Jimmy Gordon’s Fatal Crash @ Sacramento Fairgrounds 1970
One of the drivers taking part in the event was Jimmy Gordon of Sacramento, CA, that had won the championship at Capitol Speedway a few weeks earlier. Gordon usually drove a pearl color, number 1 Roddy-Quipped super modified, but that day he was driving the Don Edmunds Research Chevy V8 copper-brownish sprint car number 96. This was Gordon’s second outing on a sprint car, a week earlier he had finished second in a race in Phoenix.
Gordon started the race from the eighth place on the grid. On the thirty-fifth lap of the main event, he locked wheels with Bud Gilbert of Santa Ana, CA, as the two went into Turn 3. Gordon’s vehicle cartwheeled and, in a facsimile of Purssell’s accident of a few hours before, landed upside and was hit by another competitor – as Ron Rea of Sepulveda, CA, could not avoid crashing against the Gordon’s wreckage. The impact ripped out the fuel tank of Gordon’s car and flames spread across the track. Officials moved quickly to put out the fire, but Gordon’s roll cage had collapsed, causing the driver fatal injuries. Gordon was pronounced dead at the hospital. Ron Rea was able to walk away before the fire erupted.
Promoter J. C. Agajanian told the California Racing Association members on hand that he was ending the race at that point, and not a single voice of dissent was heard. Having lost Purssell, Reiff and Gordon racing had become a futile exercise. Jerry Blundy, who was leading the race, was declared the winner and registered his third straight victory at the 100-mile championship.
It is also of interest that one racing report indicated Gordon’s car had a chromed roll cage. It wasn’t too much later that chromed roll cages were banned as it was discovered the chroming process weakened the integrity of the cages.
The race was also marred by the death of Ernie Purssell and spectator Walt Reiff.

Wikimania “Perks”, Organizing and Networking
Wikimania like other festivities has perks, benefits, and repercussions. It helps organizers in the Wikimedia movement make better circles, take inspirations back home, and innovate in the free knowledge. It gives green signals to several new initiatives. It helps people to resonate their problems and issues with the challenges that people on the other side might be facing. Repercussions? Does this even make a sense? I believe, yes. Some people do get disconnected afterwards, and this is a loss; a repercussion that requires a good solution. Wikimania Singapore made some sense in responding to this.
Drupal blog: Drupal 10 will be supported until the release of Drupal 12 in mid-late 2026
New major release schedule
Beginning with Drupal 10, a new Drupal major version will be released every two years in even years (2022, 2024, etc.). Each major version will receive active support for about two years, followed by maintenance support and security coverage for about two more years. Each is supported until two more major versions have been released.
This is an example. The exact schedule varies, and will be published on the Drupal core release schedule.
Drupal 11 will be released in 2024
Drupal 11 will be released sometime in 2024. Like Drupal 9.0 and 10.0, Drupal 11.0 has three potential release windows, in June, August, and December. The window used will depend on when the beta requirements are complete. For more information, refer to the Drupal core release schedule.
Drupal 11 alpha development opens this week
Following the release of 10.2.0-beta1, changes to 11.x that diverge from Drupal 10 under the continuous upgrade path will begin. Anyone can get involved in completing the requirements for Drupal 11. Join the #d11readiness channel in the Drupal community Slack.
Maintenance minor versions of Drupal 10
Following the release of Drupal 11.0.0 in 2024, a long-term support phase for Drupal 10 begins, and it will include a new maintenance minor every six months. Each maintenance minor will contain a limited set of changes backported from Drupal 11. For more information, refer to the Drupal core release process overview.
Use a supported PHP version for the best ongoing support
Maintenance minor releases for Drupal 10 will keep adding support for newer PHP versions as they are released. The minimum supported PHP version for Drupal core follows the PHP core team’s support cycle. (Reference: What does it mean for a PHP version to be supported?)
Site owners wishing to take advantage of Drupal 10’s long-term support phase should ensure their platforms always use PHP versions supported by the PHP maintainers.
