They should be rolled across a scale at the entrance, scrap value calculated, and pointed in the direction of the nearest recycling facility.

Best answer yet! No electric bikes and motos worth the entry fee-win/win!

Knowing how they ride, would you feel disadvantaged lining up next to a competitor on an Alta/Stark who is of equal skill and fitness to yourself?

I know i wouldn’t have a shot at the holeshot and if it’s a really tight track or a track with switchback they have the advantage. The rest of the track it equals out

My old 5 hundo comes out of the hole pretty quickly, and I ain't shifting much. 

After that, I just shut off and chase everyone around in 2nd or 3rd.

It's not about what we think, it's about what the manufacturers think

I truly hope Electric dirt bikes isn't the future of Supercross and Motocross, it was a big shocker to most when 4-strokes started to dominate the sport and a lot of us never got over the sweet smell of Blendzall Castor oil in the morning.  I can't stand Electric dirtbikes, the awful Whine! they make, the sound of the tires slapping against the whoops and simply the loss of the soul of a motocross bike, hearing the bark! of a perfectly jetted 125 or 250 2-stroke or the power of a 4-stroke.   If it ever comes to all electric dirtbikes, Supercross and Motocross will simply be dead, because I can't imagine going to a stadium and watching a bunch of those soul less electric dirtbikes running around a supercross track in a stadium filled with a bunch of woke Soy Latte drinking eco freaks screaming for their favorite to win a main event, before their battery runs out.  I don't care how fast they are, without combustion engines, it'll be boring.
