The Pro Singles Series

Hey, while I'm at it I may as well throw it out there what I think about the Pro Singles class also. I don't think it should be a national series. I think it should be a "Regional" series much like the AMA Lites Supercross class. I say this because they're not making enough money ($1000 to win) to support traveling the country for 20 races a year. So why not split it up into an east and west and let guys on both sides of the country to opportunity to race without going broke as shit. It sucks that DuQuoin is no longer the last race of the year, cuz that would have made an awesome chance for a Showdown between the 2 "coasts." But Pomona would work just as well. Give them a stepping stone to riding a twin.

As far as the Provisional Twins licenses the Top 20 of the Pro Singles were given. That's horse shit also. It should be given off of points. Whether that's the top 20 or the top 5, it should go off the riders that were able to gain their points. For Example when I was going from Pro Sport to go expert you had to have earned 60 points on a Twin or 120 points on a Single in a single 365 calendar year. That would have given only the top 8 in pro singles points the eligibility to even gain an expert license, but we're going to give 12 more guys the option to race a twin with experts just to essentially boost numbers? I'm guessing because why the hell else would someone open up a pro singles rider to racing a twin at 10 of 11 twins events so far posted (History proves at least 1 of those will fall off also).

Don't even get me started on those idiots banging into eachother at Springfield Mile... Sorry for being harsh, but thats what they all say about eachother and the racing, yet they're all still smashing into the sides of eachother at over 100 mph.

Great ideas guys. Does anyone over there think about the results of their actions?
