I'm not the biggest fan of DMG's proposed classes, (why not just Superbike, Supersport and Superstock like the rest of the world?) but the "factory Superbike" class with FIM rules in a season or 2 is just what the manufacturers wanted when they were saying that Superbike must showcase their bikes so why arent they taking part?
#HOW TO SOLVE UNFORTUNATELY DMG HAS STOPPED SOLUTION SERIES#
So DMG tried to fix just that and take the series away from the manufacturers. What was the problem with the way AMA ran the series? Too much power to the Manufacturers.

There is no news on the remaining "top" riders in AMA, Hayden, Yates, Hacking and Duhamel have one championship title between them and that was in 1995 but there is a big question as to whether they will attract audiences as Mladin and Spies have. With the stars of AMA pulling out of the DMG series (Spies to WSB and Mladin to anything else - I think he would be willing to race mini-motos after his disqualification at VIR), what is DMG left with? In order to attract top talent, they need the factories and their budgets, energy drinks can only fund so much. I didn't think it possible but it has been proved that someone else could, in fact, run the American series worse that AMA.
An AMA racing season without factory participation now seems quite possible. No deadline response from the mannies = no Factory Superbike class next year, according to DMG. People can only point guns at each other for so long before one goes off, and the hammer finally clicked down on a loaded chamber. Lines had been drawn in the sand, sidearms unsheathed, tempers flaring. When the news hit Friday that the DMG "Factory Superbike" deadline had passed without a response from the manufacturers, we knew there would be hell to pay.
