Benefit fund set up for former Owyhee man
Motocross racer seriously injured in crash
By Jon P. Brown, The Owyhee Avalanche
A former Owyhee County resident was seriously injured April 20 in a race accident at Owyhee Motorcycle Club in Boise.
Monte Benson, 43, suffered a brain injury and a broken shoulder during the motocross crash, according to his stepmother, Jackie Benson.
I told John that I had enough photos of him in the winners circle but I was taking the picture just for the pretty girl standing next to him. Ericka Larson was the girl. Her bright smile was a welcome change from looking at sweaty race car drivers.
Earlier in the night watching Phil Dugan pinning the corsage on Ericka was priceless.

To complete the story you must see the next photo also. Dugan won the trophy dash and had the duty to pin the corsage on Ericka Larson (the trophy girl of the night), then later while running really well with some hard driving competition John Nesmith passed Dugan on the inside and Chris Ratterree tried to follow Nesmith.
