What happened with the 125 challenge series that made it a clown show?

Serious question.

How much of these two strokes are we gonna get to see?

I hope it's a lot, but I get this tin foil hat vibe that they'll do their best to sweep it under the rug and change cameras any time one is in shot like has been mentioned.

What way do you reckon it'll go?

The dude answered a couple of posts before, "For me it was too many old bikes and varying levels of skill the last time or two. Besides the fact of it being a 4 lap exhibition joke."

Just an opinion, not saying I agree 👍

I don't know much about the 125 challenge besides watching part of one.  The idea seemed pretty interesting.   Why was it a clown show?

Thank you Mr pessimistic 

Not like people were showing up with old clappers for these races. Some pretty nice bikes showed up. Who really cares if a guy showed up on a nice 1987 CR125. It was just a for fun exhibition race to begin with. I know the ama races didn't go that far back. It was just more about the experience.

I thought it was super cool. A lot of cool builds, and hearing a 2 stroke 125 wringing it out hitting the uphill. For us locals a fair amount of ex pro's showed up and had a great time!

Seeing a primo 1987 CR125 and other trick 125's is amazing. Some of you guys act like watching a short MOTOCROSS race with 2-strokes is somehow not worth your attention. Go ahead and turn in your moto card now. 

 

Some people will bitch about bitching.

I had no idea there was a 5 year rule . Kinda silly . It would be great to see some KX , RM , CRs out there . There was a guy a few years ago in EMX 2 stroke that ran pretty good on an RM against the new stuff . Edit : I should say I didn't know there was homologation for the 2 stroke race .

It’s because it’s not really a 2 stroke race, it’s a 2 stroke race within the 450 class so they are subject to the same homologation rules.

its Kade Walker that was on the RM a couple years ago. He races west coast off-road now for SLR Honda.

I hope it's a lot, but I get this tin foil hat vibe that they'll do their best to sweep it under the rug and change cameras any time one is in shot like has been mentioned.

What way do you reckon it'll go?

I’m guessing very little but how often do they show the 15th place rider anyway? I’m guessing Weege will make a passing comment on it at some point and unless one of them is doing particularly well, they’ll just be another one of the backmarkers that isn’t getting TV time as per usual.

What? Seems like a perfect excuse for Bondo to pull off  Sexton passing Lawrence in the last corner of the moto, to show us a guy on a two stroke in 15th place.👍

Ah, he was just ripping a 2 Stroke up a fire road step up gap and tagged MotoMemes and Tyler Stepek.

The entry list is up! I hope it's wrong on bikes for Moranz and Robin, Lesher is not on the list. Still 11 guys if these 3 are out.  I have been updating a post on the first page. Hand is on the list and on a two stroke! 

Some real fast guys that could challenge Brown but I think he is still the favorite to win it.

Yeah I’d guess it’s wrong on Robin. ML posted a photo of his YZ250. It still shows Marchbanks on a 250F so Imma say it’s at least wrong on Robin.

I think he is racing Stepek’s 2023 ktm 250 SX that’s why

I know for a fact Jeremy Hand will be race a KTM two stroke this weekend. 👍😎 I talk to his uncle and he told me Jeremy is absolutely shredding on that two-stroke. I’m really excited for the weekend and glad that this event is happening.
