I've been incognito for a bit and a search didn't turn up what I was looking for. Any word on who is in for sure? I've heard Carson Brown, Matty B, and probably Jared Lesher for sure. Heard rumblings about Marv, Jerry Robin, and Henry Miller too. Pretty sure Marv would have everyone one of those guys covered, but Miller, Robin, and Brown will all be hovering between 10-15th. Should be fun to watch(and hear).
Moranz, Masterpool most likely, and a lot of other guys are interested, just don't know who else besides the ones you said and the two i said.
What is the challenge exactly? Separate race or are they trying to get multiple 2 strokes to enter and see who finishes best
Same race but theres like a $25k+ purse for the best placing 250 two stroke.
Miller as injured at Millville, we’re dynoing Jerry’s bike today. Im not sure the Musquin one is true and Masterpool teased himself on a 125 in a four year old video.
The Shop
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Anthony Rodriguez is in. Jared Lesher and Matt Burkeen too.
When is Barcia coming back? I could see him or AP run a 2 stroke. Barcia might be more realistic if he was coming back. Be cool if Craig, Barcia and Stewart were all able to come back and they went out on 2 strokes. Just some wishing, and an otherwise useless post. But I can dream right?
Honda kicking in some $..😂
Moranz teased, idk if he is serious or not, or if he will try to get more points for SMX.
Anyone know if Stainke will make a run at it ?
Any chance Alessi would take a swing at it? If hes got his marbles back from WSX.
Decotis mentioned something about racing a 2 stroke at a National before the end of the season

Looks like Moranz is committed and Steinke commented on an instagram post that he was in.

It would be really cool to see 10 or more make the Moto's.
Any chance that if you had 8-15 guys out there making their owns lines, separate from what the 4 strokes use and it helps them be a little more competitive?
Carson sure as hell won't be hovering 10-15th.
He went 15-20 last year, where do you figure he'll be this year? I'd love to see him top 5, but even he admitted top 10 is a stretch.
Really? Wow my apologies, just hang it alllll out is what I'm hoping for....but still having trouble musing who'll win looking at names...
Can't see why he wouldn't be up there 🤷🏼♂️
The 2 stroke challenge is a race within the regular 450 class race just in case you didn't know that, and lots of companies have put up a bunch of cash for the top 2 stroke. He'll be near the top of that group, if not thee top, for sure. He was running top 10 last year when he crashed. I'm all on board the CB for top 10 bus!
Didn't he get hurt right before the race last year though? I know he hasn't been on the same program but i would expect top 20 if he's healthy.
Pit Row
Yeah, I think so, he hurt his shoulder. It was one of the last 2 years. He raced a Husky 250 2 stroke in 2021 too and did about the same.
All those dudes r going to have to do something to beat CB lmao. I see him probably around 11-13 barring any crashes, bike failures, etc obvs.
I’m betting the best two stroke guy this weekend will probably be 17-14th.
Would seem like a pretty big gamble for someone like Moranz or Robin to go for this and potentially leave SMX points on the table...
By the time they get a 2 stroke, do testing to get it good, find a way to get it to Washougal....are they really money ahead even if they win the Purse?
If they don't win the purse they are almost certainly losing $$ and valuable SMX points.
*Unless I'm missing something and decent purse money has been put up for the top 3-5 two strokes?
I'll be there. I hope we get a pack of them all clumped together and I can root on a nice old school 2 stroke battle.
Corporate Honda probably pulling all the strings they can to make sure 2 strokes don’t get any TV time.
He basically came off the couch if I remember correctly. Also went down in lap 1 moto 1 and basically came from last to 15th. In a deeper field. I don't see a reason why he should be outside the top 15 this year. That redbull lid should at least get him 5 additional positions
Honda can suck it 🤣
Ryan Surratt was flying at Glen Helen on a CR250R. I hope he races too.
He'd have to ride something different though.
Why I never plan to buy one.
Why ?
