As his wife he was not and never raced a motorcycle. This was done in a controlled environment and the track was rented for riders to enhance their skills and do sonin a place that's not the street. I would appreciate it of the facts were checked prior to reporting and no effort was made to contact th family.

Apparently, one of the motorcycle websites has set up a trust fund for Hunter. They say anyone can make a donation to "The Brandon Fund" at any Wells Fargo. I want to send out a big thank you to all the racing websites that have been leaving thoughts and prayers for Brandon and family. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all of them and for helping out my Brandon's son, Hunter, my grandson.
