KURT CASELLI RIDE DAY AT FOX RACEWAY
The 8th annual Kurt Caselli ride day was a success once again. Riders and supporters showed up in droves. Vendors littered pit row. The KTM and Husqvarna semis were on site and Weston Pieck was in attendance to support Fly Racing. Red Bull brought out a really cool vehicle with a DJ booth on top and 805Beer was served all day.
The day was filled with raffles, auctions of some really cool and expensive stuff, a team race and plenty of times to remember the legend Kurt Caselli. His name lives on due to the dedicated people of the Kurt Caselli Foundation.
Red Bull came out to play the tunes.
One of Kurt’s ISDE helmets was auctioned off.
A really detailed painting of Kurt was auctioned as well.
FMF is a huge supporter of the event.
If you haven’t heard of “Drop Kidz” you need to check it out for the little ones.
Nancy “Mama” Caselli is the heart and soul of the Kurt Caselli Foundation.
These cardboard cutouts of Kurt really bring Kurt’s spirit alive at the event.
The Caselli Cup. Whoever wins the team race each year gets their names on this cup.
One of the bigger items that was raffled off was this Intense Tazer MX electric bike.
MindFX was there to support the cause.
Kurt championship-winning Hare & Hound KTM 450SXF.
The memories are endless.
The legend of Kurt Caselli lives on. The proud dad in the background was one of Kurt’s best childhood friends, Bobby Steffan, the kid jumping the double is his son, Bobby Jr.

After a full day of fun and excitement, Daryl Ecklund’s son, who is named Caselli, was passed out 5 minutes after they left the track. It was a quiet 3 hour ride home.
