That's it, the AMA is COMPLETELY retarded......

Racing during the week?!?! WTF?!?! Hey, AMA/DMG, what little chance you HAD of anybody sitting down to watch an afternoon of now amatuer "racing" is gone. Racing is for weekends, remember?

Yep. Honestly, I think that's the last straw for me. I'm done with the AMA. In light of the fact that there will be no real Pro teams this year and no real Pro riders, perhaps the AMA now stands for the "Amatuer Motorcyclist Association"?

Man, that SUCKS! We INVENTED Superbike racing........way to go assholes......

Moving the Superbike race from Saturday to Thurs is a gamble.
I guess they're assuming that the Bike Week crowd are also race fans.
We'll see.
