I don’t know whether or not they’re eligible but I think it’s smart to buy the bike for the other 97% of the time that you’ll be riding it. Would be fun to do a couple all star races, but it’d be WAY more fun to ride the bike you want the majority of the time

Yes it is by invitation but signing up early could help your chances. As far as having a big bore like a 144, ehhh I'm not so sure. Didn't Durham ride a big bore cr and get DQ ? As far as I know bikes like tm 144, ktm/hsq 150 and big bores in general not allowed but maybe someone else that knows for a fact can clarify. Id like to know as well cause I would like to do the Southwick and unadilla rounds and if it's allowed my tc125 will be a 150 instead. Need all the extra juice I can get lol

They probably don't do checks before the race.
So 2 scenarios.
if you think you are going to finish mid pack then you probably won't get pulled for tear down.
And if you do get pulled and DQ who cares? You raced was part of a national and had fun and that's the goal. so what if you get DQ the results don't go down on paper.

I'd say buy the 144 since you plan to ride it more than just this race

You can pick a 134 out of pack of true 125,s. A 144 would get busted quick. Ping raced a 144 at the Dream race. Albertson was on a 125. Do they tear down the top 5 or anyone who does not sound legal ? A 2mm stoker crank would be less noticeable sounding. 1mm up 1 mm down. They bark harder threw the mid tho.

Technically, supposed to be 125’s. The rules were super loose the first year and have been tightening up. But, like somebody mentioned, you aren’t going to get hassled unless you’re up front. It’s been first come, first served, as far as entries go, though there are some requirements. And they save 10-12 spots for last-minute guest riders like RV, Brownie, Durham, Ryno, etc. These are super fun and I recommend doing one if you can. I wouldn’t sweat the details buddy... there’s no money or points on the line. It’s all about the experience.

I would Like to run a 04 chassis with a 06 engine. Need to peel the 04 decal off the frame. Swing arm is more square and beefy, Than a 05-07. Not a lot of CR 125 in the races. They would probably let it slide. I know the rule is last 3 yrs of bike that was made.

I don't think it is invitation only this year, it hasn't been up to now.
The requirements are that you must be a B grade rider or above and then just a current model 125 or the last 3 years of bikes that are no longer in production.

I plan on doing Pala in Sept if I can fly back to the U.S.
And definitely a few of the rounds next year. I think it would be an amazing experience to race on national tracks and potentially line up with some legends of the sport!

Would be fun to see a split start 20 125's and 10sec later 20 "open class" 2strokes with an extra bag of nothing if the open rider takes first.

I say double row start, with 80 on the gate.
Millville 97 had 1,384 amateur riders signed up, not including late sign ups. Practice was super crazy, with most trying to win it or take someone out. Sneaking out for more practice etc. Anyone ever run that VP mxro2 fuel 172.00 for 5 gal ouch. Notice any gain over c-12 ?

We've done this the last two years at Washougal. Rather disorganized since Joey no longer running it so can't imagine how you would get protested or torn down unless someone had a grudge & knew for sure? They are definitely fun & a great experience though. Would be nice if they at least enforced the B class or above rule though. My kid got taken out in first turn of Heat 1 by a rider who was barely C level. Still qualified directly & finished 5th in main but made for an unnecessary stressful day. Both my boys will be signed up for this years now that youngest is old enough for some sibling rivalry..........
