Yesterday’s Arizona Old-timers MX sounds like it was a total cluster f@#$&. Jimmy Gaddis sent 3 people on 2 different starts to the hospital with serious injuries. From 1st hand accounts he blatantly caused both accidents. I have several problems with this. Why was he allowed to show up and ride one day of a two day event? This is on the event organizers. Why does a rider of his caliber feel he needs to take people out at an event where most riders have a job to show up for come Monday morning.

But the first 60 INT race we had Jerry Smith go down before going down the hill off the start and fractured ribs and scapula and concussion and the 2nd Moto we had Herb Allen go down not quite as far down the start and was thrown into the tree an suffered a fractured tib/fib and other bruising. And Friday Andy King went down on the front straight because his back wheel lost traction and at his speed he suffered 9 rib fractures on one side and hit his head hard enough he has a small bleed in his head which they are watching up to this afternoon and it’s gotten no worse. It was a rough weekend for some.
Maybe he did cause all of the carnage, but putting him on blast without any evidence at all just seems lame to me.
But what do I know...
