Daytona,05

If the AMA is going to continue down-sizing,.......it's going to end up
racing mini-bikes at the local super-market parking lot.

Down size the track, down size the motorcycles,to 600s formerly
f/xtreme,which used to be the high hp class,but allow 750 twins of
ducati,& 1000 twins of harley/buell?? whats up with that? in a race
that's supposed t be the premiere SBK race of the season.
Damn I'm corn-fused

And two questions
Why are Yamaha,&Kawasaki shying away?
And is Honda that afraid of Suzuki?

Then to say that Mugel's win ties that of Russell's? not in my book.

I think middleweight SB just isn't nasty enough to be the premier class.

In AMA. And Honda isn't in SS1000 or SS600 because they're not
competitive when that close to stock.

I think Yamaha and Kawasaki US are too chickenshit to take part.

There's nothing wrong with having:-
SB - Main Event
600FX (or WSS600) - Support event
1000ss - Privateers
600ss - Novices

But this needs to be clearly signposted by the organisers that that's
how the 4 classes stack up and that's what they're intended to be. The
problem is the ambiguous way that the 2 SS classes are promoted and that
the factories are allowed to be involved. Perhaps key to this was that
FX was presented as a new development whereas really it's an evolution
from the old 600ss. Perhaps they should have downgraded 600ss when 600FX
was introduced.
