Emde: Can't We All Just Get Along?

As two powerful groups, DMG and the MIC, move their agendas along, I wonder if either has taken a look at
No one wants World War III. -- Emde
the working model of what is unquestionably the most successful motorcycle racing series in the world...MotoGP? I just ask that everyone slow down for a minute and look at how MotoGP brings it all together. Rather than just one one governing body, MotoGP utilizes the expertise of numerous bodies to make its series work. Those include:

(1) the FIM as sanctioning body;
(2) IRTA representing the teams and riders;
(3) Dorna managing the commercial aspects and
(4) The Motorcycle Sports Manufacturers' Association (what we call the "OEMs" ).

These guys are able to sit down and work things out for the common good and there must be something that can be learned that could be applied to America. No one wants World War III. The fans want racing at its best and the industry needs you all in racing. Now is the time to get it right.
