Great job DMG! Let’s see if you can completely run this series into the ground.
Whether it’s the dismal economy or a dislike for the current promoters of the series, there’s no arguing that the DMG-run 2010 AMA Pro Road Racing Championship is losing luster and losing it quickly. Today Kawasaki announced that the company will not field a team in the series in the coming season, joining Honda in pulling out and leaving Suzuki, Yamaha and possibly Ducati with factory participation in the series.

Let the mass exodus begin. Way too go DMG!
Torrance, CA: During the 2009 AMA/DMG Road Racing series, American Honda
Motor Company, Inc. contracted team personnel, including team Honda rider
Neil Hodgson, to the Corona Extra Honda race team.
Corona Extra Honda race team participated in this series with our
award-winning 2009 CBR1000RR in the AMA Superbike class, unfortunately
participation in this series did not meet our racing goals and objectives.
Regrettably the current AMA/DMG racing environment does not align with our
company goals. Effective today 9/18/09, AHM will not be renewing contracts
with Corona Extra Racing and will be terminating the on-site Road Race
operations by 9/30/09. All assets will be put into storage for future
consideration. Team staff was informed of these changes today at 1:00PM
PDT. Source
