Latest | Scott Parkinson | Thursday, 18 February 2010 Bobby Bonds Injury UpdateBakersfield, Ca: 2/17/10- Bobby Bonds received some good news yesterday as he left the Dr.'s office, following that ugly get off at Anaheim stadium last weekend where he suffered a broken collar bone in his heat race early in the evening. Bonds' injury wasn't exactly as bad as thought. The collar bone is broken, but cleanly as they say and not misaligned. "Bobby's injury wasn't as bad as originally thought, said Dr. Jondy Cohen, orthopedic surgeon out of Modesto, Ca who has worked on some of the best in the sport. He actually broke the bone in two spots but there was no misalignment or overlapping of the collar bone. With that said, I saw no reason to risk infection by opening him up and having possible hardware failure, and everything else that comes along with surgeries these days. He will spend the next 3-4 weeks healing up and should be able to get back in the bike at that time." Bobby will miss the next round of WORCS in two weeks at Buffflo Bills Casino Resort in Primm, NV, but hopes to return March 28th for Round #3 of the WORCS series at Lake Havasu, Az. This race would... READMORE |

Thanks to all the help from Monster Energy this year, we will exceed last year’s total results of $51,846, which is an amazing feat in this recessed economy.

 Latest | Scott Parkinson | Monday, 15 February 2010 Max Anstie Injury UpdateStar Racing's Max Anstie crashed in his heat race at Anaheim III this past weekend and injured his hip. We got updated on his condition from Star Racing's team coordinator Donovan Mitchell: "Max originally was thought to have a badly broken hip and needed surgery today. But, Sunday, after more X-rays by a specialist, they have it diagnosed as a fractured hip. No surgery is needed as of now, and today he is set to see what happens after he puts weight on it. After that, more X-rays will assess if surgery is needed. However, the thinking is it won’t be needed and maybe a recovery time of eight weeks will be sufficient. The doctor today said he could be leaving on Tuesday. He’s in really good spirits. He finds the bright things in everything. He says this little deal just makes him all the more tougher, and gives him more confidence in the long run by everything not coming easy. As always, Max wants to get working hard, and really appreciates his sponsors and fans." Max Anstie is out with a fractured hip. photo: Steve Cox READMORE |
 Latest | Scott Parkinson | Monday, 15 February 2010 Bobby Bonds Injury UpdateBakersfield, CA:Bobby Bonds' season has had a slight set back due to an injury he received Saturday night while competing at Round #6 of the 2010 Monster Energy Supercross series. At Anaheim this past weekend, Bonds was doing this kicker section right before the triple, and on lap 3 or 4 of his heat race while running 10th, he hit the infamous neutral which catapulted him over the bars and into the face of the triple ahead, breaking his collarbone and ending his night early and most likely putting him out of Rounds 2 and 3 of the WORCS series. Says Bonds: "This is something I definitely hate is when accidents happen over simple obstacles. I was having fun doing these supercross' on my off time from WORCS and making money at it as well. I'm just bummed for my sponsors and myself. I felt I had this year dialed in, and while Round #1 was a fluke with the fuel issue, I felt I had a decent shot to bounce back and remain consistent with the rest of the season. Now, with the collar bone, I might be out until at least Round 4 (Adelanto, Ca). Jason immediately got... READMORE |
