DMG Announces 2009 AMA Pro Racing Plans

2009 AMA Pro Racing Factory Superbike Rules

2009 AMA Pro Racing American Superbike Rules

2009 AMA Pro Racing Daytona Superbike Rules

So, will Ducati race in American and Daytona superbike or not at all in 2009?

I think this is a good thing and I think that if any of the factories raise any kind of stink the public will react.

Looking forward to next year, but I'm curious about the grid sizes in Factory Superbike - how many bikes are there actually gonna be?

“Works bikes, salaried star riders, rules written by and requested by the manufacturers, special tires, no-holds barred superbike racing by the strongest teams in America.....what more could a racing fan ask for?” said Edmondson. “It will be a shooting war among the big guns and the meek need not apply.”

weren't you the guy who wanted to make 600s the premier class and then have a ridiculous greatly restricted liter bike class.. until you found out that the OEMs were planning their own series.. and if they were going to have their own series, they were going to pull out of sponsoring many of the current tracks.. which would make your NASbike series just about impossible to run?  isn't that what happened?  douchebag.

but yeah, i'm looking forward to next year and i'm looking forward to the progression to WSBK rules.  maybe we can get some non-american riders in this series eventually.  or at least have the world think of it as a serious place to be.

as for the grid now, mm, about 6 bikes...

So they've succeeded in killing Supersport, the class that offered the most actual racing of the whole weekend.

What a clusterf*ck.

or, all they really did was resurrect superstock and of the 600s, kept fx.

well, more like fx-lite.

the new dmg classes are: superbike, superstock-ish, and supersport-ish...

they're gonna have a really hard time performance indexing the bigger engines in the supersport-ish class.
