Jamie has had serious issues with DMG the whole time. No one knows what he whispered to Eslick during Disalvos interveiw, but Disalvo was talking with Eslick during Hackings interveiw.

What we do know is Disalvo tried to make something out of it and Hacking let his steam vent. BTW he was not the only one suspended this weekend...

Additionally, AMA Pro Road Racing also placed riders Michael Beck, Kevin Boisvert, Mat Mladin, Mark Simon and Dustin O'Hara on probation due to failure to participate in Sunday's mandatory autograph session.

It was mentioned on several boards that once DMG bought the series, they would quickly rewrite the rules so the buells would start winning...so they can attract the boat anchor crowd...Bruce Rossmeyer's bike won...Owns Daytona Harley Davidson and Destination Daytona Complex in Ormond beach... Why would anyone be surprised at this??? Welcome to Two Wheel Nascar!

Ya'll don't remember when Schwantz and Rainey wouldn't even glance at each other on the podium. Gardner would kick at anyone spraying champagne (whether he was on teh podium or not). Doohan looking like someone shot his dog when he finished second...

Oh for the good old days...

DMG reminds me a lot of verticlescope/motorcycle.com with their business models...let's wait a year and see where AMA racing stands in the marketplace

Well, it is shitty so far, but no worse than it has been for the last 5 years or so... The Suzuki show got a wee bit boring.

Whether you like it or not, you can't argue the financial success of NASCAR. Unfortunately it looks like much of that model may be getting applied to AMA Racing, without first thinking if it is actually applicable.
