What a shame....

Hopefully there will be some closer racing with all the changes.I can't wait to see how Hayes does on the new R1 and Young on the GSXR 1000.

The Superbikes are the fastest, the hardest to ride and most fun to watch. That's your premier class.

Was, but isn't so much all the time.  At Laguna, all the MotoGP crew went out to watch all the Supersport stuff because the bikes would actually move around and stuff vs the inline stuff of AMA superbike factory stuff and MotoGP ECM/controls.

What if Mladin runs the table this season? What if he wins every race by 10 seconds?

He didn't last year all the time.  If he does this year, I'd say that he'd be recognize as a very, very good rider.  But they are racing American Superbike or what ever.  He'll have some issues with the chassis vs the big forks and all that he's used to using.

1st thing - learn how to read. (not trying to offend you or anything)

Damn you!  LOL!

2nd - i said if you hold any number from 1-10 you will decided if you want to use it or not, now like they said on the previous post YAMAHA was reserving #2, 4, 6 with out really earning them...

In NASCAR, as an example, those are just numbers.  They don't represent a position.  Was Yamaha one of the first to commit to the series as a US based distributor?  I would think they got first shot at deciding what numbers to us.  Maybe Jordan was first, but, again, they probably wanted 23. 

Regardless, it's in the hands of AMA Pro Racing.

well i dont know if anything after # 3 works like that i figured that it was giving. upto #10 of course.

Funny how you went from telling one of the most experienced guys in the paddock to learn how to read to this.


The fact is youre wrong, im sure there is another series here in the states and maybe one or two in europe, but for the most part the only place where the top 10 rule is in effect is CCS overall standings(in the states).

then as far as ASRA, they are the only one, all the other club racing LIKE I SAID ( CCS which is the one i stated ) does not do it like that and i think the number plate holds no meaning, bc is an overall on who runs more races.




Interesting,I thought the hole point was to win the overall plate,The Championship.I dont think its as simple as just running a bunch of races.I found it to be a real challenge.Try racing 8 to 10 races on sunday and push 100% and see where you r at the end of the year.There will always be 4 or 5 riders going for the overall plate.Running 3 races in a row in the middle of summer in florida is difficult.Then add in the performance index to make it even harder.All CCS would have to do is have selective races that went towards the over all plate.But there will always be sombody stepping up to the plate to win it,so you have to race with them if you want to win it to,so.....the most points win.I agree its bs that someone can run a bunch of races and win it( it still takes a very good rider to win it)but those r the rules,and why theres a performance index attached only to the over all points and not class points.Just like the class championship you can be the fastest but if you dont finish your races you wont win,being consitant  wins champioships at all levels of racing.I think if you tried to win the overall plate and won it you would think differently,like i said its not easy even for the fastest guy.I guess i just needed to say somthing about the overall plate not having any meaning,dont knock it if you havent tried it!!!!!!!!!!!!!And it gives none talented riders like myself somthing to win.
