Wonder how long it will be until they do the same in motocross. :P  Good luck to Charlie Mullins because he has the same last name as me.  To bad were not related. :(

I went to an enduro cross in my area recently and was amazed at the number of Gas Gas 2Ts at the event.They were so quiet you could barely hear the Gassers over the 4T racket.I'm pretty sure there were at least as many Gassers as all the Japanese makes combined,plus the usual "orange sea" and LOTS of Husqvarnas.

Sweet, but are they racing the big bike class?  They are allowed to race the 300XC I am pretty sure???Oh wait, looks like it will be for the enduro.  Wonder for GNCC what they will race...

GNCC
1. XC1 Pro (Bikes): (122cc-Open 2/4 Stroke).

2. XC2 Lites (Bikes): (122-250cc 2/4 Stroke).

A good change,
going to 2T is good for the US offroad- and trails sector!
It will open some eyes for sure. .

  That's GREAT news! Now hopefully people will see that KTM is indeed investing & racing their 2-stroke line of " Ready To Race " 2-smokers!!!....Hellz yeah!  ;D  :D  :P

Now that the Husaberg TE 2 Strokes are coming to the USA as highly competitive offroad weapons,

they can not afford their overweight 4 Strokes to be beaten by the blue KTM 2 Strokes.

If you can't beat 'em, join them!  :D :)

One of the guys in our area races a gasgas and it's actually spooky how quiet it is.Pretty cool  8)
