Great replies gentz. I love this place for two reasons, #1 to .... with weak-minded pansies (none of you in that group above, BJC hasn't chimed in...yet), #2, to read some great takes on the sport. I think some good points have been made by all you guys. I learn and also reaffirm some of my own opinion. I agree with the take that Denning is not very good at running a GP team. I also agree that having a fixed number of entries is plumb dumb. Suzuki would certainly bring more interest, as there are many fans of the brand. Also, lets not forget, Suzuki were a fixture in GP racing for many years. Sure they were not a top tier equal to Honda (who practically wrote the rules for many years) but lets not forget, they left after Carmelo made many moves that were detrimental to their racing program. Its not like Suzuki were just a wishy washy entry that came and went, they were here many many years. They chose to work with Bridgestone during the tire war and started to have a bit of success. Then that was snatched away, rules start to change every five minutes, and that was a bit too much once it was coupled with the economic down turn. I'm still boggled why Ducati hung around, as all the rules were also to their detriment. Had they left as they should have, then only two factories would have remains. To tell Suzuki to flug off doesn't make too much sense to me. And who is kidding who, Suzuki would have made great competition for Ducati, which at least would have mad the mid-pack battles a bit more interesting.
