So I guess we all can agree '05 was the last time a 2 Stroke won some points Outdoors?

Kawasaki was rushing to get a 450 to market and that is why James had to run the KX250 outdoors. In one of those rounds he set the fastest lap time too.......in 2005!!

It is amazing that it really wasn't that long ago when two strokes were king. The heavy hitters didn't make the switch in Supercross until 2006 - carmichael, reed, and bubba. Not exactly ancient history.

Stewart was on a kx250 in 05. That was the year he landed on Carmichael back at unadilla.

Dang! Good call

I was standing right there before the uphill whoop triple. Watched the whole thing. Epic, watching Stewy come through that section.

agreed charles.

Sure can charles. I believe he still won some points in the 2006 supercross series, but he switched to the four stonk for the 06 nationals.

I dont reckon. I would think there was still some top 20 guys riding two strokes in 2006 at least. I know its hard to find much info on it, as the archived results dont show what bikes the riders were on. I might go and re watch The Great Outdoors DVD's and see who is still riding two strokes in like '06,'07.

Yeah, the vault is where we were looking

Man, really. '05 is the last time someone scored points at a national on two stroke. That is way too long ago. I was sure someone would have scored at least a point on a two stroke since then. Even Doug Henry's ride at Southwick on a two stroke was in '05. Damn, the years do go past quick.

The closest guy to it recently was Ty Newcome at High Point, 2011. He got a 22nd in a muddy second moto on a YZ 250. Jeff Gibson also rode on a borrowed 250XC with electric start still in place that round, he ended up 25th that same moto. Gibson tried to ride out a few more events on the same bike but failed to qualify.
