I watched some it Sat night.  I know everyone has been pregnant doging, but I still couldn't believe how awful it was.  Absolutely awful.  And a week late. 

WHAT

THE

make the beast with two backs?
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

i really had a lot of hope and guarded excitement about the DMG AMA.

no more.

they are either doing this [motorcycles] because they think they can turn them into nascar pt. 2 or because they want to kill the sport completely, making room for more nascar.

either way, it's over.

so i finally watched a few minutes of the various episodes of ama pro primetime i have recorded

first, shaheen is, somehow, even worse here.  dude can't read cue cards.

worst off, ok, i understand that these shows are some inexcusable amount of time after the actual races, but in the first few moments of the show what do you get? 

race results.

Awesome pic. I love NASCAR. I love all forms of racing. World of Outlaws is the best. I know you over educated misenthropes don't like it, but waaaa :'(

Oh yeah, that is either Talladega or Daytona. The only 2 restrictor plate races in the season.

I'll agree on the WoO. Sprint cars rock, especially at places like the high banks of Winchester where they're flat out. Good stuff.

I used to like NASCAR, but it just got to be too much. They let Chevy run a non-conforming body for 5 years and rack up championship after championship, but Toyota builds a good motor that's got some power and BAMMM!!!! they get restricted within a few races. Pull too far away from Jeff Gordon? BAM! "Competition yellow" to bunch everyone up. Everyone all bunched up? BAM, some dipshit crashes half the field on the last lap and we get a stupid "green-white-checkered" ending, all the while with Darryl Waltrip shouting out non-sensical crap.

Nope. NASCAR has left me behind.

OT

I heard somewhere that DMG is trying to make the bikes bigger so the ad decals are more visible.  Might bring back sidecar racing in 2010; lots of ad space on those puppies...

So now I watched the Supersport race on Saturday - 2 weeks after the event. Nothing to write home about, but I sez to myself, at least I can watch race 2 of the Superbikes.   [popcorn]  Even though I've already heard the outcome despite desperate attempts not to. But no, they're showing race 2 NEXT WEEK! Next week is 3 friggin weeks after the race!

I'm out.

I had the dvr set yesterday for what was supposed to be AMA motorcycle racing and they swapped in some sort of truck racing on a dirt track.....    wtf is going on?
09’ 848     07’ S2R800

gm2

you should just think of it as there is no ama road racing coverage.

onthethrottle.com is about as close as you'll get
