Any update on the rider that went down at the start? Heard he was airlifted.

Jose aka Freddy right?   He's local so someone on DCSBN probably knows something.

I didn't see a helo, but I think he got a ride in the ambulance.

He was back at the track Sunday am; he came into registration and we talked for a few minutes.

Jose (aka Freddy) had driven me across the paddock to the rider's meeting on Sunday.  Right after he dropped me off, he pulled away and you guys announced and gave him a round of applause on his return to the track.  He just missed it, but I told him about it.

Crazy thing about that crash is that I know all 3 of the guys involved.  Guess that happens when you start spending 4 days in a paddock without leaving.
