Kurt Caselli

Kurt William Caselli (June 30, 1983[1] – November 15, 2013)[2] was an American professional off-road motorcycle racer.

Caselli grew up in Palmdale, California, the child of two desert racers who encouraged him in his athletic goals.

Early reports indicated that he hit a man-made booby trap, but that ultimately proved to be incorrect information.

[8] His family honored his life and celebrated by hosting a memorial ride day on December 6, 2013, at Glen Helen Raceway in Devore, California.

[14] The Kurt Caselli Foundation was established in December 2013, using donations from the memorial ride day, with the help of fans, family and friends.
