MAMA series in Delaware/Maryland/Virginia/West Virginia has 14 races....ALL Husky contingency. Very little contingency from the other OEMs.

From a local dealer, they say just send your results in and they will send you money. I wish all of them did that.........

That makes a lot of sense now. The only thing that I question is if the bike will have a negative effect on the development of Dowd's son. Apparently he is riding a Husky too. Looking at the test on the Husky 250f, it seems like the handling and braking are good but is under powered quite a bit. I am sure they can do some mods to get some more HP out do it.

Hopefully they both don't miss a beat on the Huskys.

It says they pay in Husky bucks, unless his dealer is willing to exchange them for cash he won't be making anything but parts money.

MXA says the 2012 250 is quite close to the big 5.

If anything, It would have a positive effect on his son's development. Might hurt his results a little, but you learn better technique when you're down on power. But yeah, it will be interesting to see how it works out for them.

How old is Dowd's son and are they into the amatuer scene heavy or just locally??
