But I can say that I am glad I didn't just apply for my AMA Road Racing license right out of AMA Supercross...... I would have been diving into the deep end of the Shark Tank - with an open wound :)

You still have an open wound, it is between your legs and it bleeds once a month....

JBraun, I have a factory ride waiting for me so kiss off.....   Its a factory honda ride acutally.   A factory honda accord, in my driveway...  All factory, except that fram air filter, makes it faster than factory...

Matt and Rob, I agree with yall....


I would like to get my AMA pro license, but at 9 rounds a season, I'll be dead first.

Damn Dustin - is that what my mood swings are from????

We all know I would wear pink leather if I got Tampex to sponsor me

Shit - I might just wear pink leathers anyway :)

Scotty,   Why do I think you are the only one that could pull it off too?

If Tampax sponsored anyone said rider should wear all white (leathers, boots, gloves) with a red helmet.

I think that the AMA has designed a wonderful system to enable you to get a AMA pro card. Racers that know damned good and well that cheat the system and run several classes on race weekends in order to get enough points will surely be disappointed when they go to qualify for a AMA round. They will spend thousands to get there and once there...they will realized that one set of tires will not cut it for the whole weekend <laughs>. They will also have to go thru one more test to cleanse the system of racers not up to par....they have to qualify.

As in the case up at Miller....several racers I know barely made the cut off for qualifying. They were all happy until the grid was limited to 40 riders and anyone that qualified below the top 40 were sent home packing. Those that ride SV's and are unhappy with the way the AMA qualifies its racers need to look at the closing speeds of guys on 600's and especially 1k's in the AMA. I'm sorry to say that SV riders (as a whole) are in no way equipped to jump on a 600 let alone a 1000 and deal with the speed that these guys run in the AMA.

The AMA is not as easy as it looks and just because you can whoop your buddies at the loca track doesnt mean that you have what it takes to run with the big boys. I'm the fastest guy in Arizona that is currently on two wheels and I qualify at the back of the pack for reference.

Here's a link with everything you need to know about qualify for your pro card.... http://www.allstoneallthetime.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1739
