MESA, AZ – OCTOBER 20, 2010: Saturday October 9, 2010 marked another incredible day in the off-road world when families of the California 200 Accident gathered together to unveil the 8ft Memorial that was built in the recognition of the eight lives lost August 14, 2010. “Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” said a grieving mother in reference to the touching ceremony, impressive Memorial and 20 foot long banner that people could sign in remembrance throughout the weekend. As part of the ceremony, a candle was lit for each of the eight who passed, and eight seconds of silence was called for.
“We will unveil for the first time a loving and lasting tribute from a special group of our family that wanted to honor those lost…Thankfully and fittingly, the memorial statue we are about to reveal is fabricated by hand in steel and perfect welds – much like the vehicles we all enjoy so much,” said Marty Fiolka during the ceremony. The Memorial was originated by Dana Dague, designed by Scott Freeman, built by Craig Hall of R&I Industries and will be mounted by Ted Cordts. (more…)
