well I watched there show last night
wasnt worth watching the guy in the studio took away from watching racing but they didnt show much anyway. not worth recording. Freddie Spencer should go away as well as seheen or what ever the hell his name is.
DMG should turn there racing over to CCS

Give them a break. They at least showed a couple of laps of racing in between all of the commercials. LOL

Its not fair that the L.P.G.A. gets more airtime than A.M.A., I know that a lot of people on here like golf, I still dont care-golf sux.  Even if SPEED showed the races in the wee hours the next morning, its better than watchin it two weeks later.  I think there is a market for a camera crew and reporter to webcast practice, qualifying, and the race.  I would join an online membership to see all of those live.  It would have to be dedicated to providing live, and extensive coverage.  Anybody got a camera?

Watched today. It was pretty bad. Timing well thought out so they could not have any in studio guests.

Last year was much better. Not sure who thinks this is a better format.

OMFG I thought it was HORRIBLE!  Freddie sounded drunk.  Or at the very least like he tried to quit caffeine cold turkey after a ten cups of coffee a day habit.  I usually blow it off when people rip him on these forums but that was horrid.  At one point when going over the grid he said Neil Hodgson was on the Corona Suzuki!!!

OTT does a pretty good job!  www.onthethrottle.tv

last year they had some coverage of the CCS races @ VIR.  that was pretty cool to see myself railing through T3 !  (well, at least i "thought" i was going fast!)

with all the channels i've got on dish network i can't beleive there's only one hour of racing all weekend  and i fell asleep in the middle . please pinks 'pinks all out pinks unplugged then there's the stunt bike show how many BS wheelies can you watch. even the skate boarders have more shows . maybe  the ama wants too much for a smaller channel to take a chance on filming i did see a film crew at palm beach  probably a spanish network . but that's ok at least its something.

Another communistic outfit I think is superbike planet, these guys seem to really hate DMG and all their trying to do, no support for anything DMG.
Every article I read over there is so obviously biased it makes me wonder who or what entity is behind all of their BS.
Never any info on CCS, sometimes on WERA etc.
There's something wrong over there.

I saw one of their stupid poles tonight, 4 stupid choices to their smartass question about the Buell winning at  Fontana, downright un-American I say.
  some folks don't like the new rules, but that's what is, deal with it.

  I have a suspicion that MIC is behind all of their snidely remarks, dogging DMG at every opportunity, cheap attacks, poorly hidden amongst the flurry of wise ass words.

I look for a email address or contact page, can't find it, their hiding out.

They are damaging the sport in America in my opinion.

Damn.

So what you're saying is you don't like Superbike Planet?

First of all "communistic"???? I won't even go there.

Secondly, SP is run by Dean Adams, a huge fan and historian of racing. The material is his own, save for a handful of contributors. There is a lot of opinion and satire, but last I checked we still have freedom of speech and expression. I absolutely hate Bill Maher but he's entitled to share his opinions for the entertainment of the people who agree with him. I don't watch his show. See how simple that is?

Do you know what MIC is?? Motorcycle Industry Council. A non-profit organization like the AMA. I'm certain Buell is involved, along with the other OEMs. I don't think they're behind the Buell smearing. That's rediculous.

And lastly, why is it "un-American" to pick on the rules of the Daytona Sportbikes class? No one is ripping on the Buell, (if they were, it would be un-American, un-Canadian,  and un-Japanese since the bike is basically equal parts of each) Most are upset that DMG classified an 1125cc liquid cooled dohc twin with 600cc fours. Rightfully so, but I wont get into that here. Its a shame that this has to reflect poorly on Eslick, because he's an exceptional rider and great kid, but that's another story.

I do find the communist reference humorous. Totalitarianism is probably a better description.

maybe people are looking at it historically, ie, the application of communism has often had a totalitarian theme during the 20th century....just a thought.

gotta admit, though.....Speed's version of "coverage" of AMA sucks, no matter what label it stuck on it.

LOL.

True about the application of communism, really just communism in name.

But at least F1 is starting this weekend.

And what is up with Stewert throwing away another win.

Understood.....have been doing "Animal Farm" with my Historical World Lit class the last couple weeks so application of communism has been a topic of coversation ( Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, etc).

I just look forward to WSB myself....fun to watch and not so much drama. :biggrin:
