Whats the difference between super mini 1 and 2?

I believe just ages, 12-15 and 13-16 like mini sr 1&2. Just a way to give them 2 classes to race in their age range. One could also argue it’s the reason so many classes and then the mini parents want these at the local races. The promoter likes the extra cash and the riders complain of a long race day…

You would think Yamaha being the only other OEM to make 2 strokes would have a larger presence in the 65/85/125 classes but guess they do well enough with their 250f that’s it’s not worth the resources

IMO, the YZ and KX need updating. 

Still weird to see their minimal presence in the mini classes. 

Would be cool to see an all new KX 65. 

I don't pay a huge amount of attention to 85's, I thought Yamaha updated the 85 a couple of times semi recently, a few years ago and then '22 with the big two strokes?

In guessing this is plastics / token small changes like the KX85/112 rather than a legit 'lets take the fight to the Austrians' kind of update?

It is kind of a shame, I do like KTM for the most part and won't shit-talk them at all but it is disappointing to see certain classes simply be KTM/Husky/GasGas. I can't blame the families at all either, if you're that commited you're never going to pull up to the gate at a disadvantage.

Are they not live broadcasting this morning?  I see something at bottom that says 8:30 cst. is that when they plan to start?  Anyone seeing live this morning?  I just got a blank screen. timing and scoring is working fine.  I should probably just go ride anyway.  lol

Fuck man Mother Nature is not on our side this year. Must be payback for all those beautiful weeks with no rain we’ve had in the past.

You are a scholar and a gentleman. I didn’t even think about that.

The puddles are over the seats on some of these insides. The pushed off mud is just holding in all the water

The YZ and KX have recently been updated, but nothing major. IMO, they need a full revamp if they want to be competitive and fight against the KTM Group.

What are y’all talking about? Brian said in one of their videos, that’s all he sees at the track now is Yamaha 85s because of Hudson! 😏

Why have they been so worried about the rain this week?

sometimes you just have to send them and let them race. They are already very far behind, and now they’ve sat here for 20+ minutes just due to rain. I’m not really sure of the thought process on the rain delays the last few days.

I think it’s more of a lightening issue.

Nice to see the kids not just tossing their goggles but putting them over their arm.

Yeah Cotter has no problem sending kids into the really muddy muck for an 1 1/2 hour race in the GNCC's. The Penton race in Ohio this year was so muddy that people were just trying to stay upright walking,........but the race went on.

Haha! Remember they were going to have the 50's do 2 motos instead of 3 until the parents bitched about not getting 3 motos.

2014 was the last KX85 overhaul and that was not even all new.  112 is based on that chassis.  Kawi needs an all-new bike.  Don’t even get me started on the 65.

Man. Blackwater100.

I fell like 7 times in a race like this and still somehow won at sunstate raceway and Pax years ago.  Loved every minute. Good times.
