Title: A 2Stroke National East.
Post by: grado on February 16, 2011, 01:46:01 PM

How many of you guys would show for a 2stroke only National in the
Mid Atlantic Region?   Mid or late July. 

Any firms out there interested in supporting this type of event?

Post 'em up or get me,  motogrady@yahoo.com if you'd like.

later all......grado

Are you asking about racers or spectators?

You can mark me down as attending as a spectator!  8) 8)

I was wondering the same thing. I don't race but would definitely do my best to be there as a spectator.

And what kind of event would you guys like to attend?

I mean, I would think no 4s at all.
Maybe a 1 day event, 85s, 125s, 250s and Open bikes.
2 half hour motos.
I'm conflicted with running a vintage class.  I'd like to promote the latest,
best stuff still out there.  A vintage class would bring guys for sure, especially if
we could land a few past pros........but I dunno, there's Ahrma for that, plus, that
was then, this is now. 
No weight limits.
No 200 rule.
The track.  I'm thinking something totally new.  Sure, a Budds Creek or Einglishtown
would be great, but most are booked.  Tho new, it would have to be on par with the tracks of today.

Thoughts?

If it is close to Pittsburgh and it is around the last week of July / first week of august there is the possibility I would be there since I would be in pittsburgh for 2 weeks around that time

There,s alot of 1997 to 04 125,s sitting in riders garages. I think alot of riders would like to be on a full gate on there 125,s. I would have  multiple 125 classes,since there,s  more 125,s and riders  and spectators  would Love to here 40 125,s  off the start and racing. I  would have a post entry, with 125 a,12-16 yr olds, 125 vet 30,40plus,125 beginner,125 c,b, 125 17-25,25-30  and  some kind of 250 classes, and a 85 class. With a post entry then you have leverage for sponsors, say you have 126 signed up for 125 c like the old days, sponsors would want to be a part of the crazy fun event. At round 3 of the Racer X vet series at aztalan in Lake Mills Wisconsin, the track had a last minute 125 35a class, 27 riders signed up and the track was under water so alot of people stayed way. The winner got a Past Blue Ribbon beer, just a fun race with a lower sign up fee. Everyone I think would like to have a practice day to learn the track and  a little longer race than a local event, maybe 5 or 6 laps, just an idea. I would go for it, but make it a fun event then you,ll have 600 plus riders easily.
