AMA/DMG Damages As Summed Up by John Ulrich..

Here is another insightful article penned by long-time moto-journalist John Ulrich from
http://www.roadracingworld.com/, that also does a wonderful job of showing the mess that the
DMG-led AMA Road Racing series has and is now. Take the time to read this and as many
of the links he has posted as well, if you can, as it does a super job of showing what an
abortion the AMA Road Racing series has become:

Thanks John! You are another of the GREAT moto-journalists that has covered this mess
since the start, let alone your outstanding resume as it applies to racing.
Folks, you don't get any more tenured then this gentleman when it comes to racing motorcycles
in any road racing series. This man has a pedigree in racing that makes a New York showdog
look like a street mutt. Great reading and racing from this man!

Wes Cooley, 2-Time AMA Superbike Champion



The special time of year that all WERA racers look forward to, is
the WERA GNF at Road Atlanta. I had the pleasure of going there
in October of 1990 with my good friend Jim Knipp. It was my first
ever trip to the 2.5 mile red clay course, but I loved it at once when I
saw Wes Cooley pulling monster wheelies out of then turn 5 during the
endurance race. And I swear he knew I was there after a few laps because
they started getting higher and wilder! It was simply friggin awesome, seeing
that wonderful rider-control and that monster power. Bruce Hammer and
John Uhlrich put together an awesome team and super equipment over the years
and adding Cooley, the former 2-time AMA Superbike Champ to the fray was
icing on the cake that year. A true champ, a wonderful person, and a guy with
really big nads that could always crank it to the max in the seat.
