The old in-out..

A fairly candid interview with Edmondson in this weeks online version
of CN, check it out if you have the chance and while overall it might
raise a few questions, he certainly addressed a few critical one's.
Such as, he likes a lot in the WSB rule book and thinks it might be
"arrogant" for us to be a lot different, or telling Ray Blank (US Honda
head honcho) the OEM train that use to run AMA has left the station and
it's "a new era" and for sure I'm down bigtime with that last part, but
I'm wondering what he meant when asked what exactly the SB class will
be. "It could be 1000's, it could be a new program, or they could be
companion pieces." Okay, I get the first two, but companion pieces? WTF?

Anyway, ins and outs..
In, clearly defined classes..
Out, OEM dominance..
In, Colin Fraser (of MOTO-ST and Canuckastanian SB fame) now runs all
of the new worlds M/C road racing..
Out, classes.. (plural? Hmm..)
In, a spec type tire..
Out, Committees..
In, New Jersey, or was that new venues?
Out, more OEM dominance..
In, dictators..
Out, pre-detremined winners..(Yosh, paying attention?)
In, readily available equipment..
Out, pretty much any and everything else they don't like..
In, teams and sponsors, riders too..

Oh yeah, Hope is in too..


Good news for DT, it sounds like "Jimbo" himself is gonna' get involved
and that can't be bad..

Not sure how long, or even if this link will work, but give it a shot
just in case, it's an interesting read if nothing else... (page 62)

Jimbo, aka J. France and with all the Nascar DT's around I would hope
the GN Schedule will expand beyond the central US, hopefully south and
west, though I'm a little surprised there hasn't been any word from
either Kidd, or Romero, I heard they both made a play for DT...
