It's the AMA rule book. Enforcement is optional depending on who's involved and which of the Japanese factories threatens to pull their team from the series. Or they just ignore it totally like they have for over 40 years.

Subway Tom wins the internet with the Hudson tow vehicle! Let's review: Fast as Hell, daughter is equally fast in her own right, son-in-law (Andrew Short) has been known to haul ass too.

Can the AMA fix the flagging problems? Yes, of course they can. Will the AMA fix the flagging problems? No, their normal course of action is inaction. Ostrich management. This won't get fixed until one of the manufacturers has a major issue that affects them and they run bitching to the AMA/DC/MXSports about the situation. Then there will be action...

Here's to hoping he enjoys being "Mommy"

I think he "lost focus" for a second. Sorry, it's just too damn easy. It was actually a pretty good save compared to some of his previous yard sales. I didn't think he was going down until he had the Benny Hill tip over at the end.

Nice infomercial for RedBull, Lucas Oil, GoPro, et al. I hear a race was going on somewhere too.

Every time I see a 77 I think of Boobie Linder. I chased that 77 a lot myself. What a great guy. RIP.

That's a 77 for sure. Asking price is in the right range. Will be a much better bike if you add a PVL to it (contact Newmann about that). That looks like a really nice survivor.

Oh boy. Now we get to add a chromosome test to the drug test. Modified or stock "equipment" is not the issue here. Choice is not an issue either. It simply comes down to genetics at birth.

Tony should apply to be Obama's Press Secretary. He's a perfect fit for the job.

Thank you for raising a good kid. If we had more examples like Trey, Ryan D, and Kenny, the sport would gain additional fans.

Certain prescription drugs can be used/abused for performance gain. That's why they are banned. The process is to obtain a TUE 30 days prior to the competition to "excuse" you for having a therapeutic level of the drug in your system if you are tested. Since everyone reacts differently to drugs, what is performance enhancing for one person may be...

This sucks for James. It also makes a lot of sense if you look at the crashing in the past and the change over the last year if he indeed has ADHD and in now taking Adderal. Most of his crashes have looked like a lack of or loss of focus. That is exactly what Adderal treats. However, condition or...

Limit the range to close proximity of the mechanics area and assign the radios to the teams at each event to prevent tampering. Would be a good replacement for the pit board. 15 seconds of communication per lap would be plenty. No need to have "the voice of God" in your head all the way around the track. Spotters are...

Nah, I feel the same way about the Kardashians, too. Something about stage parents/wanna-be-celebrities/minidads that live through their kids rubs me the wrong way. Failing to contribute to the betterment of the sport first before you demand attention (Believe the Hype / Kill Button Gate / Laser Gate / Drug Ring Gate / etc, etc) just rubs me the...

Standard with laser focus?

It takes a long time for the consensus opinion on how the rules must be enforced to come back from the manufacturers. All it takes is the threat of one manufacturer taking their toys and going home to scare the AMA into changing how things are enforced. American racing has a long history of being dominated by letting the manufacturers...

I'm not so sure a day was specified, just 5 PM. Maybe tune in again tomorrow to see if the negotiations with the factories have broken down and a penalty WILL, in fact, be enforced. Or not.................

But Joe, I heard Weege and Grant say just last Saturday that the outdoor series was sanctioned by the AMA. Surely the announcers can't be wrong too. What we need is someone to sanction the AMA. I'm dying waiting to see how they try to skirt the rules this time if this affects a star.

Without a clearly dominant rider (MC, RC, JS, RV) like we have gotten used to over the past 2 decades we are seeing some of the most competitive racing in a long time. It's refreshing to turn on the tube and NOT know who is going to win on any given day. Four races in to the Outdoors this is...
