500cc Two Stroke Day at Apex Motocross
On Friday April 10th, Dave Livesey held a 500cc two stroke only day on the Apex motocross track located near Birmingham in England. Due to threatening weather only 43 riders showed up to experience this exciting day of riding.
Some of the well known racers that attended and rode the event included
Rob Herring
David Thorpe
Keith Ree
Greg Hanson
Scott Elderfield
And many more of England’s top racers plied their skills on their 500cc two stroke motocross bikes against the challenging Apex circuit.
The following photos were found on the Adrenaline Trip message board ( http://www.adrenalintrip.net/apex-500/forum/viewtopic/3/298829?siteid=1 ) and were taken by the following photographers. Selvester, lyndonchaplin.com and scorchimages.com
One of the noticeable features of the day was how quiet the bikes were in comparison to the four-stroke racers.
Dave Livesey is planning on bringing the event back for next year and is thinking of building even bigger and better.
A big thank you to Dave Livesey, Lee Jones and the crew from Apex Motocross for supporting and promoting this event.

A 500cc two stroke Suzuki?
Yes! Just add a Honda CR500 engine.
