CMRRA minibike racing boss Al Lyons and his wife Sherri are both in Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, California after a street crash on California Highway 76 Saturday, March 26. Linda Hopkins, mother of former CMRRA racer and current MotoGP racer John Hopkins, visited Al and Sherri Lyons on Easter Sunday and reports that Al Lyons suffered a broken vertabra and road rash while Sherri Lyons has a knee injury and road rash. They were injured after a highside crash on the popular road and their wreckage was hit by another rider in their group, who fell and ruptured his spleen.
