This guy would.
I'd think we'd see less injuries and the racing would be umm, racier.
250cc limit in the premiere class - any stroke goes.
150cc limit in the junior class - any stroke goes.
450s outdoor ? Oh hell yes.
Discuss, with beer and nachos.
And NO cross-jumping !

Injuries will always be there. Take away the purse, the crowd the stadium. As long as people make things to go hog wild on, people will in fact go hog wild on them.
Remember 450's are racing the SX track in second and third.
Its not just me saying it.

let them go in the outdoors.
these modern day 250f's are plenty for indoors. bring back the tiddler class for lites...omy that would rock.
If you change the class requirements, the mfrs would build bikes to fit those classes, it might take a couple years,
but they'd adapt. The question arises are the promoters or sanctioning body willing to take that risk and alter the
playing field ? Doubtful, but it needs done.
ones building 'em - and they lacked refinement due to little R&D - due to poor bike sales....
What I am saying is, I have no problem losing 200 cc's on any of the bikes. As long as they are long legged they are still going to as dangerous. 7" of suspension today is not the same as 7" of suspension we rode on in the 70's. Slow the bikes down.

I think 250Fs have been a disaster for the sport, but the 450s are good bikes. They can put on a great race when there's a healthy field.
ANd since we are dreaming...To decrease costs...
1)CC for CC racing... allow the damn 2 stroke already.
2) leave the open class and add a 125cc class. The races are only 15 min a piece, they can squeeze in another moto or two. I think we could do without 15 min of fireworks, intros, and t shirt cannons anyhow. Even if they just run the main event in the night show and do the qualifiers during the day. Or run a 2 moto format?
with these 2 steps you have accomplished making racing cheaper as well as providing another entry class. The girls could possibly ride the 125 class with success? The additional entry class needs to be monitored for upgrades. NO high dollar trannys, no $10K fork legs. Make it a true spec class for stock bikes. force the top 5-10 in the class each year to move up... allowing for new blood.
