Bureau Of Land Management Says It Did Not Follow Rules In Race Deaths

An internal review found BLM staff in the Barstow, Calif., field office did not hold a pre-race consultation with race promoters.

Furthermore, a ranger assigned to patrol the area did not monitor the Aug. 14 event in which a competing truck plowed into spectators crowded along the course.

The review does not specify who was responsible for permitting the event or whether that person faced any repercussion for not following agency procedures.
