yea, i remember Formula Unlimited. the big bikes were 1000cc street bikes, not 990cc MotoGP bikes. that was a really neat series - almost anything goes !! there were even turbo bikes.

ahhh . . . there was nothing like the sports car races at airports. you could see all the action like an oval race, but it was road racing. and there were so many beautiful and interesting cars

a friend of mine runs a dwarf car. i do not deny the skill and determination of oval track drivers, car or bike, but to watch . . . *yawn*
now, throw in turns other than left, and add a small jump or two . . . then i might be hooked. dirt track bikes only become interesting to me at a track like the Springfield TT, which is more motocross than oval track. thats also what makes SuperMoto so interesting . . . did anyone watch that at the X-Games ?
