 Yep, probably the closest series we had in  bike racing to access Nascar fans, with the dirt tracks and all, and it gets axed. Their research in PR is showing it's weaknesses. ???

Can I make a prediction? More bail outs will follow. JMHO  ::)

I had heard FUSA was caput for 2004 until Suzuki fluffed it up with some cash in return for the 750 Sportbike class

Please allow me to clear this up.

As of this moment there are no major sponsors for Formula USA other than contingency sponsors and associate sponsors. There was no cash infusion from anyone, the decision to go forward was based on last years numbers of entries and contingency support from our sponsors. We are at square one trying to build/re-build this program with limited, but much appreciated, support.

Thanks to all those who support Formula USA Road Racing.

Hey K.E.,

Heard some interesting things at the Indy Dealer Expo.  Are we going to see something soon about road racing crossed with something else "moto" based?  And will it be CCS centered or FUSA centered?
