I haven't watched any AMA races in the last 3-4 years.

They were going downhill before DMG bought them.

That's true but at least the race schedule and the TV schedule were almost aligned.

Almost.

I say adopt WSBK rules. Run 2 classes and make the rules stick for seasons ata time. Control tire and all. That is the only way to attract team owners not associated with manufacturers factory rides, then the crowds will come back, sponsors will see a benefit and return, and talent will develop

I think there is a control tire... I agree on every other count though. You know what I'd like to see? A stock class... run what ya can buy off the showroom floor, no mods other than safety and adjustments to the stock equipement. That will separate the men from the boys! Oh and no "cheater bikes", whether they be R1 LE's or Buell RRs. If they want to limit that, the easy way would be to put a price restriction on the bikes, say under $15,000 retail. No other restrictions. That should allow every manufacturer into the game! Busas vs Super Dukes and anything in between!

well i was kind of just including the spec tire rule that wsbk has and ama dmg adopted this year.

I think a showroom stock class would be fun and really have run many stockers in club events but...this is supposed to be professional...
