AMA does it again, again...

I just watched race one at Mid-Ohio. Good thing: they repaved the track and it appears it was not done by someone from California.

Bad things: It's still a dangerous place to race. They don't race in the rain there because there would be lots of dead people. Speaking of dead people. I can't remember the racer who crashed in race one but did anyone notice him crawling off the track on his hands and knees after a serious highside? Anyone? Hey you guys trying to pick up that motorcycle! There's a rider crawling for his life to get out of harms way and not one of you morons came to help. I guess that's what happens when you've got two safety marshals per corner. At least they got to the bike in time to offer CPR. They're complete incompetence brought out the red flag as well, thus completely altering the race for no good reason except that they're incompetent.

Have you ever seen what happens when someone crashes outside of the U.S? An army of people come to assist the rider and clear the debris to make sure the race continues and that the downed rider is ok and off the track quickly and safely. Maybe the AMA can offer some people free tickets and a Subway sandwich with a large beverage of their choice to man the corners. If it rains they can throw in the umbrella while they wait for it to clear up.
