I don't think so, it pretty much takes him out of contention for a championship this year.

That is a 100% fair ruling by AMA Pro Racing.

The fine is in line with what a privateer could afford... especially with the anger management class option.

Puts a whole new spin on "you can't win the championship at Daytona, but you sure can lose it."

I think this is an action that does Yate's deeds Justice. Well done, for once.  :D

Imagine! AMA acting like Nascar with the anger management class just like Tony Stewart. I hope he chooses that option cause paying the fine is just gonna pissem off more ;D With the Suzuki fine, I think all seems appropriate.

Do or do not, there is no "try".

I suppose that if you think about it as what a privateer can afford, that's a pretty steep fine.  5K would finish me for the season!  Yates makes a bit more.  You have to wonder how the Suzuki fine will be handled.  I still wish Yosh would just fire him.  Think of how many fast privateers there are out there just waiting for a shot like that.  (insert your local hero here)  Think what a message it would send to the prima donna pros if one of their own was tossed for bad behavior and replaced with a rising star.  Actually, Yosh has nothing to lose here.  With the bad finish at Daytona and the suspension their year is pretty mush shot, so they'd be just as well off to try to develop some fresh talent.
The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"
