Id like to take this time to complain YET AGAIN of how shitty the layout is of dmg owned ama. Logged on to check out the q1 times and there's no timesheet. No times, no list whatsoever. Just a buttfucking bullshit paragraph that states who came in first and the next three guys. Wtf roundy round faggots? Motorcycle racing fans aren't like your usual drooling retard fans. We want some real data. Thanks

Looks like the 1125 lacks the bite of the 1190. 16th fastest.

27 attempted entries in DSBK, so good turn out there, how many you guys show for DSPBK?

[101lifts2]

I tried the HD version you sent...I didn't see all that much difference. But then again, my tv is da bomb yo.

If you can't tell the difference between HD and standard, that implies just the opposite.

[Dave]

only shit that got posted was an hd copy of the dsb race. check your email for torrent

Ducati gets its first 200 win...Thanks to the DMG allowing them AN ENGINE CHANGE with 15 laps to go...

You know any other sanctioning body that permits engine changes? Really?

I watched it last night and was seething mad. The red flag was bullshit to begin with. They must have interviewed every rider and noone claimed front tire issues but eslick. Race never should have stopped. That engine should never have been allowed to change and he shouldn't have fucking restarted from second. I've no doubt in my mind that stopping the race and letting disalvo start second with a fresh motor stole it from zemke.

[smileyman]

I woulda been livid. But I saw how lost DMG was in 09 and just have the lowest expectation possible. Shame really that our talented bunch of racers and teams we have left must contend with this BS...

Dude crash and twowheelblog don't even cover ama. We need to adopt the bsb rulebook and leave shit be

[tommymac]

I got to watch pickup truck qualifying on speed :td:

Word. Been hoping for that for awhile. Drop the XR Races, drop the prepubescent SS series, run 2 Superbike races and 2 Middleweight races per weekend. Let club racing train the up and comers (works for the CMRA and WERA).

With only 2 classes, stable rules, and a forcibly higher grid count you should attract more sponsors, more media attention, and could possibly start paying better further back in the field.

As it is alot of riders are making less than minimum wage on teams funded by shoestrings against 2-3 teams with budgets. No one will bite on that kinda deal knowing it only pays real money if you manage a podium..

Thanks for the links. :cheers:

Speed played the whole damn thing today!!!

Aside from the political AMA/DMG crap, it was one helluva race!!...I used to go every year to watch, but when Honda dropped out, I lost interest...I can honestly say the race was so good, I'll be returning next year...

So back to the race...It was tight from the start, with lots of great action...Then the freaky incident with DiSalvo losing a cylinder happened...They even interviewed him, and he was saying how his day was done, but they'd be ready for the next race (little did he know his fate)....

Later, a rider would crash for no apparent reason when his front tire tucked in, prompting DMG to have a red flag and long delay of the race...AMA would mandate a front tire change for EVERYONE, citing perceived safety reasons...During the red flag, riders would be interviewed about the condition of the track and state their bikes were more than manageable...

So the race re-started, and the race to the finish rocked!!...Lots of passing, dicing, lead changes, and overall great racing...Right before the finish line was the Josh Herrin debacle, with 3 riders crashing out while battling for the win...

DiSalvo would be the victor, with lots of questions as to why he was allowed back in the race...

I will be watching more AMA this year for sure :)

So the Daytona 147 was won by a bike that should have been reset to scoring on lap one after an engine swap. And the crashers on the final lap that never made it to the finish got red flag scored ahead of other riders that did make it to the finish. And they have timing and scoring that doesnt work right and a control tire that is out of control...

I think it is safe for me to push cancel on the DVR for the rest of this years fiasco...

What

The

Fuck

?

Seriously? If you bin it before crossing the line you should finish without points. I noticed that article completely ignored disalvo restarting from the second position on the grid when he damn sure wasn't there when he retired

That's because they went a lap back from the red flag.

Seems to me that since there was a red flag at the end, the results should be based on one lap back too. :idk:

[defector]

Man, I don't know what the hell is going on with this AMA stuff.

But thanks for the torrents anyway, Dave. :rockwoot:
