Project 250

i was just wondering now john is no longer running this site - whether project 250 will still be moving forward and competing in 2010 or if it has been shelved?

They decided to just wait until 2003 to compete

Thats a good question. I am still trying to plan everything out.
I am taking care of several things right now and am buried at my desk.
We definately plan on a racing team for 2012, as for the 2011 Pro season I am not sure. There are quite a few things still up in the air.
'Project 250' was transfered with TSM, but I am not sure if it will be changed or not.
What do you guys think? Keep it Project 250, or start fresh?

Charles, I would say do what you think will work. My knowledge of Project 250 is what I read on here. It seemed as though it was expensive and didn't accomplish what it set out to do. It got a lot of support, in the form of positive comments on this website, because it was a gutsy thing at the time.

As a reader, I hope you secure some more advertising and revenue streams. That will ensure this site stays up. This site is a little beacon of light and I sure want it to be around.

[Charles Owens]

Well, I'm not really one to follow in someone elses footsteps..
I'm pretty sure we will be starting from scratch.
John did a great job getting this site to a respectable point with a great group of people.
Advertising has started with many plans happening all the time.
Good things to come, thank you guys for the support!

If it is in 2012, then we can call it "Project 2-Maicos"  (125 and 250).

He said 2012.     Not 2022

I say get cedric on board and then you will see some great results.

[SwapperMX]

Yeah, from everything I have seen and heard, definitely start from scratch. To get another two stroke on the line and to be successful, I think you would want to re-create the passion and excitement Project two 50 had, but not try to carry the burden of an unsuccessful attempt at qualifying for a national. Project two 50 was great for us two stroke fans and the guys tried their hearts out, but it unfortunately gave the four stroke die hards further proof that the two stroke is uncompetitive under the current AMA rules. We can, if done correctly, give hope to all two stroke fans by getting two strokes qualified and lining up for the main races.

Any one know what Brian Schukhart is doing. That guys is a bad ass on his two strokes, and it seems he was basically riding stock standard bikes the last couple of years. Get him behind our cause, and get the ball rolling !!

I say, if Burn's petition gets through we should ditch Project Two-50 and start with Project 300!  That would not only give a better chance of winning, but it would draw attention to the rule change and help normalize the 300 two-stroke in the sport.

I would be all over that! 

[Watson777]

I say do what feels right to you and make sure you have a rider on the West coast! 

[evo550]

I'd say move it to a country that has parity in the classes, and kick some arse!!

[SwapperMX]

Most definitely. Bring it down under and stir things up. I have enough connections and bikes, if there is any rider good enough to battle for a lites National championship. PJ Larsen won it this year. Would be even better to see a two stroke win it next year. I am sure EVO would help out also!! Any takers ??

[chump6784]

yeah bring it down here to oz. robbie marshall has been getting his yz250 up there in the super x, would be good to see another 2 banger up there too
