They will acknowledge there was an issue caused by a drying agent that was applied by someone they contracted to assist with drying the track.
They will apologize (without admitting guilt) on behalf of that contractor and state steps have been taken to ensure this never happens again.

If anyone takes legal action against them I'm almost positive the paperwork riders sign before the event will protect them. I'm sure the papers they sign say something about in the event of an injury, whether caused by the rider, track crew, track obstacle, etc...

Can you put paperwork forward to cover negligence?

I'm sure they have tried to cover their ass in every way possible.

That said, if riders do in fact take action against Feld and win...they may not be allowed to race for them ever again.

Either way, Feld doesn't build the tracks. They are smart, they contract everything. If something happens it's on someone else, not them.

I’m more interested in what the City of San Diego says about contaminated runoff. That stuff could cause problems with The infrastructure at Petco Park...

I don’t doubt that if anyone did try, it would be tied up in courts for so long it would make it difficult/impossible for privateers especially.
As for not being allowed to race for them, could argue it’s prohibiting someone making a living, especially if it’s a top guy/team.

That's why they spend all their members money fighting frivolous pissing match lawsuits, squandering funds to repeal helmet laws and killed off the 2 stroke and most importantly the 125 class with their double displacement 4 stroke rules. Not to mention the ones that were embezzling money. Did I miss anything?

I don't believe Feld is responsible for providing a professional motocross/supercross rider with a job. They can move to Canada or go run MXGP.

If you have a malpractice suit against a hospital they ask you to remove your records and deny you future service. I would have to imagine it would be similar in this situation.

Either way, the AMA release a statement basically stating they are looking for more information on the matter to see the scale of it.

But seeing as supercross now comes under the FIM umbrella and is designated as a world championship could Feld do such a thing - to prohibit a rider from competing in an FIM sanctioned championship?

This is one occasion where unlike its circus performers Feld does not want to be in the limelight.

The AMA won't do shit. This is one reason I am no longer an AMA member. When was the last time they did one thing to help this sport?

If someone can find the instagram of the Mom who had a burnt toe and the kid with a burnt back, she is another parent who confirms this. By equipment, maybe they are referring to anything else like gear, cameras, etc.
