((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Dayna , James , Kayla & Josh Brown Ethen was such a good friend, rider, and supporter of everything us kids always did. He was always hanging out wth us having a good time. All this happened to soon. I can remember when they first started coming out to the track and I was always practicing, and Larry asked me what size gear i was on. I was running cali style back then and it was a crazy front gear of like a 49 or something around there. I always told them let me know what you want to do and we will help you out. That was when i first met the family. As we all raced each other we grew close, but on the track we were always enemies, off the track we had a good time and kept all our troubles on the track. Shirley and Larry I cant even imagine what you are going through right now, stay strong. God now has him and he will continue to look over us. I love you guys. If you need anything get ahold of me.
