And one Pro Class. Get guys like dungey, lawrence, grant, villopoto in the Pro class were they belong.
I've heard ISC is considered a stong possibility, and opinion is split on if this includes MX. What if MX goes to ISC too..? Will they want or sub it out to NPG or YS?
AMA could climb in bed with ISC, OEMs get jealous and pissed off and walk, or cut way, way back, and racing changes completely.
I ran into one of the ex AMA people his weekend and asked what chances did the NPG have on a scale of 1 to 10..1 or 2, and he shook his head and went, "nope."

The teams would be happy to hear from a promoter that would be more of a partner and not one that just takes them for granted and shoves them around, especially the ones outside the OEM circle. One manager told me last night "It's real easy, let me race, bring my truck and team, and let me vend in my pits and I'm happy, is that too much to ask?" Apparrently it is. If NASCAR can beat that, the teams will all go there.

I seem to remember that there was one year like '83 where Bailey won a combined SX/MX title.
Any history buffs out there remember?

They can't have GNCC anyway. The AMA doesn't own the rights to it, Racer Productions does. All the AMA does for GNCC is sanctioning.

Almost right, what they want is:
1) A real TV package with real coverage
2) Pit vending
Ummm, they [b:31sdor7a]ARE[/b:31sdor7a] racing the Pro class, Einstein.

The change would be for the good. They are the ones that are holding the sport back so they can continue to have their own little "Cheap" name branding opportunities. I can only hope that I will live to see the day that I don't have to watch Honda and and Suzuki commercials on every Sunday morning when I turn on the race. When those commercials disappear and other companies start to buy (for much more money) time, that’s when you will see this sport start to grow.

Bingo!
Who stands to lose if the smaller private teams are allowed to actually use their pit space to promote sponsors? That’s right, the OEMs
As you are already aware of, in 2004 I was very close to a 3 million dollar a year deal with the Air Force until Clear Channel shut us down at St. Louis. The very next year the Air Force was sponsoring the Clear Channel Free Style events then on to the Supercross.Series.
BTW: My guess is that this quote came from BBR.

jmar, none of this is a done deal yet, but you have to be getting your "I told ya so"on right now.
$49,000.00 to make the main?
What would it be??
Since the Riders believe they are the "show" lets look at it this way % of attendence
Supercross - 50-60 Thousand people promoters purse ? $87'000 thats About $1.50 a ticket
Motocross- 14-18 Thousand people Promoters purse ? $ 67,000 = About $3.50 a ticket
Nascar- ______________ Promoters purse________ + About $_____ A ticket ???
Can Nascar pull in the numbers ? Can The Riders ? It seems that riders want more but what are they will to give? Do they want a percentage of ticket sales? And take a risk like the promoters do?

Riders INSURANCE????
AMA hands out free tix to riders!
Be the show take a percentage of tix sales!!!
no free tickets.....my point exactly!
How much is Kenworthys making now? How about the New York track Binghamton?
They have exspenses you never heard of!! State and Federal EPA issuses are battled and fines are paid so you can ride ..
How many national track owners have you talked to that still have full time jobs? Not all are the millionares you think!!
no free tickets.....my point exactly![/quote:2adcta7l]
Sure its called WORKERS COMP if they race for the right team!!!
How much does Chad Reed pay for tix?

sounds like you make a great case for these track owners to get out of business if they are so unprofessional!
my guess is if they are having problems with the EPA it is because they dont have proper wash and oil change areas for the teams.<------probably because they are scared of running a real business.
my point still stands...the riders risk outwieghs the tracks risks!

yes reed like every other rider pays to race, pays to have a mechanic there and for tickets to enter the event!
