Re: Was anyone at Oak Hill in Henderson on Sunday?
The rider, Tom Beesley, is a long-time friend of mine. He's an old (should I say former?) motorcyle writer who rode and wrote lots of "press days" before he gave up on bikes and went to work in the newspaper business. He's been working at the Crowley Star; as far as I know he still works there.
Kind of a surprise... last I heard, Tom's hobby was sailing. His son, Jared, used to be a competitive motocross, cross-country, downhill bicycle racer. I didn't know any of the family was back on motorcycles, but apparently Jared was at Oak Hill when Tom went off turn 1.
Tom's at Mother Frances Hospital and, according to several reports, in pretty bad shape. I just found out about it this morning; will try to get over there this evening.
I'll post an update when one's available.
