*NEW VIDEO*- Project Two 50_Unadilla

[ivfilmsllc]

Well guys we tried but fell just short of making the main event at Unadilla. But, it is saying something

that we were only one second off of the qualifying time on a stock 250 2 stroke in the 450 class.

Let me know what you think and lets hope for the best (and a little more luck) at Southwick.

Enjoy

Well, that was cool. You're out there bro, keep it up.

Cool vid, too bad you couldn't have some race footage in there.

I thought you guys had a pretty trick motor?

[ACMX]

In the description  they explain how the motor blew in the first practice and quickly replaced it with a stock one. I can't believe they were one second away from qualifying!!

sick, Man that really sucks.  Next time youll come out fighting and show them how its done.  Keep up the great work and success will follow.

Cool video!

Not to nitpick, but according this you guys were about 7 seconds off. The cut-off was 2:15.916 (#40)  , Mike's best was 2:22.735 (#71) . But honestly with a stock engine I am surprised it was even that close. I think Mike did well under the cicumstances. We just need to get these mechanical gremlins to go away.

TRULY INSPIRING !!!!!

Keep at it guys, WE have to make a difference !!!!!!

[2smoker]

I still wondering why you guys don't have much support to that project??? So many businesses related to 2 stroke out there!!!!! This is so bad-ass! Mike is really inspiring!!

I wish these videos had more riding and less editing... Still better than nonething I guess.

Dude,

They have heaps of support. Have you been following the project???

Go and find me another privateer that has the same level of support as this, as well as the fan base and media following !!!!!!

Once Project Two 50 qualifies, it will be big news, and the next race is a two strokes dream. SAND !!!!!!

Has anyone considered contacting some people for PR support, rather than companies for financial support?  I think it would be rather significant if we got, say, Bob Hannah to pull out some of his infamous no-bullshit opinions in favor of Project Two-50.  That's making the assumption that he'd be on our side, but this just feels like the kind of issue he'd have a nice rant about.

Jetz you hit the bull's-eye with that comment, you can't be more correct! We need to remember this is a huge undertaking, Project Two 50 is trying to revamp an entire industry.  An industry that some MFG's would like to bury the smoker (some have tried).  Guys you are doing the 2-stroke banner proud.  We know you were disapointed, so were we...  but....  you are so close...  don't let the set-back get to you..  We know you can do it.  Next race it will happen.  You've had enough bad luck, its time to turn the page and show the world the smoker is back.  We are all behind you....

Paul did an amazing job on this video... he didn't get a huge amount of footage of Mike on the track, mostly because Mike did not get that much time on the track.

As for PR... I think I'm doing an alright job on that, even getting mentions in the magazines or magazine sites... not bad for an unproven team.

Some folks even feel that Project Two 50 is getting too much press... so it all depends on how you look at it...

We have a great deal of support from many different people and companies, but we are still running on a very, very low budget. Mike is paying all his own entry fees, gas, food and other incidentals... it's not easy to make this happen.

We continue to do our best....

I agree you all are doing a great job. My only "suggestion" (NOT a complaint) is everybody should be on the same page when giving out info after a race. Take this video for example. This video says they missed by 1 second, but over on ThumperTalk the mechanic posted an update blaming the engine plating and saying they they missed it by three seconds, but if you look at the times you can see it was 7 seconds. To me that is an easy thing to confuse because it is so hectic at the race track. But to any naysayers or critics it could be construed as false information trying to make the bike and rider appear faster.

Honestly being that close with a stock engine is pretty damn impressive to me. I also cannot even fathom how much of yourselves you ALL are putting into this project. I applaud you guys and will continue to cheer you one whether you qualify, miss by 1 second, or miss by 7 seconds. It's all good stuff to me as a fan.

I will be at Steel City and gladly offer any help I can give to help shoulder the load some.
