Hi.
In previous years I have kept in touch with the happenings in Daytona,
from my side of the pond here in Ireland, on the AMA superbike
website. It always had lots of useful info. including all practice
times, race results and live timing.
I can't seem to find any mention of this on the website this year from
the new regime. Does anyone know if this information is going to be
available this year?
Thanks for any help
Max

You mus be mistaken, the old AMA was lame, inept, corrupt and stupid
and could not have provided any info that would be useful to fans, and
the new DMG organization is awesome, smart and knows how to promote
racing so there is no way things could be worse now then it was before.

My goodness, Bruce, it could be that the Irish don't have Google over
there - and it could be they don't understand sarcasm (wiki says it's
the lowest form of wit). At any rate, Google says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Daytona_AMA_Superbike_Championship_round
http://www.grandprixcities.com/travelamasuperbikes.html

These are the top three on this side of the pond :)

Now thats a laugh....
Aside from Roger Edmonson the rest of the DMG group includes Colin
Frasier of the Canadian Superbike series. I have seen first hand what
a Colin Fraiser event is and know how he deals with staff. The fact
it is the series that almost WASN"T should be an indication that
decisions will be made regardless of what others think or want.
DMG almost bought the equivalent of Florida swampland when the series
pretty much tanked before they even had a race and all because of
THEIR rulebook. I am not sure if I call that a smart organization
when they can barely promote it to the manufacturers.
I have FULL respect for Roger Edmonson. He is a sharp businessman and
loves his racing. Formula USA, NASB. Nothing else needs to be
said.
Colin.... Well it is amazing what the show looks like vs what goes
on behind the scenes. What the fan doesn't see won't hurt him I
guess...... but counting chickens before they have hatched I would
rather wait and see if it is better.

What about the fact that he's a chronic liar? Oh, sorry, you
acknowledged that he's a sharp businessman...
