What happens if ?
« on: February 21, 2010, 10:42:04 PM »
What happens to 125/150 2 strokes if rule changes go ahead and 250 2 t's can compete against 250 f's.

Does a new class need to be created for somewhere for these bikes to ride?

Since the intervention of the 4t's the senior classes have gone from 3 to 2 (125, 250, 500 to Lites and Open)

This is something the governing bodies will be looking at when discussing rule changes.

As we know race days are already LLLOOOOOONNNNGGG !!

Do the club's want to have another 3 moto's in an already crammed day?

Any thought's ?

Yeah tough one, But i still believe in three senior classes. 125s, 250s and 500s. With current configuration this is easily achievable. When I first raced in the late 90s a club day was finished by 2pm, because there were several more tracks all running club race days on the same days and the numbers were much more evenly spread, but with the four strokes getting clubs closed down left right and centre, the remaining clubs are trying to fit too much into one day with classes overflowing and then accidents etc slowing racing down and running very late into the day. Possibility of splitting junior and senior races into different days but then this detracts from the family sport orientation that is motocross. Build more tracks/clubs?? This is also difficult as land is becoming harder to find and councils dont want to have anything to do with motocross clubs. The sport needs to continue in the right direction but is at a cross roads and has several dilemmas to deal with. Very debatable topic, very interested in what everyone else has to say !!!!!!!
Two Stroke - A Revolution or Extinction ??

You DECIDE !!

An option would be is to make the current "Junior lites" class a 150 class ( 2 and 4t) this would allow juniors to transition from an 85 to lites more saftely, currently is Australia ( not sure about the rest of the world) kids can jump from an 85 straight to a 250f :o
That would remove the need for an extra class.
