Re: [Texascavers] Fw: Never go to Mexico- Kurt Caselli killed in Baja 1000
Hey, there's a lot of questionable stuff happening in Texas, too. I don't want to move back. There are cheaper places to be old in and with fewer loons.

As fun as it would be to pick on Jon, it looks like he did not title this email. It is a forward. The news is interesting but of minimal impact to what cavers do in Mexico. Take it as such and give him the the common courtesy of knowing one explosion in a race does not mean we all stop traveling. > On Nov 17, 2013, at 9:30 AM, Jon wrote: > > > FYI ... > > > http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/Off-road/2013/November/nov1613-kurt-caselli > > KTM rider Kurt Caselli has lost his life while competing in the > famous Baja 1000 race through Mexico's Baja California peninsula, > after sustaining serious injuries while leading the 883 mile long race. > > Early and unconfirmed reports indicate that the thirty year old hit a > manmade booby trap at the 796-mile marker of the course.

Re: [Texascavers] Fw: Never go to Mexico- Kurt Caselli killed in Baja 1000
The subject of this email really bothers me, maybe I'll send an email to all my friends here next week saying dont ever go shopping in the states because someone got tramped to death during black friday. Geez people!! I used to not care about things like this and tried to explain to folks that my country aint what you see in the news but now I realize that whoever buys the hype are just ignorant types who dont know better and wont try to find out. Many a caver have come and returned without issue, I think its time to cut the crap, if something bad happens to you while traveling Mexico then by all means, let people know, but if it was a random stranger racing on a bike dont say dont ever go to Mexico, racing motorcycles is dangerous everywhere!! Enough of my rant, y'all get my drift Nico El domingo, 17 de noviembre de 2013, Ted Samsel escribió: > Absalom, Absalom. > > > > On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 2:14 PM, Sheryl Rieck > > > wrote: > >> I agree it is no reason to never go to Mexico.

I agree it is no reason to never go to Mexico. Things like this happen even here. It is horrible. Sheryl

This has given me reason to swear off competing in 883 mile long motorcycle races!

Tragic and sad, but not really a reason to stop going to Mexico. -- Jim From: Jon [mailto:cavefa...@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2013 9:31 AM To: Texascavers@texascavers.com Subject: [Texascavers] Fw: Never go to Mexico- Kurt Caselli killed in Baja 1000 FYI ... http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/Off-road/2013/November/ nov1613-kurt-caselli KTM rider Kurt Caselli has lost his life while competing in the famous Baja 1000 race through Mexico's Baja California peninsula, after sustaining serious injuries while leading the 883 mile long race. Early and unconfirmed reports indicate that the thirty year old hit a manmade booby trap at the 796-mile marker of the course. Sabotage to the rugged and remote off road course is common by spectators, who dig jumps and obstacles to provide more exciting viewing. The widely liked American made his debut in the Dakar Rally last year, impressing from the off by winning two stages of the tough SouthAmerican race in his rookie year to finish 31st overall. Caselli had said in the press conference after qualifying that winning the Baja was one of his big remaining goals. "Baja has always been on my list. A win (by KTM) is something that's not just myself but a lot of other people have wanted to see it for a long time, and I will be very happy if I can be a part of that. I'm not trying to take any glory. I just want to be able to say that I was part of a winning team." Motorcycle News sends our deepest condolences to Kurt's family and friends. He will be sorely missed.
