new AMA supersport rule. Worthless!

JK · 04-24-2008, 10:27 PM

Supersport and Superstock suddenly get data aquisition permission... Worthless! they wont exist next year so who cares?!?!? Its like chimps pressing buttons -excluding the NASA chimp- they are able to press buttons but arent real sure why or what they do. makes no sense.

no I mean what is data aquisition permission? I have no idea WTF that is

They're permitted to put sensors all over their bikes... ie: traction control. All classes were previously allowed to do so during practice, but only superbike during the races.

Mr Lefty · 04-29-2008, 08:29 PM

ahh... intresting... I almost wish they'd just say fuck the electronics and go back to 2 strokes... the times weren't as low... but they were more fun to watch!

High sides guarenteed like 2-3 times a race!

dunno- but i think Capirossi said something about all the electronics that the kids have these days. Saying that 50% of the guys in MotoGP wouldnt survive a season on the ole "man eaters" 500 2 strokers. Probably even if they just turned off the traction control. Rumormongering: i thought i saw somewhere that they may consider outlawing TC in MotoGP... doubt it but i did see it somewhere. I think guys like hayden, rossi, stoner, elias, vermulen, toseland and the such would be up front always.

technology tends to make racing more exciting and less exciting at the very same time...

what year did GP go to 1000cc from 5002strokes again?

Mr Lefty · 04-29-2008, 11:28 PM

04 I think...

and Rossi said in faster that riding the 500cc were more exciting...
