Some insight into what happens on the track and off the track at the races that people aren't aware of. This is a video of Dean Wilson and Mike Alessi that was taken during the end of last night's main event that didn't get televised. It's a very similar intentional/unintentional t-bone of those we've seen lately.
The video and complaint were presented to AMA immediately following the race and the powers that be at AMA refused to give consideration to the incident in terms of negligence. Is it right for such similar situations that have recently occurred (Alessi/Tickle, Stewart/Barcia) and many more in the past, be handled so differently? It is our belief a fair and objective perspective from fans, teams and AMA is critical to the growth if this sport.

BTW though......whatever you guys have been doing with Mike over the past 3 - 4 weeks.......KEEP doing it! This is the fastest I've ever seen Mike ride indoors.....so whatever you are doing it seems to be working. Happy for Mike in that way.
Not standing up for the AMA or Wilson...but Wilson doesn't really have a history of torpedoing other riders.

Regardless, if I was running your ship, i'd be keeping quiet and letting the results do the talking. Any drama from any angle at this point ISN'T a good thing. Just keep quiet, keep improving and keep the incidents away–That includes posting shit like this.
Just don't. You're not gonna make fans here.

with the possible exception of coining a new term, "Alessied"...
