 Being "ready" for medical emergencies is also a plus for 
pit crews...Nelson came upon dirt bikers last year who had collided and wanted 
him to load up and take their buddy to get help.  Nelson refused, told 
them to cover him up and keep him warm and went to call 911 and lead in the 
ambulance.  Kid had broken his leg and was in shock.  Similar incident 
on same trail this year only they weren't lucky enough to meet up with endurance 
riders or their crews...instead the police and medical personnel ran a merry 
goose chase trying to FIND the people who were hurt...didn't find out how that 
turned out.
