can miguel be far behind?

When did they move Daytona Beach to California?

 

Slack editorial staff.

 

There was an earthquake...

 

Miguel has applied for the position of Safety Car Driver. That way he can lead a race, yelling out the window with his fist in the air " I'm winning, I'm winning."

 

Traitor

I can't believe it, one of Honda's own has defected to the enemy. Sad. I guess Daytona is a nicer place to retire than New Hampshire.

 

You don't know the power of the dark side!

 

Actually, Unless something changed recently, Al was not an American Honda employee. Very few folks on race teams are actually company employees but contract labor. Although the pay can be good, there's no benefits and the like offered under a company umbrella. He was trying to get this postion some time ago before everything went crazy at the AMA (OK, crazier than 'normal'). I can see the motivation. Not near the hours of a race tech and some benefits. I have no idea how DMG work but since they're part of the NASCAR family my guess is they have some benefits for thier employees.

 

spec tire testing in dec???? Isnt that when dunlop does it's tire testing???

 

Who said Miggy wasn't first....

 

Pirelli tested in December at least 2004-2005-2006-2007. Michelin tested in December at least 2000-2003. Usually back to back with Dunlop.

 

So, is Kevin Crowther still with AMA (or is his position a different title)?

Starting to sound like Honda isn't racing next year...

Or if they are they are going to get some new guys that can get a bike together to beat Yosh.......if yosh races also.

 

Crowther stayed with AMA in Ohio. Al went to DMG (aka AMA Pro Racing) in Florida.

 

god i hope miguel is done... its beyond his time to retire imo, give the ride to somebody that doesn't get senior citezen discount

 

Well, Miguel can always go race Buell's for Pascal in Canada
