| | Didn't we already see the 250 2 strokes try to compete with the 250f last year.( MMS 250 class and in NESC 200 plus class). What organization do you see this rule will apply in the North East because i have not seen any other than LLQ? |

| well first of all the 2 strokes wouldnt have to TRY to compete...if the rider was half decent they would walk all over 250fs...and as for an organization AMA is a pretty big one i would think...im not sure all organizations follow AMA rules...but its just some infomation...and a very interesting topic...if this rule went to the big top racers the two strokes dominate and 250f thumpers would be left behind in the blue smoke...

| | Interesting indeed.....It hardly seems fair. The ol stink pots might have a chance after all. I can't see how an overweight under powered four stroke without its displacement advantage will stand a chance. Don't get me wrong the four strokes have there place...I mean my girlfriend has one. The main thing is that at least the race track will sound less like theres a bunch of honda big reds driving around it. |

"Don't get me wrong the four strokes have there place...I mean my girlfriend has one. " from a die hard 2-stroker... thats funny!!

| | Shawn that is not that funny, what is funny he has not posted any of the stories of the fouled plugs when his girl friend is out in front of him. I think i have seen some excellent 250 2 stroke riders they just cant out pull the 250f. Interesting in what why that it will bring back the 2 strokes sorry but it wont. Make racing more affordable (not if you are running in the pipe). I think that it is an good attempt by AMA on bug control tho. |

Make racing more affordable (not if you are running in the pipe). I think that it is an good attempt by AMA on bug control tho. thats funny too... cuz the 250f is so slow.. the the 250cc 2-stroke is fouling plugs. dont think im trying to start an argument..... just a die-hard two stroker. but we all know the the bike really doesnt matter... we've seen ama champs switch brands and still win. i've seen dube at skow-vegas on a ktm100 beat brent hicks and Phil Taylor.. and other experts on 250cc and 450Fs'. its all in the rider, skill and training. oh yeah alittle sack and no fear helps too
