Honda Officially Quits AMA/DMG Road Racing Series
Friday September 18, 2009

     The AMA/DMG road racing series sure got interesting this year, and Buell's divisive 1125R fueled the flames of controversy, culminating in the big-engined American bike winning the 2009 Pro Daytona SportBike championship. Buell's race-spec 1125RR for the American Sportbike class had also raised eyebrows earlier in July, triggering American Honda Senior VP Ray Blank to declare--

with no lack of sarcasm-- that "It is very difficult for me to comment on the AMA/DMG acceptance of the Buell in question as ashamedly it is evident we had an erroneous interpretation of both the rules and the homologation process," and that "This is an exciting new opportunity for all manufacturers and I am ashamed to have missed this chance through our inability to accurately analyze the current rules. Frankly, this could really be fun."

But rather than retort with their own version of a controversial homologated Superbike, Honda officially called it quits today, pulling out of AMA/DMG racing and stating that, "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."

There's no word yet from AMA/DMG or other manufacturers, but suffice to say the fallout from Honda's departure will likely be huge.
