Jim, I think you are right on here. Another analogy would be how many of us drive cars but do not take part in competition? But many many people want to know what has happened in competitions around the world be it F1, Indy, LeMans, NASCAR etc.
I will go back to my previous post and say that the competition we are referring to is not just a competition. It is our National Championships. In my mind what the AMA has done is to dimish the importance of their own members who strive to become the National Champion of their respective form of the hobby. Maybe our new Champion is the fellow who wins Top Gun in the AMA's mind. Maybe Top GUn is commercially more viable but that shows that the AMA is not capable of promoting our NATS properly. It should be promoted and refered to as an important part of our hobby. Mark Miller __________________________________ Yahoo!
