SUPERMOTO - Pastrana Not Racing
By Paul Carruthers

Just Spectating 7/9/2003

According to the man himself, Travis Pastrana won't be taking part in this weekend's opening round of the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.

Pastrana, who was a surprise spectator at a Moto Kids photo shoot last night at Maely's Ranch in Corona, California, said that although he will be a spectator at Laguna, he won't be racing.

"We've still got a few things to work out with the bikes," Pastrana said last night.

The 19-year-old appeared to be healthy and he stuck around and watched the photo shoot, posing for photos with the kids - all of whom were naturally elated that one of their heroes was there!

Hmmm, Pastrana not sporting any casts, crutches, or braces? Probably a look-alike body double!

Good kid just needs to focus more on racing and quit playing.
The kid has got a huge fan base but if he is always hurt it wont last. My kid loves the guy.But every time we go to a race he is supposed to be at he is not there.Because he is hurt. The car crash thing was just stupid. I read his press relaese and I understand he is sorry. The boy has got to focus on what made him what he is.Iwhish him all the luck.He needs it.

what's the status on his friend?

I wouldn't even consider racing if he was still in the hospital...
