CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "He is a walking billboard for proving that hard work and dedication really do pay off." Jason Anderson's A2 DQ I didn't see the incident [between Jason Anderson and Vince Fri- ese], but I agree that, in general, the AMA should take a no toler- ance policy on violence; other- wise the sport will devolve like some others have in the name of making money. I'm not saying this decision was fair, though. Sounds like maybe Friese's mechanic should have been removed, too. Kevin Burner They say they take a zero toler- ance stance and totally frown upon it going physical, but then in the commercial they show Weston [Peick] tapping out some Morse code to Vince's helmet. If you are truly are against it, I don't see using it for monetary gain. Keith Williams The common factor here is Vince Friese. Even F1 will give time penalties because they know the drivers are the show, not the of- ficials. Jason Anderson's action was a push to the helmet, and FV's mechanic actually pushed JA off his bike and into the fence. JA could have been hurt. I really do not want dirty riding like the days of [Damon] Brad- shaw and Chicken [Jeff Matiase- vich], but let them race. John Peterson Such BS suspending Anderson from the main! Just plain ridicu- lous! I'd hope Husky raises hell, but the damage is done. Daryl Dickens Roczen Crash, Injury This really sucks! I love watching this guy ride and his interviews on camera. I really hope he heals up and is stronger and faster when he comes back, because he is a walking billboard for prov- ing that hard work and dedica- tion really do pay off. Brittany Wright I was at the race sitting in the first row, upper section, on the rail, my eyes fixed on Roczen and Seely. I totally saw Ken just go in the air and let go of the bars. My gut got all weak. Those are my two riders and one got hurt. Tiger Clifton Get well soon! The key rivalry and focus of the 2017 Super- cross Series has unfortunately changed for the worse. John Howland Sucks. We really enjoy watching Roczen ride the wheels off that Honda! Heal up fast! Jeff Whelan Darn. Just when we got back to good racing. Eric Philpott Serious blow for KR, Team Honda, all fans, and Supercross. Wayne Nagata Archives: Bruce Cox Great story. It's always cool to learn the backstory to historical events of interest. Since my main interest is motorcycles, this is cool stuff. No one brings it like Cycle News. Please keep it coming. Mac Mclemore Casey Folks I met Casey at an off-road race in 1999. He was a class act. Godspeed, Casey! Wayne Hensley Motorcycle Tarriff This is a great reason to support the AMA regardless of whether you need a card to race or not. They fight for your rights as a motorcyclist. Alan Naes Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com. Published letters do not necessarily reflect the position of Cycle News.
