B.Boz tellin' it like it is.

Check out the comments Boz made this last weekend regarding the AMA's racing program:
Soup :: Ben Bostrom Airs Complaints About AMA Racing; June 2006

I hope this mini rider revolution continues. Many of these guys have been getting more vocal about the idiotic class structure and the way the races are run.
Now a calm, soft-spoken guy like Bostrom is letting loose. Maybe his high side on Sunday woke him up some.
The Superstock class needs to be a privateer class, period. No factories, and I like Mladin's idea of a salary cap there as well. Sure, have the "B spec" factory bikes there, but not full factory riders and efforts. Make them all play in the Superbike class and start putting more of a spotlight there like it used to be. Keep the mods under tighter control so even the lowliest of club budgets can make a decent run in Superstock.
I just got a kick out of the article and the fact that it was Bostrom making the statements this time.

Good for him. The AMA series is good. Everyone talks it down. But, the riders are fast and it could be on par with WSBK, if the AMA wised-up. The different classes could attract a much bigger audience if marketed better and organized more appropriately.

Wow, good find. Just surprised that it was Ben letting it out....he's usually very quiet. Good for him.

We have one of the best tracks probably in the world, right here. They have this four-mile circuit and we don't run it

Guess we'll just have to let him know how it is after we tear it up on the 4th of Sept!
