wife would have helped. Glad I did not
have to wait. P.S. Vet C is a vicious class! I am happy to be starting in front of them. Avo Laido |
