The Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup is the latest casualty of the financial meltdown. Reductions in partner support led to the tough decision to cancel the season.

The Corona AMA Superbike Finale is one of my favorite races of the year. The crowds and traffic are much lighter than the MotoGP weekend so it's easy to get in and out of Laguna Seca and parking is plentiful. There's plenty of action to satisfy even the most demanding motorcycle racing enthusiast.
