Drastic times, drastic measures. The state of competition at Daytona this year has convinced me of one thing: AMA Pro racing in its current, convoluted form needs to be scrapped. It's time to pull the plug, power down the life support, start again. Over at the Speedway, there were Su-persports and Superstocks and Superbikes, all of which look the same and sound the same. Superbike is the AMA's premier class but it's a mere bit player at Daytona, the trickest roadracers in America relegated to a short support race because track management deemed them to be tire-shredding menaces and mandated that the evil wid-owmakers would not run in "their" 200-miler.
