Steve, I think the only way they could put kids on GP bikes at this point is to create a program that pushes used, newly obsolete CEV Moto 3 bikes to the US and into a new series. That seems to be the only way to make them even slightly affordable and still be training on the proper equipment.
Dorna just bought AMA pro, 10 races in 2015 and TV coverage on Fox. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Haven't seen any chatter about it. AMA did make some updates their BOD, but that's all I could find.
The WERA BBS is brewing over this subject as well. The WERA pro class in 2015 is trying hard to supplement the AMA. Let's hope for positive news!!!!
The comments are interesting:

Hopefully, they can pull the series out of it's current nose dive!!
Judgement reserved, but sounds like a good move so far. Fingers crossed!
I want to see it actually happen too. Wouldn't be the first time Dorna made an agreement and then changed the rules.
Once the class structure and rules are announced I'll decide how excited I am. But I remain hopeful.
My gut says an rule change would be to bring AMA class rules in line with BSB and other national-level series. Can't be a bad thing, can it?
Their approach is to acquire a strong media deal and use that to encourage Kawasaki and Honda to return, while still allowing for the "competitive" privateer.
A large, cumbersome and ambitious menu, but if they can pull it off - it should be good!
They have to put something together to develop young talent. That's what drives success in racers.
