My wife works for the government and her job is to basically fix financial problems and figure out where money is going and where it should be going. I think they need someone like this because know way can they not be bringing in enough to cover stuff like this.
I could be (probably am) wrong about this but it just doesn't add up to me.

This needs to be talked about hashed rehashed and speculated about in grand Vital fashion until whoever got greedy.....stops.
Mxsports has to pay the Ambulance service to be onsite plus the "specialty" service Doc is providing...in the old days an ambulance was sufficient
Some of you are trying really hard to make it seem otherwise.
Move along.
Also...this does not mean there will not be multiple ambos and medical staff at every race. It means they will not have a pro ER trauma doc managing it all....and perhaps the Asterisk MMU will not be there (with onsite X-Ray capability, etc) There will still be medical staff there. Flying a trauma doc across the country for every race is not cheap.

The Asterisk Mobile Medical Center is an emergency care facility available at each AMA professional Outdoor Motocross and Supercross event to staff, participants, and crew at no cost. The full 53 foot hospital trailer is staffed with qualified, experienced medical personnel and offers specialized equipment for our sport’s unique injuries. The Asterisk Mobile Medical Center is provided to the racing community by Asterisk. Our operating budget is made possible by Feld Motorsports, MX Sports Pro Racing, AMA Racing, Road 2 Recovery Foundation, Joe Gibbs Racing MX Team, and Pro Circuit, as well as individual riders and private donors.
They also have an x-ray machine and other specialized medical equipment on site, as well as doing concussion testing.
Bottom line, they need to be there. They are next level compared to an "off the street" EMT when it comes to helping out the racers....anyone who thinks the guys sitting in the ambulance from the local hospital can come even close to providing the same care is sadly mistaken.
This situation needs to be addressed (funded) and in my opinion the promoter needs to be the one to do it. If MXSports sits by the wayside and settles for local guys in an ambulance (personally, I don't think they will) I won't watch another race all year.
I'm also curious to what this "rumor" is though. That might change my opinion/perspective....
well, what do you expect when supposed people "in the know" always pop up and only drop cryptic comments about what is actually going on behind the scenes and then refuse to provide any actual details, leaving everyone to guess what it is.
you can't have it both ways.
and I AM NOT pointing at GUYB here..
Let's see what rider does now.
Even though I don't think it is their place to fully support it.
But hey, he donated money to the medical unit, what a saint.
