U.S. Superbikes still alive?

From SuperbikePlanet.com

Well-placed sources from within DMG say that late last night a change was made to the format that DMG/AMA races will have in 2009. These sources tell Soup that in addition to the Daytona 600 Superbike class and the American Superbike (formerly Liter Bike) series, DMG will also offer a class called "Factory Superbike."
Sources are telling Soup that "Factory Superbike" class will offer full World Superbike technical rules--and possibly not require spec tires!
DMG's Roger Edmondson, reached for comment on his mobile phone this afternoon, would not comment, saying he could not confirm or deny the rumor of a "Factory Superbike" class and that he and his people are in the midst of preparing their final rules package and weekend format for DMG/AMA races in 2009.

Finally starting to sound a lot more palatable, and sensible.

Maybe we'll get a decent '09 season afterall? Stay tuned...

It looks like if money rolls in right as we hope... I will race my old 600's (hopped up NOT stock like now) in Daytona SBK and a American SBK on a 1000 I hope... It does appear to be going a little better. We will see... Hope they stock doing all the fines... I got a $250 fine for missing the riders meeting at Laguna and $100 fine at Miller for speeding in pit lane... Crazy I say let us make some money if your gonna charge us fines for stuff we do wrong...
