It will be very interesting to see how this is received. I think there will be a lot of huffing and puffing, but, at the end of the day, the reality is that premier roadracing in the US was a complete clusterfuck. Hopefully the new regime will resurrect it with their new plans. Before anyone bitches about the new structure, keep in mind that some define insanity as repeating the same process and expecting a different result. AMA was doing nothing different and nothing was changing. To make it better, it must change. DMG is trying something different and they're looking to appease john q public and not necessarily the current motorcycle roadracing fan or the factories. The current motorcycle roadracing fan will, most likely, watch no matter what. Building the fan base is what will drive outside involvement/sponsorship and that is what is needed to take it to the next level. Hopefully the new regime and new structure will facilitate this.
