Yeah, indeed very interesting. The AMA Motocross/Supercroos has definatley
some of the best riders in the world (for mx/sx anyway). The AMA superbikes,
i have a different perspective on after going over there late last year to
look for a ride... They have 5-10 top quality riders on even better bikes,
then they have a bunch of pretty bad for the level they are racing at riders
on real good bikes, then their privateers... i was pretty dissapointed.
Thats what makes some other domestic series better than in the states,
Privateers have a chance every now and then to do something that really
stands out
