Whitelock said:"Everyone should have paid attention when we got Chad Reed, but everybody let it get explained away, that they put the fuel into a can that had had lead in it in the past or something. It’s not that; it’s a problem. I guarantee you, if I go over to DeCoster’s truck and get the fuel from two weeks ago, it’s still wrong. It’s not the gas tank, it’s not anything; straight out of the barrel, it’s wrong.”

You morons!

JMD said:AMA, find a way out of this.
Fact is that the AMA has ruined this series
I am not renewing my membership"
Ditto, I'm still glad I'm tuning in though. I emailed the AMA and told them that they have ruined the season and that I would not be attending the final round due to this ruling.rodH said:You know what really sucks? I haven't followed SX this closely (watching, taping and or attending EVERY RACE to date) for MANY MANY years. My excitement for this year just went down the toilet. I just spoke to my buddy today, 1st thing he says (without me even saying a word) is "this is a JOKE, I am not renewing my membership". Interesting that soooo many people are pissed.
Its back! The Suzuki Curse! :yikes:MrMXer327 said:He held up his end of the deal... he put Suzuki in the title hunt, but a broken bike and a bogus rule (both of which were out of his control) sure has cast a grey cloud over what could have been.
wardy said:I said it before, we need to set the standards in sanctioning events in the U.S. NOT try to COPY FIM standards, classes or any of it. IF they want to copy us fine, but wouldn't the AMA who brags consistantly to be the largest sanctioning body in the world, shouldn't AMA QUIT following others and set the example? :
Wow, do you really think a champion in any sport should do any of the things you're describing? RC has hinted to doing something stupid like quitting, but he's not a quitter.MrMXer327 said:I could see Ricky sitting out the rest of the season. Ricky is a different breed than the rest of us - he is out there to win championships.... period. His contract is built around winning championships and if it looks like that is not a possibility....
XRpredator said:so we throw out a rule if it has an effect on a title chase? so I can run two more CC's just as long as I'm close in points?
BS. The rule needs to be changed, yes, but it has to be done in the off season. It should have been done the off-season after Reed got dinged.
