    This whole AMA Pro Time is stupid. They only showed Superbike Race 1 last weekend. So irritating. And on a SATURDAY NIGHT?!

    Piss on the DMG/AMA, my question is why can we only watch one WSB race on Sunday?

    The Buell needs to have tractor weights added for the handicap factor. What a joke. 1100's vs 600's The AMA needs a course on apples-to-apples. Jamie Hacking should have nailed the damn goof in the corners. This isn't racing.

    Agreed. Test rode a Buell at the AMA race in Fontana a couple of weeks ago and was not impressed

    Buell was 15th with the other 1k's, and it was the only one in the race.They might be stronger in a couple of years. Kind of a strange race. What the hell was that with Hayden/Yates. Yates back ended him?

    Just rubbed off part of the sticker. Any more than a love tap and he'd been down.

    Agreed…
    It’s a DOHC and I believe 4 valves per cylinder motor. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I thought most race organizations only allowed 4 valves per cylinder V-Twin displacements up to 850cc to run with this class. Very strange, but I’m sure Danny Eslick is enjoying himself…

    I thought the announcing was weak and the rolling start for the 600’s seems odd. But I did enjoy seeing Larry Pegram do well. And it was also cool to watch the Superbike running order and keep up with how Colorado’s own Josh Graham and Brad Hendry were doing. It’s great to see MRA talent representing nationally!
