first off guys there is lots of blame to go around for everyone....
yes it was a race but Brett Sloppy saw the crowd and should have lifted(utimately the driver is in control of the vehicle)specially when the truck right in front of him DID slow for the crowd..
MDR(promoter) knew b4 hand that the RockPile was a hot spot for fans and should have controlled it, its not 50 miles of desert its a known trouble area in ALL of their past events....
BLM is referring all blame back on the promoter(REALLY?) you guys wrote over 40 tickets in this exact same spot, same race, one year b4 and had no ranger presence there THIS year??? hmmmmmm def. not a good job of overseeing the event...as most people know young men dont obey very well unless you have a badge, gun and siren...
SPECTATORS what are you thinking??? yes I know you consumed adult beverages but that doesnt give you the excuse to lose all common sense...you chose to stand next to a RACE vehicle going very fast in unpredictable terrain(its rumored that there were signs and fencing at the 75' mark but the crowd pushed forward and knocked them down)... the opportunity for many things to go wrong is not a maybe but a when...do you reach out and touch cars on the freeway or trains on railroad tracks?... NO...and thats smooth pavement/rails....
It all boils down to "personal responsibilty"
and last but not least SHAME on the enviro. groups(CBD PEER and others) that are using this... A NON ENVIROMENTAL ISSUE... to further their own agendas...YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED of yourselves for so many reasons!
