General Two Stroke Talk / fred andrews racing YZ250 GNCC bike

some of you might know who he is, a former AMA pro MX'er and former pro GNCC, now has his own race team and dealership. i was reading June '10 Dirt Bike mag and they had a feature about his GNCC race team bike, a YZ 250. Yamaha pulled their support since Andrews wanted to race the 2 stroke as they only want to support the WR 4 stroke. Fred decided that because of the economics of racing (maintence and hop up) the 2 stroke being cheaper was the deciding factor. but now that 250 2 strokes can race in the XC2 (250F) class in AMA GNCC i think that was also a factor. according to Fred at the '09 Loretta Lynn's GNCC there was so much water and mud it required complete 4 stroke rebuilds that wiped out the teams parts budget for the year!
