    Long story short..... Jackson Blackmon is headed to Indy right now. Chuck and Jackson decided at the last second they could go. (Chuck is self-employed and covered up at the shop) They are jumping on a plane in one hour. They do not have a rental car or accomidations at this moment. I am hoping that the Beeb/WERA family may be able to help. They may need a couch to crash on or a ride in the back of a truck. If you would like Chuck's contact info or if you can help, just shoot me a PM. Thank you for all the help. Cam

    BTW, Jackson is a 13 yo who races a Moriwaki 250.

    ps..... Why did I not have a dad that would shut down the business to take me to my home Moto GP race.... :(

    Jackson walked up to me, put out his hand and told me his name. We shook hands and he handed me his business card! Very professional kid!
