There was a thread over at vitalmx saying that jeff gibson is going to race a 250sx at high point.  Does anyone know if this is true.

Andrew, the only way he'll get any real coverage is if someone from here does it. Someone could go up to him at High Point take a few photos and ask a few questions. Using that info create a little article that Charles can publish.

This is the only way to really cover two-strokes at the Pro Races. Sure the mainstream media may publish a little blurb, but to get it done now, we have to all work together to make it happen.

There are a few folks on here from Western Pennsylvania, any of you willing to do that?

If so, Charles may be able to get you a media pass to get into the pits. Well if you ask him really nicely!  8) 8)
Life is short.

I would gladly do that John, unfortunately I am going to miss High Point this year for the first time in more years than I can remember. I just don't have the money right now, the races are getting very expensive. My nephew Zach is bummed too as I always take him.

But that is a great idea about the interview/pictures.

I hope he does well.
But on TV broadcasts they will only mention 2 things about 2 strokes;
-the old 2 strokes
or;
-The little 2 strokes

John Nicholas is correct,
he hit the nail on the head.
If we want 2 stroke coverage, some passionate underdogs have to go do this,
because the mainstream media are only allowed to praise these ''big and powerfull'' 4 $trokes...  :-\

I would be honored to do an interview with Jeff Gibson there. It's kinda long way to come all the way to make it from Finland, tho'...

Too late, Charles tried, I was going to go for TSM. They said we need to let them know at least two week sin advance in the future...

Showing three riders on 250 2-strokes signed up for the 450 class this weekend. Have #922 Tanner Young on a YZ250, #414 Brian Shuckhart on a YZ250, and #88 Jeff Gibson on a 250SX. Good luck, guys!

Oh, and I'll be at Red Bud if anyone has any ideas for possible two stroke coverage. I'm game!

I will be at High Point with a High Def Cam and would gladly get video and pics.

If I can do this for you, I would have to know quite soon, as I'm preparing to leave to Hanover to stay overnight on the way to the race tomorrow.

I would also like to know what you would like to to ask the racers, if anythign in particular?

If not I would just spin up some good'ol 2 strokey stuff for the occasion?

If I leave before I can be reached by Email, please reach me by calling cell phone (908) 672-8856. It's my bud Bruce's #. I don't carry a cell. The cell phone would be the best way to forward the press pass info to me if you want me to get a little coverage.

Thanks,

Jim
I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..
