Isn't this something? Wow, I never would have guessed that this would take off like it has. Even the AMA rep seems somewhat agreeable to considering this. Here's his reply:
"Hi Mark,
I've passed this on to the mx series manager. It sounds like your group must have some KTM interest as they are the only ones building two strokes in that size range. Otherwise we will have to allow boring and stroking to come up with those numbers. We will take it under advisement and discuss the merits. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
We are right in the meat of our racing activity for the 2010 season so we won't be able to put it on the front burner. I hope you understand. I will stay in touch though. Thanks again."

Please pass the petition along to others - forums, blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I'm sure if the AMA sees the number of people who have agreed to this, that they will actually be motivated to make the change!
