Geeze, is there an AMA series that is not just dominated by one or two guys? I watched this one for a while. The opening portion was pretty good.

It seems the way in US bike racing these days, most series are dominated by a couple of guys on teh best bikes, everyone else seems to be making up the numbers?

It's quite depressing actually. Because it really should be much better.

Caught this one as well. And yes, it is as bad as AMA superbike. Just give Reed the title now and ask him to leave. At least the racing would be a bit better.

Reedy gets the win in Toronto - five more rounds, 20 points in hand. Should be plenty as long as he stays error-free...
(Or at least more error-free than K-Dub!) |
