Last night, i sat up and watched AMA DSB and ASB from 12 till 2 am, since it was kind of same day.
First, let me say that the racing in DSB is very good and entertaining, but that is not the problem with the series. Like someone said, you can match equally performaing lawn mowers and have good racing.Daytona Sport Bike is full contact bike racing because of the different bikes and their different strengths and to put it bluntly,is dangereous. Lets start with the Buell, which is one of my favorite whipping boys. The performance advantage that bike has in acceleration is stupid and causes much of the dangerous riding. Eslick can park the Buell in a turn,get passed by 2 bikes and power back by them when he finally picks up the throttle. It is causing the 600 guys to ride above their heads to try and make a pass stick. . Davies must have passed Eslick 5-6 times before he finally made it stick and that was against a 1000cc twin. Superbike is Superstock, the racing is a little closer but Mladin has a five race lead in the points,how is that better than last year when we had real Superbikes.
