So they announce the race series the day before the series starts.

Way to help out Joe Privateer, AMA.

Well to make it interesting, since we have all seen them raced as dirt track bikes and prepped out and roadraced before, they need to make it a 'supertracker' series, where they take the same bike and dirt oval it one weekend, roadrace it the next, motard track it the next TT style, then total the points at the end. With limited mods to focus on each style it would really take a hell of a rider to survive and win! A true champ!

That is exactly what I'm talking bout!

This just continues the DMG's NASCAR-ization of motorcycle racing. The XR1200 is heavy, slow and doesn't turn well, just like a NASCAR racer.
