DMG gives in......

Daytona, Florida: Daytona Motorsports Group representative Roger Edmonson, current president of the fledgling AMA Pro Racing subsidiary issued a press release today admitting failure and promising to return to a more successful racing model that more closely mimics motorcycle roadracing around the world.


Roger Edmonson

"We were under a lot of pressure from people with vast influence in the industry to create a series that promoted American made motorcycles. It's obvious now that we overdid it."

AMA professional racers have mixed reactions to this news. Extremely vocal opponent of DMG's efforts Mat Mladin simply said, "It's about time."

Other riders, notably Danny Eslick, whos Buell XR1125R was clearly a favorite throughout the rest of the series expressed dismay at the early withdrawal of the new class structure. "We've already had two races. Now we're going to change the entire class structure so my bike no longer qualifies for the series? That doesn't make sense."

DMG is expected to release an entire new set of class specifications by the end of the day.
