saw this on another post. this is the kind of purse a 2st nat needs to get some attention. its a little over half of a pro nat race

So I take it the pro class is using the AMA's 4stroke handicap rules :-[

There,s smaller 2-st. races, last weekend Kellog Mn. had a 1,000.00 purse plus payback. For 125A class, yes a 125 EXPERT 2-st. class and OPEN A 2-STOKE. Kellog Mn. is very close to the Millville natl., last weekend. The promoter posted the race on wisconsinmx.com, just before the weekend. A very short notice, I was mad about that, and didn,t want to get others pissed off. So I didn,t post about it. On sept. 9 th practice and the 10th race, at Aztalan, in Lake Mills Wi. It,s round 3 of the RACER X vet series. The track is talking about having a 125 35 A class, the winner gets a Past Blue Ribon, 5 bucks to sign up. I think the class might have some changes by then, to get 40 125,s on the track. The track gets 28 to 30 in vintage class, which is not a district class anymore. They decided to run it on there own, they randomly picked a year 2002 and older, but newer 125,s race it. It,s mostly 125,s, from what I here.

I looked at both links and found very little about 2 strokes!!
Even though it's been said before, if a local or regional or even National 2 stroke event is going to be held, Two Stroke Motocross .com will help promote the event!
What do you have to do?
1- Have an event.
2- Have at least one 2 Stroke only class.
3 - Supply when, where and sign up information.
That's all! It will be posted in an article on the main site. Plus be listed on the Race Schedule page.
Do you here me promoters?? You will get FREE publicity for running two-stroke race events!!!

What if we have local events which are not getting much attention and allow any bike to enter?
I rode my 1984 KTM 495 in a local poker run :) Would those count to promote? I mean this isn't MX and it is to promote trail building in the woods however when these guys put up these events and they don't get a large turn out (we only had 60 riders turn out they were expecting 100) we don't get much back to support the trails.

As far as I concerned, if it's an event where two-strokes are treated equally (example 250 =250) then yes I will help to promote it.
On the other hand, if the event requires a handi-cap for four-strokes, they are on their own as far as promotion goes! :D :D
Poker Runs, Jet Ski events, MX, Hare Scrambles, Enduos... if it's an event that features or allows two-strokes to compete fairly, I'll help out.

Maybe on the main page could have another top level bar "Local Events" and under there you select a region and there's schedules there with various events going on in those regions which quality for 2 stroke friendly?

For ideas for a 2-st. race, www.motokazie.com (http://www.motokazie.com) , click on the pic, then scrowl down and click on Kellog mx 7-18 flier, in blue. I would just have 125,s b/c class, and 125 a , with 500 to 1st, 2 nd 200 , plus 200 % payback, that should get some fast experts there, to race for the win. That would reward the front 2 riders, and should make for great battles, the 200 % payout would go back to 5th place. The 12-16 junior 125,s would have there regular class and they can race a second class. Try to include a second class for riders, like 25a,30a, plus 40, then they can also race 125 a,b or c. I always liked to race 2 classes, use the 2nd class for fun, because you liked the berms or the rythem section, etc. Just some ideas thrown out there, it,s storming again, it,s been crazy lately. Teusday a track west of Green Bay had a tornado touch down near a track having a open ride, trailers were tipped over, 1 landed on a rider and messed him up.
