Angry what is up with DMG??!!!!

I don't get it???!!! 1st they try to transform SBK from a premier class racing to a big club racing. 2nd we cant even see the races until after 2weeks later??!!!

I like what Ben Spies said... its jacked up at every level... http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2009/Mar/090305nsxa.htm

Ok, they say they want to make the competition level. Yesterday's race RESULT (below) clearly shows it's not just the machine that matters. Doesn't that Pegram dude have the fastest bike??? + 10th place is something like 38seconds behind... they call this an improvement???


what a joke!!!!!!!

Holy fack, I didn't even read that far before I started to post my reply

Yeah, no spoilers. People will have forgotten this race happened by the time it's on TV

DMG DID NOT "transform" SBK in a club race.....the rules they are running, with the exception of spec. tires/fuel, are the same rules established 2 YEARS AGO by the AMA and the factories...

Pegram may/may not have the fastest bike (Young was also clocked at 199, in practice). The race was close.

As far as the TV package.......I agree, it sucks!

Natural consequence when NASCAR tries to take over a premier bike series.

^ Yeah it doesn't look the best but I'll still head out to R.A this year to check it out. Maybe with the speed network NASCRAP will see people actually want to watch it on tv within a day of it.
