wasn't blose riding for H&H dodge ? i wonder what happened to that ride?
if any of the pro teams should be running 2 strokes it should be the hart and huntington team
1. H&H are SX only, but are supposed to run both in 2013.
2. H&H are Kawasaki-backed, and Kawi doesn't have a two stroke.
I've been saying since day 1, if ANY team should be running a two stroke it is JGR. They not only have factory Yamaha backing, but have the manpower and shop to make it competitive with the 450s on the pro level. Yes, I am aware they built one for Josh Grant for the whip contest at the X-games, but that was probably graphics, a pipe, and suspension valving. But at least it goes to show that JGR actually owns a 250 two stroke.
Out side of that, the 2011 KTM 250SX is legal and it's a 2012 without linkage. No reason a top privateer could not be on one with some hellacious motor work and one of those trick carbs they do for them now.
Has anyone heard about AJ actually considering getting the AMA to sign off on his AF bikes? There are talks. And if the AMA said no, i'd show them a picture of the 1997 YZM400, and tell them they are hallucinating.
^^^^^^You can race a handmade works bike^^^^^^, but you can't race a 2012 KTM250SX, or a 2001 CR250 engine in a 2009 chassis.
