Cool. I guess that answers the question if he just races because of smx points

Sure he can. If Längenfelder steps up to open. Add in Koch or Nagl and that's a solid team

Super bummed Suzuki doesn't make an eligible two stroke that we could see him race at Ironman... 

Maybe he can race his Straight Rhythm YZ with yellow plastics again lol

He could win ironman if he's got a competitive bike.  windham tried this years ago with so so results but they ride quite different.

I know it's a different team, but Schwartz has been doing pretty well on it. They're not getting much attention, but he got a top 5 at Millville. 

Twisted Tea and BarX both use Twisted Development for their engines, so it should be good. 

I think it's cool and it's one way to get people talking and the media's attention.

If he wins at Ironman does that make him eligible for 250 SMX?

German here but I don't think we will see that. We will have the strongest team in over 10 years with Kenny, Nagl and Längenfelder on the 250. I doubt they will change anything. That team can win, specially with how Längenfelder performed on that track the last couple of years.

But if I remember correctly, Kenny wanted to race a 250 2 stroke at the last round in 2016 aswell, but they didn't let him or something like that. I think this is just Kenny doing what he wanted for a long time already. And since he doesn't need any SMX points, seems to be the perfect opportunity to do it now I guess.

Sorry, i forgot about Längenfelder.

Him on a 250 is clearly better than Roczen on one.

Still love to see when guys drop down in classes like Cairoli riding mx2 at mxdn, Ken riding a 125 in Italy the last mx2 season or the 2016 250 2t ride before the shitty american homologation rule fucked that one over for all the fans.

And ofc RC’s 125 appearence.

This is exactly what I was thinking...if KR does good on the bike (whatever place = good) does it add credibility to the platform knowing it's not 100% the bike? Would a higher caliber rider become more interested in BAR-X? I love this type of thing. KROC is awesome.
