It will be a shame if some riders are unable to race/ride for a while
Are an IDIOT
The danger with the burns and open wounds for the riders really comes to the risk of possible infection. MRSA is a real possibility. I wouldn't blame a rider for sitting this weekend out depending on the severity of their injuries, especially if they aren't legitimate title contenders. I wouldn't call them a pussy either.

But if you listen to the experts here, it’s like they all have ingested some type of toxic radiation and they’re all dying from the inside out.
If someone can’t race b/c of burns doesn’t make them anything other than “injured” and they don’t care what you call them from your “safe zone”
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one UpTite. I am not a doctor nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night BUT in 1990 I got splashed with Caustic and had severe burns on my face. Had that been on my ass (insert joke) there was no way that was going to rub on a seat for 20 plus 2
Going from a pH of 7 to 14 is a 10,000,000-fold change rather than a 2-fold change.
A change in eye pH from 7.3 to 7.6 is still pretty serious especially considering this was several days after the initial exposure.
Kinda just seems like you want them to drop points at this race because your favourite rider has been affected.
i speak from experience, chemical exposure nearly cost me my life, and nearly cost my wife and kids their husband and dad..... and it took well over 70 hospital visits in the last 3 years.
It makes me cringe when i see people working on cars or bikes all macho and not protecting themselves from oil, solvents and all that. Even youtube videos of people restoring bikes breathing all sorts of crap into their body.
Just because you can buy a chemical from the stores or garden center, exposure can ruin or end your life
The stuff is no good, and a tough guy attitude will not make it that much less dangerous.

I don't get the tough guy attitude towards poisoning ones self
"the crisis caused by the actions of a track worker"
Very weak to single someone out like that. Who was supervising this track worker? What kind of qualifications does this track worker have that you allow to dump seemingly whatever he likes on the track? Was the track worker trained in lime use? Did the track worker buy the lime with their own personal cash?
Shit can and often does happen due to the actions of one individual especially in tense, challenging situations. I imagine the TV broadcast schedule required a short amount of time to make a call and it was made; it went wrong. I don’t feel DC singled a guy out to lay blame but instead to empasize with his situation as I’ll bet DC’s been in it many times.
Although the pH level of the soil on Saturday was thrown off by the lime, it returned to normal by the time the EPA arrived to test it and its a non factor. The EPA will not call for any further action, either.
Feld has suspended use of lime effectively immediately, until they learn more about how to perfect the use (it’s been a staple for years) or find an alternative.
Supercross will continue on, no shutdown by the government or internally to worry about per Prater. Expect all of the media outlets to have a transcription of the meeting or something this week.
