Good luck Matt! I’m sure some people might reach out after this to help you out to cover some expenses. People love to support the 2 stroke guys!

If the rules were fair, you’d be lining up in the 250 class, but……….best of luck and enjoy!

not that there's anything wrong with that. Wink

Good luck 820. Running only about 55% displacement of the four strokes, you're sounding and smelling better than they are.

Pulling for ya ! What are the odds the officials pull a cylinder off to check for displacement?

Nothing says privateer like rolling up in a pickup. This one is a bit fancier than the Ford Ranger he showed up to the JB10 race in Iowa in.

Great to see a local hitting the Nationals.

Vendetti will be out there on a YZ smoker too. Maybe you guys can team up and share expenses?

Have him listed on a YZ250F as well. I guess it's like ions ago where they let someone race a TM because they thought it was a mistake and must have been a KTM. Would think the powers that be know what bikes are what. Although I personally have no idea how the sign up works.

I really appreciate and applaud your efforts and loved watching your first video in this thread.

I'd like to pitch in and help you out a bit with your efforts.....do you a gofundme page or PayPal or some other way I can shoot you a little $ to help you out?

I'm not looking for any mentions or shout outs or anything like that. I'm sure every little bit will help so maybe I can be the first of many others that give you a little nudge forward if they feel compelled to do so like I am.

God Bless.....have fun and enjoy this journey but most of all please stay safe!

Concentrate on 2 fast laps to qualify. Then a 1 moto race. 1st moto should b tacky clay . Ride hard as you can for 20 min then ride a wide bike taking the fastest lines the last 10 min. The last 10 min the factory riders hv a huge advantage. 2nd moto will b hard and slick 4st advantage. 97 Millville on a 95 yz125 NCY sx bike butter soft forks with sx valving shock. Head shake bad way out of balance. Yet I could run down a cr250 pro in the whoops in a late practice setion. He finished 16th in a national with his best 11th. A top 3 in 125 sx. The pros r fast no doubt but there not as fast as people think. I was coming off a reconstructed knee and shoulder.

Outstandingly! A Privateer in the truest sense and a 2 stroke to boot! Matt, you’ll never regret this decision. Like the folks above, I would also like to contribute to your effort. Lots of crumbs makes a cake....

Best of luck to young Mr. Burkeen.

I'm still baffled why the AMA types do not let ALL 250cc bikes run in their 250cc class. Angry
