Looks like we have some weather. Go Benny!

I know its a bit early, and these AMA threads are like a tree falling in the forest, but I'm a bit pumped and excited. So .... it. I've had several sleepless nights preparing for the event. I predict Benny Solis will win at Infineon! Yeah, I'm calling it now, we are destined for a WIN...

According to Soup, the upcoming Austin track is a strong candidate for a third Moto GP race in the states. http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2011/Apr/110407texas2.htm Three races would give Moto GP a strong presence in the US. Does anyone think this could nix a factory comeback in the AMA...

AMA superbike has reappeared on motorstv over here. As far as i can tell there is no sign of Supersport or DSB class, but superbikes is something. So, to any of you guys in the US following the series, a heads up for any particularly great races would be appreciated as i doubt i'll have time...

Ok guys, the AMA season is about to begin this weekend. A few updates. I've been a bit involved with Benny Solis, who had previous been riding with Graves. He scored three WERA national titles in 2010, but unfortunately was not rewarded for the effort. Graves pulled the plug about a few...

Was released yesterday, if you are interested. AMA RULE BOOK

2011 schedule released, as of now, arguably, 2 of the best events, Road Atlanta, and Barber are not on the schedule. Fontana gone, which is good, i hate rovals. They will not .... can Daytona if no one shows up, but cant put a deal together for 2 of their most attended events. Obviously they...

I don't know if SBK Planet is trying to generate hits or if they have some credible evidence. Regardless, Dean Adams is reporting that rumors have emerged from EICMA about Eraldo Ferracci running a Monster Ducati team in AMA SBK with John Hopkins as the #1 rider. LINK This rumor sounds far...

DSB QP1 Results SBK QP1 Results Very important weekend ahead, but some bad news has come to light about next season. On OTT's live show, both Dave Williams and Evan Williams revealed that Suzuki will not be paying any riders for next season. Despite reductions in cost, running an SBK team...

LINK Miller in support of WSBK, and Laguna in support of MotoGP. This is a great twist in the plot for 2011. I hope this brings more people into the AMA for the 2011 season. Lots of people need a ride.

Looks like we lost a few threads about AMA and WSBK this weekend. Sorry if they were intentionally removed, feel free to remove again, I suppose. AMA SBK Race 1 resutls Hayden gets robbed by the red flag!!!! AMA DSB Race 1 Results Top 3 in championship separated by 5 points.

This idea popped into my head, while watching MotoGP's Brno round in 2010. I think that developing new riders, from any country, that I would HOPE include the United States should be a high priority, with help from both manufacturers and former racing stars, like Kenny Roberts and his family...

Set your DVR's b/c both Saturday races were photo finish caliber, and lot's of significant stuff for the championship. DSB Race 1 SBK Race 1

Free Practice 1 AMA Pro National Guard Superbike Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Monterey, California July 23, 2010 Free Practice Times (all on Dunlop tires): 1. Tommy Hayden (Suz GSX-R1000), 1:24.988 2. Josh Hayes (Yam YZF-R6), 1:25.263 3. Jake Holden (Suz GSX-R1000), 1:25.388 4. Larry...

Okay, I'll start the thread. Mid Ohio this weekend. Tommy leads Josh by 1 pt. Herrin leads Eslick by 18. Things should be interesting this weekend. I think it looks good for Hayes this weekend. I expect Cardenas to make a move if he can keep the bike upright.

Blake Young crashed heavily at the Barber test, but he continued to ride. It turns out he broke his L1 vertabrae and he will be out for at least one month. LINK

Does anybody give a .... around here? I do. 9708:AMA SB RA.png] 9709:AMA DSB RA.png]

So anyone catch Hangtown this past weekend? Did anyone feel weird watching the front runners in both classes scratching your head asking yourself, wtf are these guys doing up front? Jumkie's pissed right now because of Reed, but I have to say he was the only guy riding like he was trying to...
