Carney Huckster car guys shouldn't get involved in motorcycle road racing. The WWF format doesn't work, like it does for Super Cross.
I raced Daytona in 1980 Superbike, we had close to 60 bikes take the green in 2 waves, the stands and infield were filled with people the racing was close and exciting. That was when a regular guy could go buy a Suzuki/Kawasaki/Honda for almost nothing spend 5000.00 and elbow grease and have something competitive.
Fast forward to present time, engineers, and corporate entities have driven cost through the roof, reducing the bike counts to nothing with only 1 or 2 riders capable of winning, speeds have been driven up so high, that the track is dangerous to race on, and it is just plain boring to watch. It's no wonder this is happening.
