    ya, not rly. that was just 2 guys occasionally passing for the lead - and not even on the final lap. no one had any good saves. no one crashed. the winner didnt come from far back. the top 2 were so uninteresting that the camera shows the uninteresting train for 3rd for a number of laps. nothing really unexpected happened.

    u mostly just proved my point. thats a good race for a fanatic, someone that knows of Nicky/Gobert and that knows how hard it is to pass at Sonoma, etc etc. without all that knowledge and without some nostalgia, its mediocre race for a casual or new fan. if thats the kind of race that we hope MA/WSBK/GP to have, this sport is screwed.

    I’ll take that action for a Hundred to the AFF...
    :D

    The 2mil over will help even the playing feild a liytle bit, we still have a litte room to improve by boring throttle bodies, 2mil over, lighter shit inside the cases, bigger sticks and can realistically drop another 10-15 pounds off the bike and reamin legal. Rider has already dropped 20lb from what he weighed at the last round...
    If I have my way about it everyone else will be racing for second!! Unless Bobby Robby shows up then they will be racing for third. :crackup:

    We are seriously pondering running Supersport also this year also, Focus will still be on the Twins Championship but that may be a valuable tool...

    Why don't MotoAmerica, Flat Track, and Supercross all advertise for each other, especially on social media, when each has a big season opener or event?

    Why doesn’t ford Chevy and dodge advertise each other when a new model comes out?

    Is this a serious question?

    Because you can be a fan that watches all 3, and someone who watches supercross is a lot more likely to become a fan of MotoAmerica than someone who doesn't watch any motorsports at all

    There would be mutual benefit in a cross pollination.

    Considering none of those series are exactly doing splendid it would make sense.

    All of them also have the same manufacturers involved sooo....

    I know. Funny how you never showed any interest in going until that video was released.

    They have increased their viewership for sure, they however are still not seeing huge numbers. But mainly as much as Robby hates it - they have a product you can see from one seat...
