Ever wonder why motorcycle racing isn't on TV more?

AMA took away the two races that I always looked forward to going to - Race 2 at the end of the season at Laguna and California Speedway.

They dropped (or lost, depending what you read) Road Atlanta this year, too. Bad move.

I would wager there are more fans show up at a WSRMC event at Willow Springs...

I agree that the schedule is too lax with too many requirements for a track promoter to hurdle to want to put on their show. The racing is better than it has been for 3-4 years but there are no big names there...remember when top European riders would come over for purse money? Haha no longer...
