YEAH THAT'S RIGHT WHAT THE FUCK!! THE AMA IS MISSING SEVERAL TRACKS WITH THE BEST SURFACES TO RIDE... THE INDY MILE AND THE HAGERSTOWN HALF MILE.

STUPID PROMOTER FUCKS... THEY CONTINUE TO TRY AND PROCURE TELEVISION AND INTERNET COVERAGE, BUT ARE NOT ACQUIRING THE TRACKS TO RIDE ON.

INSTEAD OF ALL THE GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RAZORS WE EXPECT TO SEE, WE HAVE TO INCLUDE A BUNCH OF NON-CONTENDER WORLD CLASS PART-TIME SHORT TRACK RACERS.THAT'S THE AMA WITH THE EYE OFF THE BALL.

SURELY WE CAN DO BETTER... WELL MAYBE NOT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE FLATTRACK RACES SCHEDULED FOR 2016, OR SHOULD WE SAY. THE EVENTS NOT SCHEDULED. THEY CONTINUE TO STALL OUT IN ADVANCING THE SPORT IN THE USA.

LOOK! REAL FLATTRACK RACERS...

THE 2015 FINAL WAS A PISS POOR INDOOR TRACK DESIGNED WITH TWO HAIRPIN TURNS AND LOOKED LIKE A RUTTED OUT SAND PIT. THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE STANDS APPEARED TO BE FAMILY MEMBERS.

THE LAS VEGAS SUPER PRESTIGIO, WTF IS THAT? (I CAN'T EVEN SPELL IT). AN IMPORTED EUROPEAN LOSERS RACE IN MY OPINION WHICH WAS TO BE THE YEAR END GRAND FINALE FOR THE UNDECIDED 2015 AMA CHAMPIONSHIP.

"SUPER UNIMPRESSIVE WTF" SHORTTRACK RACING ADVERTISING...

LOOK! IT'S "MARKIE MOUTH" MARQUEZ OUT IN FRONT. NOT AN AMA GUY.

THEY HAVE NEW UPCOMING RIDING GEAR RULES TO MAKE FLATTRACKING LOOK LESS LIKE MOTOCROSSERS, BUT THE CLOTHES DON'T HELP WITHOUT A TRACK TO RIDE ON.

THE PROMOTERS COMBINED TWO RACING EVENTS IN ONE AND LEFT ME, A FAN, TOTALLY BORED AND UNIMPRESSED.

YEP. LOOKS LIKE MOTO CROSS TO ME!

TEXAN CARROLL RESWEBER, AMA GRAND NATIONAL CHAMP, OLD SCHOOL

THIS LAST PHOTO IS A DAN MAHONEY MASTERPIECE.

HIS HOUSE IN MISSOURI WAS A TOTAL LOSS ALONG WITH HIS DIGITAL AND 35MM ARCHIVES, A LIFETIME'S WORTH OF MOTORCYCLE RACE PHOTOS. HIS RETIREMENT IS NOW TOAST. PEOPLE ARE BEING ASKED TO SEND HIM PHOTOS SO HE CAN REBUILD HIS PORTFOLIO.
