Melvin Bell Fundraiser

Michael Moats, owner of The Harvest Central of Fresno, has donated a 2006 CRF 50cc Motorcycle to raffle at the Barn Burner on Saturday night! The CRF raffle tickets will be sold for only $20 each and we will draw the winning ticket in between the motorcycle heats and mains the same night.(March 14th).

The Chowchilla Barn Burner sponsors have gotten together twelve $50 gift certificates and a pair of riding boots! These raffle tickets will be sold for $1 each!!!

We at the barn would like to thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for Melvin's recovery. His family is overwhelmed with gratitude and we are so proud of our fellow racers for stepping up and being there for a racer in need.

Students from Chowchilla Union High School are invited to the Barn Burner. All they need to do is purchase two $1 raffle tickets and they get in the races FREE.

Update...Melvin had a 7 1/2 hour surgery on March 12th to place a rod in his left femur and had many, many skin grafts on his left leg. He pulled through surgery well and is hanging in there. The doctors will keep him in an induced coma for a while during his recovery. The doctors are happy with the surgery results from yesterday and say this is one of many surgeries. Melvin will be back on his quad again!!!
