The Canadian National Series is Hooped

[Papa_Complex]

Update: Now if you race a R1 or any 2010 model of Yamaha, you can't do it in the Canadian national series.

Yup, doesn't matter. You can run your 2009- R6 in 2010, but your R1 of ANY year is out in Superbike.

Wow.

Organizers added that they plan, and look forward to, reinstating Yamaha in the Feature category when the manufacturer is able to return to participate in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship Series.

I hope Yamaha tells them to go fuck themselves.

Yamaha already did, by bowing out of national series support this season. This is the 'return fire.'

Funny thing is that it will affect privateers more than Yamaha themselves.

I mean in the future.

Like karl said, this will hurt racers more than it will the factory.

I hope the sanctioning body backs away from their "tough guy" stance due to pressue from the field and not due to Yamah caving in.

The discussion about requesting a change has been running on the local racing board for a few days now, and some people are talking about petitions, letters, etc..Truth is that only 6 Yahamas were on the track in Superbike last year; two in the top 10 and one of the others was a R6. Half the field were on Suzuki, who have also apparently withdrawn support. I have my doubts that Suzuki will get the same treatment that Yamaha did.
