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?

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist"
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"?Originally Posted by TFOGGuys

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.
