AMA Daytona 200

I woulda been livid. But I saw how lost DMG was in 09 and just have the lowest expectation possible. Shame really that our talented bunch of racers and teams we have left must contend with this BS...

Word. Been hoping for that for awhile. Drop the XR Races, drop the prepubescent SS series, run 2 Superbike races and 2 Middleweight races per weekend. Let club racing train the up and comers (works for the CMRA and WERA).

With only 2 classes, stable rules, and a forcibly higher grid count you should attract more sponsors, more media attention, and could possibly start paying better further back in the field.

As it is alot of riders are making less than minimum wage on teams funded by shoestrings against 2-3 teams with budgets. No one will bite on that kinda deal knowing it only pays real money if you manage a podium..

You know any other sanctioning body that permits engine changes? Really?

I've no doubt in my mind that stopping the race and letting disalvo start second with a fresh motor stole it from zemke.
