UNVEILING OF THE CALIFORNIA 200 MEMORIAL MONUMENT Off-Road community members, racers, volunteers and companies in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management will gather on Saturday, October 9, at 10:30 a.m. at the 2010 Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo for the unveiling of the California 200 Memorial Monument, a large scale statue designed to honor the victims of the recent desert race accident where eight were killed and 12 injured. The need for a public unveiling is evident with the outpouring of concern & support the industry and fans off-road have shown over the past few weeks since the tragedy at Lucerne Valley. “The California 200 incident impacted the off-road community and industry at large,” said Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo Show Director, Tom Gattuso. “We were honored to be asked to host the unveiling and have plans to make the monument a centerpiece of this year’s event.” The monument is comprised of steel and concrete and is in the final building stages. The public can all make their mark on the monument as well in the form of a wall available for all to sign and show their support for victims and their families. After the public unveiling on Saturday, October 9, at 10:30 a.m., the statue and the wall will remain on display throughout the weekend at the expo and then both will be placed permanently at the desert crash site.
