I bet McDade can get a top 10 if he is able to race enough rounds!  This excites me.

Sweeet Charles. How does he like his bike? Running a flywheel weight?

Really? Thats interesting. Maybe after this season you could post up a full rundown on the motor work? Be an interesting starting point. I'm amazed you're not running a flywheel weight.

I requested they be built with a broad powerband and for reliability, Cycle Playground did just that.
Tons of bottom all the way through. We just switched from the Shorty to PC2 and it gave it what was missing on top. They all chose the red PV spring and map 2 on the switch.

the ktm's already have pretty big flywheel weights to begin with, combine that with swithcing pc springs/pipe/silencer and they make pretty broad power

Awesome charles, thanks. I thought you would want to keep your exact specifications under your hat. Man a two stroke in Pro AMA Motocross. When was the last one fielded? Anyone know? I mean the absolute last, not just the last factory.

High Point 2011 is the last time I remember.  Ty Newcome and Jeff Gibson put a YZ and a borrowed KTM 250XC into the show.  Gibson's bike still had electric start.  In rained for the 2nd moto and Newcome finished 22nd, nearly getting in the points.  Gibson ended up 25th that moto too.  Gibson tried for the following rounds but didn't qualify again.
