Just goes to show you that with enough of the rules stacked in their favor, even a Hardley (NHRA) or a Buell (AMA) can win.

haha... kinda hard to spoil soured milk!
I just watched the last race and they mentioned that Aprillia won't be competing with the 600's next year but funny... they didn't say anything about Buell... go figure.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Don't even get me start on this joke of a series. Wonder how much Buell paid DMG/AMA to bend the rules in there favor. Come on, an 1125 in a 600 series? give me a break. I can see the 675 and 848, but the 1000's have got to go.

Well, you know how they've got to give the Hardley guys double the displacement to be even remotely competitive. Look at NHRA Pro Stock bike rules as a perfect example.

THAT will be great. See, they're playing by the displacement rules.Plus, they're sexay and sound great. Bring it!

Congrats to Danny Eslick and BMC.

It was too bad Cardenas wasn't healthy to put up a fight the last few races, Herrin rode really well though and should be fun to watch next year. I will be watching to see what Eslick does on a different bike next year.
This was probably the best weekend of racing all year with Hayes giving Mladin all he could handle and more, was a shame it took until the end of the year for them to get the bike right, could have been a lot more interesting.
Despite all the drama I am still a watcher, if they would just move the damn Buell out of the Daytona class I would be a lot more interested next year. Would also be nice if Ducati fielded another rider in addition to Pegram, maybe someone on an 848?
Slow and fat, but entertaining...
