Really the teams? The promoters? The manufacturers?
How many people do you know that work for race teams? I'm sure they'd love to hear your reasons (myself included) why they are a joke? How about the promoters, do you know many of them? Can you site some examples? The OEMs? Rather broad and insulting brush you are painting with there considering.
DMG hasn't been perfect this year and I'm not a DMG apologist. You want change well:
- No rolling starts for 2010
- No pace bike / car for 2010
- Pace car removed partway thru 2009 season
- Tape delayed TV removed partway thru 2009 season
- Live race feed installed (at race only issue) part way thru season in 2009
There's a few that I can publically point out. There are more that I can't as they are still in the works for 2010.
I still love how everyone freaks out over the Buell racing 600's but week in and week out we race Ducati 800's VS Hawk 650's VS Suzuki 450's VS Aprillia 250's VS Kawasaki 500's. It's not a fucking 600cc class, when will everyone wake up and realize that. How about the Daytona 675? Ducati 848? Aprillia 1000? All in Daytona Sportbike as well guys.
DMG IMO fucked some shit up, nailed some stuff, and were handed a economic crisis on top of it all. Overall the 2009 season went much better than many many of us in the paddock were expecting at Daytona.
