Scott chats with Jim about Moto America. They review the past season. Decide if the presence of Petrucci was good or bad for the series. Then they take a look into the future. Is Moto America getting better year over year? How can it be improved? What can be done to help our young talent get to the world stage. Will the racing be better with the return of Cam? It's a great conversation that has many tangents. So grab a beer and enjoy the chat!
