I haven't seen anything on here but thought I would post it. A longtime Minnesota racing family lost a young racer last week. So sorry for the Houle family:

For those of you who do not know, Hunter's dad was Steve Houle the owner of Speedwerx.

Many years ago Steve was on one of the most successful Yamaha snowmobile race teams with Tim Bender.

So sad to hear. Very tragic. My heart goes out to the family.
