I'm going to recommend you do a few things... download from
www.bittorrent.com - then goto
www.racing-underground.com and download the races to your heart's content.
AMA Pro Racing has just been sold:
http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Mar/080307z.htm That would be to NASCAR. I don't see how that is a good thing, though maybe with the big machine it would break it farther into other markets. Or, maybe it will crush it with roundy-round ideals.
AMA not having rules to allow for manufacturers like Ducati IMHO kill their involvement and make the Euros not want to do more here. They didn't care much about the circuits here... and with winning titles with bigger fish, why would they care?
