Great Article By Rob Crowe


After getting some good shots, I dropped him off and headed to race headquarters at the 7 Clans Casino.  As I was going in, a nice sled grabbed my attention and I stopped to take a picture. The owner came by and commented on his crash, but I was off to other things and didn’t answer.

My interest piqued by his comment, I went back later and looked again at the sled, a Yamaha. The left footrest was crumpled up almost into the tunnel. I introduced myself to the owner, Seth Thorson, and he told me a little bit about his week of racing.

He lives in Shoreview and, on his way up to TRF, the motor of his Chevy pickup blew at St. Cloud. Yes, you Chevy guys, 350 Chevys do blow up. He had the pickup towed back to the cities, borrowed another truck and did make it up to start the race on Friday. He runs in the Yamaha Sport 85 class, a class for 4-stroke machines. He ran well for two days and was in 5th place in class on Sunday morning as he started the course. He’d just passed up into 4th place when he went off a jump, landed on a rock, crumpled up the left foot rest and trapped his boot. There was some other damage to the bulkhead as well and race officials had to bend the metal away from his boot to free him. He was out of the race. 

He was a bit despondent, but I expect will be back on the track ASAP. While much attention is often paid to the winners, it isn’t much of a race without all those other competitors.  Thanks, Seth, and all the rest of you who compete. Best of Luck to you all.
