Who ever... please take photos and tape the stroke challenge. Stanton and J Ward have entered the race. PLEASE! PLEASE... give the this race the attention it deserves.

This weekend is the Four Stroke World Championships at Glen Helen. It is replacing The Prequel, which used to take place prior to the season opener. It’s time for a name change, because what used to be an exception has now become the rule. They might as well just call it the World Championships; that’s a popular title these days. In a strange, ironic twist, I just signed up for the Two-Stroke Challenge that is taking place at Glen Helen on Saturday before the national. It’s shock how quickly two-strokes have become nostalgic, isn’t it? It will be good to hear all those pre-mixers blasting off the line one more time. In addition to the two-stroke race, they are having a quad race (yipeee!) and a legends race on Saturday morning before pro practice also. They have Jeff Ward, Jeremy McGrath, Greg Albertyn, Jeff Emig, Jeff Stanton, and Steve Lamson signed up already for that event. If you are going to be there, check it out.

What an event... Legends on two strokes. Kind of like the greats on the PGA.

Why would anyone want to race inferior motorcycles?
They should call it what it is, an exhibition.

If Larocco enters, he will be a contender.

Actually any good engineer would tell you a 2stroke engine > 4 stroke engine given similar rules. O well forget we already been down this road too many times.. Imagine how good the 250 2 stokes would be in 2009 if they received equal R&D as the 450 4 strokes received in the past 7 years. Scary!
