The comment about manufacturers pulling out (under funding, his comment) was regarding the NATIONAL series.

3.5 pages in, Kel piped up about the endurance racing and you guys switched topics.

I know you like to beat on 101, it doesn't mean he is always wrong.

I wouldn't have beaten up on him at all except that he decided to drag his political feelings into a racing thread and referred to "racing orgs" (plural), both of which I felt made him fair game.

No you do it all the time regardless of whatever I say, then you back peddle when called out.

I'll just learn to say out of your threads from now on. That should resolve the issue.

Between you, Avatard and JC this site just isn't worth all the shit anymore.

Great. So now Kawasaki Canada has dropped the in-house team and are farming it out. Support will drop from two riders, running in both Sportbike and Superbike, down to just one rider in Superbike.

The RACE series will be the only interesting series this year.
Too bad they won't come to Bogie.

Sadly, its the beginning of the end of our national series. Its horrible to say, but probably true.

Karl, you aren't much further from Shannonville than I am and you would be going through better scenery. In fact it would likely take you less time to get there than it does me, in most cases. It can take me more than an hour just to get across Toronto.

The national series has failed before so if it does now, it won't be a first. That doesn't make it any less sad though.

I know Shannonville is not far, but bogie is a nice track and has nicer surrounding roads and scenery.

True, but you aren't allowed to see what's going on for perhaps 3/4 of it during an event, unless you're someone like me who has a press pass. Once they bulldoze some trails into the back end it'll be a pretty good spectator track, but that hasn't been done yet. The best spot to see action is a ridge above 12b, from where you can see from corners 11 through 15. There are a couple of flat areas above corner 17 that give a pretty good view, but last year the officials were waving people off of one of them.

At Shannonville you can see everything but about 2 corners, while just sitting in the stands. It's a toss-up; do you want to see all the action, or do you want a more interesting track?

And now Szoke is out of a job?! Is that they way that you treat a guy who took your marque to the #1 plate in both premier classes?!!

FOUR TIMES IN A ROW!!
