DMG crap, at least it's entertaining

 First Johnny Rock Page gets suspended for being a roadblock,
supposedly:

then Page's videographer (yes he has one and it sounds like
Page had a mic on) gets this:

then Ludington gets suspended:

I'm trying to delve back in my memory to watching Speed and an advert
that appeared over and over again during MotoGP races. It was something
like MMI or some course to learn to be a mechanic and featured
Luddington saying how doing the course got him the top mechanics job at
Honda. So the answer to all this is clear. Al should go and work in the
personal watercraft industry.

 >You can't make this shit up

Indeed. It's really quite fun watching it from the outside as DMG stick
their foot in their mouth and then various newspapers grab the foot and
shove it somewhere else. Over and over again.

Wow.  I just watched the video and I can't believe how Luddington was
behaving.  Regardless if whether JRP was in the right or in the wrong
on-track, an AMA official should never tee off like that.  Telling the
rider that "he's not it" is damaging to the whole sack-o-shit that DMG
has been pushing for the past year about how the privateers need to be
elevated to equal status and equal access to make the show better.

I must say I've lost all respect for Luddington at this point.
Fortunately for DMG I didn't have any more to lose for them.  However,
if they want to gain any back they'd fire Al.

 

 Oh, I can. No surprise there from Mr. Fourth Sparkplug.


  Regardless if whether JRP was in the right or in the wrong

 You're absolutely right about that.
 But, what do you expect at an over-hyped club race with
out-of-thier-league club racers and out of work former factory
minions?



 They gotta fine him or face more of their own contradictions -- like
the Hacking fine.
 What a POS they've turned the series into. If there are any AMA
members with half a brain connected to the competition side of the
sport they oughta burn Dingman, too.

 
Holy effin' crap.  Whatever wish I had to start watching AMA again now
that they've gone semi-same day coverage just vanished.  Not to
mention that I'm completely canning any plans to attend Heartland Park
this weekend (I'm 40 miles away).  What a complete joke.  I'm done
with the AMA like I was done with the IRL when Tony George imploded
North American open wheeled racing.  Haven't watched it since and I'm
finished with the AMA until someone else takes over.
