Have you met Carol Lee Bettis yet? Stop by the 88 Live to Ride ATV medical trailer and say hello. She is a registred nurse from Missouri who has been providing ƒ“walking woundedƒ” care this season for our series. Her brother, Michael, has been racing locally for the past 10 years so she is well versed in the injuries that can occur while competing. In 2012, Carol Lee approached Debi about setting up an 88 Live to Ride ƒ“walking woundedƒ” program at the TQRA series. Receivign the go ahead from the TQRA president, Austin Wilson, supplies were purchased and 88 Live to Ride headed west. Carol Lee has been busy this year overseeing both series. We appreciate her dedication to the sport. Debi would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to John and Robyn Ford for providing Carol Lee with transportation to the races and a place to sleep.
