i *really* can't understand what was wrong with making no changes in '09 and getting everyone on the same page for 2010.

I applaud the MIC and the manufacturers...

but that's just me.

They were offered a class that met every need/want they had and they backed out.

Their new series has no post-race teardown.

Who do you trust?

I don't trust any of them... Wink

I don't think the actual rules are really the issue between DMG and the dissenting manufacturers.

It's more complicated than that...always is.

Yeah.  At least club races generally have more than 6-8 bikes on the grid.  I'd rather watch the WSMC Ninja 250 class than watch 6 guys over 35 battle it out to see whose team built the best superbike.  I can't wait until the manufacturers start squabbling with one another over rules, this series will implode SO fast.

I'd rather watch club racing any day.

edit:

This whole thing is kinda like a divorce.

The only ones that will win are the lawyers.

pretty sure you and I aren't him.

This whole thing is way too political/legal to hold my interest.

Someone let me know when there's some decent pro roadracing on the east coast.

Until then those idiots can fistf&%k each other...

and I'll watch WSBK,GP...,and club racing.

Great news.  It seems that the RE/Ray Blank meeting went well.  Hopefully this means that everyone will put their dicks back in their trousers and we'll have a united series next year.

<conspiracy theory>

USSB was merely a ploy by the manufacturers to push AMA/DMG toward what the manufacturers want *now*.
