Like it or not, here we go! :blink:
Whatever your feeling about the matter or how crippled it may be, American road racing kicks off this weekend at everyone's favorite track, Daytona. I won't rehash the ton of new stories coming at a frantic pace from Superbikeplanet (http://www.superbikeplanet.com/newind.htm/) and RoadracingWorld (http://www.roadracingworld.com/) or go into a tirade about the new rules and classes nor will I express my disappointment in the terrible new TV package but instead, will keep an open mind and see if it's a series worth watching or if I could see equally good racing by attending a local club event.
It appears the 200 is on Friday night sort of live with a 30 minute delay to broadcast? Actually, the Supercross on Saturday night sounds more interesting to me than a bunch of nearly bone stock 600's going round and round but from what I can tell, that won't even be shown live? We get to see the superbike class in a few weeks in some sort of "program" format hosted by none other than our favorite, Shouty Ralph. (Which is totally bogus but I said I wasn't going there)
I guess the only pull to watch is the riders we are familiar with and to see if the whole thing turns out to be a disaster. Maybe they'll DQ the 200 winner again just to add some intrigue?
Speaking of intrigue, what's up with Rog Hayden?
So, Doobers, after an off season lull and a bit of burnout spending so many hours trying to keep this joint going and keeping up with MotoGP, F1, Indycar and SBK, we're ready once again to head into the racing season with full force. If you haven't visited for a while, welcome back! We've got targeted advertising that will hit in a few weeks that will hopefully bring some new blood and life to the boards but until then guys, let's not be shy about posting and try to get this joint rolling again. Thx!
