Dale Wentworth the downed aprilla rider, is showing some good signs. Brain swelling is down, pupils have reacted to light, and squeezed my aunts hand a couple of times on demand. Please keep all fingers crossed and give a prayer. He's still not out of the woods yet, but keeps giving as positive signs. Keep it up Uncle Dale!!!!!

Regarding Dale Wentworth, #64, injured motorcycle rider:
Kristen Coltey Wentworth He's got alot of broken bones, had some bleeding in his brain but they got that under control, and a puncured lung...as of last night the brain swelling was down, they did a cat scan which came back normal and he's finally breathing on his own...He's still in the ICU and still has a long road ahead of him...the family is asking for prayers and warm thoughts sent his way (I'm his daughter in law).
Also looking for status on vintage rider Donald "BJ" Bjornsrud, #777.

I believe they were both airlifted off the hill during the race.
