Greetings. My freind Beth Miller who is in charge of the hot grid at superbike pro races, put in an emergency call to me tonight. She needs a Blame Canada sticker for some first rate pimping.

Other than Hot Topic where I got my big one several years ago, any other leads?

I've got a small one, 'bout 1x4

I know what kinda pimp'n goes on at the race track...

I'll reference Beth to this site.

After the embarrassing shows they put on all year they are actually going to finish the season?

Heres the Head Tech guy explaining a penalty to a rider

http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=37409

He he. He had as much luck arguing with the rallybastards that I have had!

Huh, he said "I held my line and raced". The rules say hold your line and "allow the other rider to pass".

Technicalities are a bitch. I wonder how this all shook out.

Maybe Al's from Canada???

Actually John, I watched the race and didnt see anything wrong with the "incident" Now Im not a fan of Mr Rock Page, but he seemed to do exactly as he should have. Hold your line, dont make any sudden changes to speed or direction and let the faster bikes by.

Oh yeah, the penalty? He was suspended for the 2nd days event and the next one on Kansas.

I just found it hilarious that the "official" is telling him he doent matter in the scheme of things.

AMA Pro Racing Suspends Technical Director Al Ludington Indefinitely Following Mid-Ohio Event

Apparently he mattered "a little".

Did the suspension stand or did that get a vacation too?

Not sure, havent heard about a lifting of the suspension. Unfortunately DMG has tried to run AMA Pro Racing like NASCAR, even down to pace cars and rolling starts. Its a cluster.
