Multiple sources are reporting that Rockstar Star-Valli Yamaha fill-in rider Tommy Weeck broke his tibia and fibula practicing at Glen Helen yesterday. Racer X’s Chase Stallo reached Tommy via text message last night. “I’ve seen better days,” replied an obviously devastated Weeck.

Weeck also tweeted the following last night:

I'm sorry to let everyone down. Especially my team starvalli rockstar Yamaha. I can't thank them enough for the opportunity they gave me.

This one set in immediately. I'm devistated!

I will admit I miss the tiddler class bigtime. Seems riders had to make the most of their powerbands / horsepower instead of managing the power. Not to mention a gate drop and the sweet sound.
