Title: Re: AMA/DMG '09 classes & rules released Post by: darylbowden on July 20, 2008, 08:18:42 AM I think this is a good thing and I think that if any of the factories raise any kind of stink the public will react.
Looking forward to next year, but I'm curious about the grid sizes in Factory Superbike - how many bikes are there actually gonna be? Title: Re: AMA/DMG '09 classes & rules released Post by: gm2 on July 20, 2008, 08:30:07 AM “Works bikes, salaried star riders, rules written by and requested by the manufacturers, special tires, no-holds barred superbike racing by the strongest teams in America.....what more could a racing fan ask for?” said Edmondson. “It will be a shooting war among the big guns and the meek need not apply.”
weren't you the guy who wanted to make 600s the premier class and then have a ridiculous greatly restricted liter bike class.. until you found out that the OEMs were planning their own series.. and if they were going to have their own series, they were going to pull out of sponsoring many of the current tracks.. which would make your NASbike series just about impossible to run? isn't that what happened? douchebag. but yeah, i'm looking forward to next year and i'm looking forward to the progression to WSBK rules. maybe we can get some non-american riders in this series eventually. or at least have the world think of it as a serious place to be. as for the grid now, mm, about 6 bikes...
