Yeah they would. The AMA wants another "super star" like McGrath. They changed the tracks for ricky as well. Just look at a track from the mid 90's then one from the mid 00's. The track from the 90's could be ran in either direction (the landings were the same as the take off's). In the 00's timing was not as much as a factor as was marbles enough to twist the throttle. I am not trying to take away from RC, he is an amazing rider and I don't think anyone would challenge his work ethic, but he is better on a fast less technical track. Just my .02
I wish I worked for a magazine, I would love to interview Kevin Windam or John Dowd and get their take on was has happened and is currently happening to OUR sport. I belive the John Dowd interview would be the more productive, as he is not currently on anyone's payroll.
