Hello -

Grant’s crash Saturday night left him unconscious for two to three minutes. As a result he will not be cleared to race next Saturday night at Toronto. He has also suffered a bruised rib cage and a contusion to his right lung, causing him to cough up blood. We also think that the hard impact to his back, that caused the contusion to his lung, is the reason he was unable to move his legs at first. This is why the officials red flagged the race, he was laying on the blind landing in a high speed section and unable to move. Grant’s knee is also extremely swollen. He will be going in to visit his Doctor this week to see if surgery is necessary. In general Grant is very banged-up, bruised and swollen; but our initial scare from him not moving his legs after the crash are fortunately relieved.

<p align= ‘justify’On behalf of Grant and the rest of our family, we would like to thank everyone for their prayers and concerns. All the calls, texts and facebook messages really showed Grant how truly loved he is by friends and fans alike.

I will continue to keep everyone posted as we learn more about Grant’s state.

Best regards,

Whitney Langston

FMF/KTM rider Russell Bobbitt earned 2nd overall at the Alligator National Enduro and took over the points lead.

Fellow KTM support rider David Knight was in attendance for the third round of the National Enduro Series. Knight started well earning the fastest lap time in the first two tests, followed by Bobbitt and Husaberg rider Mike Lafferty.

Bobbitt shined in the third test tying with Nick Fahringer for the best overall time and came into the gas stop with a 4 second lead over Knight. The fourth test was the most talked about all day. The rains earlier in the week had saturated the course resulting in a 4th special test that was all mud. The ‘mud test’ had its toll on Knight’s bike and dropped him from the competition allowing Bobbitt and Lafferty to move up a position.

Bobbitt suffered a few problems in the mud and allowed Lafferty to finish 30 seconds ahead in that section. Both riders entered the final test tied for the lead. The fifth test of the day was deemed the hardest by most of the riders as it was over 10 miles long and had thick palm leaves that blocked vision on the trail. “I got pretty scraped up in the last test from the branches but still had fun today,” commented Bobbitt. In the end, Bobbitt finished a few seconds off of Lafferty’s time and dropped to second place, still earning enough points to move into the points lead.

At one point, Kanney took the lead and Bobbitt was as high up as 3rd. At the end of the race both riders had trouble with lappers causing Kanney to drop to 5th and Bobbitt to 7th. Buttrick who climbed through the pack early in the race got stuck in one of the tracks six deep mud holes and was fortunate enough to recover and finish 6th for the day.

Once again, KTM privateer Chris Bach, surprised fans in the XC1 class earning his second podium of the year. Bach rode a smooth race and finished 3rd overall showing all race fans that his podium in Florida was not a fluke.

In the Women’s class, RPM/KTM rider Maria Forsberg finished on the podium with a 3rd overall. Forsberg was looking to earn another win, but like her FMF/KTM teammates, a mistake in the mud hole set her back and she recovered in time to earn the final podium position.

The second round of the series was a great weekend for KTM having 5 of the top 10 riders in the XC2 class and 6 of the top 10 in the XC1 class finish aboard KTM motorcycles.

FMF/KTM rider Kailub Russell earned his first win of the season in the XC2 class at the second round of the GNCC Series dubbed “The General’ while his XC2 teammate Steward Baylor also put in a decent ride to finish 4th.

Russell was out front early after earning a 2nd place start. He spent the majority of the race swapping the lead position with competitor Jason Thomas. Baylor started in 9th position and quickly worked his way up through the pack. The cold, soggy conditions seemed to fit the South Carolina native well as he blitzed by riders to the front of the pack. At one point Baylor actually took the lead but shortly after got stuck in the mud and lost time. After he recovered from the mud hole he collided with a lapper and lost a few more positions. He eventually finished in 4th while Russell pulled away out front to take the win with a 38 second lead over Thomas. KTM privateer Jesse Robinson rounded out the podium in 3rd. All top three XC2 riders finished 6th, 7th and 8th respectively in the overall standings for the day from all classes combined.

“It feels great to get my first win of the season. This round went a lot better for me than the first week. I felt comfortable all day and really had fun on my bike,” commented Russell after the race.

Every day the government, banks and various organizations take possession of seized cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles and more. The volume of these seized properties are so high  that a fast and constant way to empty their inventories is in place. To do this auctions are held nationwide that empty inventories at discounted prices. Vehicles with prices up to 90% under blue book value are auctioned off every day.

The good news is that every citizen has a right to these car auctions.

The bad news is that not everyone actually has access to these auctions, or let alone knows where they are held. You are probably one of those persons.

Auctions are not advertised on the radio, television or newspaper for the general public to find and join. And for those who take advantage of these auctions they are just fine with you not being a part of the action.

The Solution:

This is where a Car Auction Inc membership will help you. Our membership service allows you to join the action and find the vehicle you want to own and pay way below the suggested cost of the car at an auction. Just imagine finding the car of your dreams or even beyond those dreams at a price well within your budget.

Finding your Desired Car at an Auction

Using the “Get a price” form on our front page you get started by selecting the type of car, manufacturer, country, state and zip code of your residence. Then you press the “Go” button.

Enjoy!
