Post by: tmc3c on May 01, 2008, 02:29:24 PM
Did anybody see that the 250 2 strokes will be racing at Glen Helen this yearon May 24 & 25th ? I read it in Cycle News and it is being promoted by L.A. Sleeve in Cal. The race will be by invitation only or you can apply also! $2000.00 purse!! Larry you have been wide open in the desert how about on the track again on a PENTON???

Thomas,

Thanks for the thought.  It takes a lot less endurance to peg it down a dirt road 70-100mph than it does to modern moto.  That day passed for me mentally and physically some time ago.  Thanks for the thought though.  Real moto is a young mans game with a few exceptions and unfortunately I am not one of them.

Two strokes are also back for modern amateur mx with a true 125 class and a true 250 class, two or four stroke, being the new AMA rules! Anbody want to roost a 250F with a new KTM 250 two stroke!
