An earlier poster mentioned TM as being elligable, but I don't see any reference to them, nor Sherco or Beta, who all produce 125s. Sure, not MX designated 125s ( a Sherco won a round of major - OZ titles? - lights blazing, recently) , but modern, current 125s nonetheless.
So, are the smaller manufacturers 'blocked from competing? Is a (homologation) rule that is used to keep out small brands from the 250s and 450s being used when 3 of the major manufacturers don't even make 125 2ts anymore? If so, it's bizzare. They've been given an 'in' (and I'm fine with that) with their last few years of production, well, why in hell are not the small manufacturers that Still make / have made new 125 2ts allowed in? Manufacturers that choose Not to make 125 2ts should not be placated / bent over for - if they are not interested. Let those brands that Are, race.
And only 4 laps...........
As I've written before, I hope DC & Co bring this to a full series next year, with at least a 20 + 2 lap moto, and all current 125 2t manufacturers bikes being allowed to compete.
Specifically my call to them was for two questions:
First, the rules stating certain bikes for certain years. They both leaned on the fact that the rules are out there now and should be followed. I read between the lines and believed that if someone showed up with a really nicely built 2003 and kept their nose clean that it wasn't likely they would get DQ'd, but it was a risk to show up with anything outside of the rules on the chance that you could potentially be turned away for not being eligible.
Second, the elephant in the room for these types of races are big bore kits. This answer was much more clear and concise, the rule is 125cc and they immediately offered that last year they DQ'd someone found to have a big bore. No games on this one was my take.
The final thought... build up a killer 125, jet it up, and have some fun!

It is amazing that this class and everything around it creates so much passion. It’s what the fans want.
thanks for clearing that up.
Nonetheless, Thank you, DC, for quickly responding, and, telling us that the 125 rules are fair and appropriate to what Is being produced for the 125 market.
Hopefully, next year, it will develop into a full series. If not, perhaps an East / West dual series, to keep costs down for Championships aspirants? If it's good for SX, well, why can't it be used for 125s, at least until it becomes a full, single, National Championships.
What we don't want is a third professional championship class. There is not enough time in the program to do it properly (as we found out with the WMX) nor do we want to run off guys like RV and Josh Hansen who are doing it for the fun and the fans enjoy seeing.

Really shitty that GH is gone again from our Nationals, in fact it fucking sucks, for a multitude of reasons.
No other track in the series transfers as well to TV, nothing even comes close imo. The coverage was incredible there! The one track i hope i get a chance to see a national at some point.
Anyways back on track, glad the 125 races are returning. A novelty act or not its still cool.
