Reminder. There will be Professional Racing this weekend

WSBK returns with action at Qatar. I will be so happy to see real professional racing,with real race bikes,on a real race track. with no pace cars,no full course yellows, no timing and scoring snafu's, and no blatant manipulation of rules [DMG and Buell makes WSBK and Ducati look legit] .Since that was the only AMA race that will be shown on a semi live or same day,or same weekend basis,it will be the last AMA race i will see this year.Moto GP needs to start earlier and just run every other weekend with WSBK running when they are not.

Are the times on there local Qatar times?

Those times are local times for Losail. 7 hours ahead of us on the east coast.

Ducati is legit in SBK. THey have no advantage to the rules vs anyone else. Ok then if a company want to run a twin they have evey right to do so. .... look at BMW and Aprilia. Both of those bikes are not even released and they are racing them so you could make the argument about them being non production bikes at present. But the AMA is now the GayMA and the race was the worst thing I have ever seen. I hope not a single soul put a dime in their coffers. That was such a ........ race. An 1125 motor that is not a Harley motor but a ROTAX motor which used to build the motors for Aprilia is up against the 600's. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT? RSV1000's HUH???? Oh but Ducati has to run the 848 and not even a 1098 or better yet any 1000cc ds motor. THe series won't last and I hope the manufactures get their heads above water so they can make a real series with good bikes with WSBK rules so there is some sort of level playing field for the US riders to play on. FDMG.

I noticed both races were on the same day as well, very good news! Nearly every comment on various articles about WSBK after the PI race had mention of the ......... not showing the two races on the same day. Let's hope Speed has caught a clue and listened to their viewers request of having both races back to back on the same day.
