Motorcyclist or Sportrider magazine had an article a couple months back on how the AMA racing series is badly managed, how fans at the races have a terrible time actually finding out when the different classes will be run, often with last minute changes at events. There's still so much talent and so much promise though- different managers, more coherent classes not run during the same heats would make a huge difference.
I got a crackpot idea for an AMA racing class a couple days ago at work- 1000 cc boosted, kind of a mini-motogp league.
I'd probably make the whole series run with spec superchargers to make it easier for riders/teams and the sanctioning body could easily limit power output this way. If you limit the size of the intake manifold and blower you can keep all the different bikes within a narrow power range, maybe just 20 or so more horsepower than the superbike class currently makes.
MotoGP only has so many open spots for riders and this would help teams without the money or know-how for a bespoke, all handmade prototype to compete in an elevated class of the fastest bikes.
Dunno, what do you guys and gals think?
