 D-37/Offroad Community Loss Tragic news out of the Dakar Rally today. Elmer Symons racing in his first Dakar on a bike lost his life during stage 4. Many folks out here know Elmer who raced in the National H&H Series as well as BITD. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Chris Blais who is also competeing in his 3rd Dakar and is a home grown D-37 man was very good friends with Elmer and may have to be the one to tell Elmers teammates as they get to the bivouac. Chris is doing very well again this year running in 4th O/A and I hope this doesn't distract him from his goal to get on the podium in a Dakar Rally.

| Re: D-37/Offroad Community Loss He was from South Africa but raced and lived here. He was the BITD 250 pro champion for 2006. He will be missed by many here in SoCal. |

| Re: D-37/Offroad Community Loss Have to say this spooks me. I have pitted all but 2 of the American riders in the past in the Score and the BITD desert series including Elmer. It is very scary. God speed Elmer and may the good lord bring comfort to Elmer's relatives and friends. |
