around the net today, I found a report on roadracingworld about Greg White getting a shot at racing the Yoshimura Suzuki superstock bike at the final round of the AMA series at Laguna.
For those who don’t know Greg White, he was the once shaved head (Just like AB) host of Two Wheeled Tuesday. After almost three years the programs plug was pulled for the much more topical “Superbikes” show. Since then Greg has continued to act as a field reporter down on the gird at AMA races when broadcast on speed TV. Another little known fact is Greg was very eager to become a professional road racer. It has been commented on by Star School founder Jason Pridmore that Greg tried very hard to become fast enough to race completely on the WERA and AMA circuit. Fortunately for us, Greg got his TV gigs.
What is extra cool is what Yoshimura Suzuki is doing for Greg. It appears that Greg White will be running the race with a TV camera and reporting on the race while racing. This may not be good for his grid position, but I think it is wonderful for us to watch. Since Greg is not THAT SLOW, we should be able to understand what the privateers are going though. Beyond that we should get an in-depth feeling of racing that race and trying to make the field on the best of equipment.
Lets all pull for Greg so we can watch him on TV.

Greg is THAT SLOW! He’ll be running dead last within a lap or two. I only hope he pulls off before the leaders come around.
He tried to ride in an AMA race and talk us through it at the same once before (about 3 years ago)and failed miserably.
He’s a boring TV commentator that asks obvious questions and makes references to recent “bad moments” a racer may have had within minutes of them getting ready for the start of a race.
The only thing he does well is set-up Freddie to look good by asking rehearsed questions during the race so “The 3 Time World Champion” can look good. (Freddie still thinks Ducati is racing a 748 in Formula Extreme).
Support Greg White, I think NOT! The sooner he’s replaced, the better.
