Ok so I inadvertently almost hijacked my own thread discussing the MotoGP racers, so I am starting a new one.
Opinions on the quality of the AMA Pro Racing coverage seems to range from "it's ok" to "it used to be so much better". Anyone care to discuss some specific ideas as to what you think would make it better?
Let me clarify - tangible, constructive ideas. "Burn it to the ground" isn't tangible. What would get you to tune in, be interested in it, discuss it, and maybe GO to the races?
Could it be better? I am sure. To me it feels like it has improved and probably isn't anywhere close to where it was before. They have done some coverage from the pits with Hayes and others, talked about some of the stuff that they do to the bikes versus stock rides, they talk to the riders in the pits.
I appreciate they are covering it in a way that a street-only rider can learn a little and it offers insight into a sport that gets a fraction of Speed's obvious target audience (NASCAR). The races are usually on a time delay and Daytona was a mess this year, but I personally am not going to cite those are reasons not to watch. Name one show that never has a clunker of an episode?
fwiw, I know we have a couple of local riders racing in the AMA. I appreciate what they do and cheer them on even when I only see their names across the top ticker. Josh Galster, Dalton Dimick, and Ricky Orlando have been out there a few times, with Galster coming in just behind series-leader Eslick at Miller. Way to go guys!
