AMA Continues Search for Race Partners
2/18/2008

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) provided an update on the Association's ongoing effort to find promotional partners for its professional racing series after the conclusion of the organization's board meeting in Indianapolis, which concluded Saturday, February 16.

"The AMA received a number of proposals in response to our call for bids," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "We are following a defined protocol with our governing board to thoroughly review each bid. At this point, no decisions have been made but the process is moving forward as planned."

Dingman stressed that secrecy was a necessary part of the proceedings.

"It's very competitive and we must ensure the sanctity of the review process. As we consider our options, our first priority must be the health and well-being of the AMA and its 290,000 members. When all is said and done, professional racing promotion will improve motorcycle racing, and that's a good thing for the AMA and its members who race."

The best way to ensure the health and well-being of the AMA racing, would be to fire pretty much everyone running the show right now, and hire people that actually know something about racing and what makes for a good series. Getting advice from NASCAR is definitely NOT the way to go.

The AMA has been so F'ed up for so long, lets hope they are on the right track! But with a guy by the name of "Dingman" in charge...?
