Good job AJ.

Keep us informed if you are able to. Any idea what shape the track is in?

Boy, that's not much practice time on the track. Seems to me that they used to get more time than that, but maybe I'm having a senior moment.

gotta trim down the program for video?

Albee.

Richie got the holeshot....Albee went by shortly after....first trip up the big uphill Albee had about a 5 bike lead....Richie blew by with the big 500...it was awesome! Albee got back by and pulled away....Richie had a battle with Phil Lawrence for 2nd until the last lap when lawrence got by on his KTM....

1.) Greg Albertyn
2.) Phil Lawrence
3.) Richie Owens

by the way, it was so cool to hear the sound of 42 2-strokes off the start....hope they do this race again next year...

and at ALL the nationals!

Braaap! Keep em alive!!!!

How muddy was it ?

the quad race took up most of the mud....so the track looked perfect for the 2-strokes....should be great tomorrow.

thanks krazee1

I heard those top three phil/ albee /richie really were hauling and put a huge gap
on the rest of the pack, as well as putting on a good battle/great show..


from Service Honda-
A Big Congrats to Richie Owens for great ride and podium!!

the dude had.very limited test time /experience on the bike.
awesome ride !

Any video of the 2 stroke race?
What bikes were the respective riders on (RM250, 250SX, CR500AF, etc)?
Is the track going to be changed at all for tomorrow's national?

* This thread is useless without pics of the AF500 throwing out massive amounts of roost all over the place.

not GH.. but roost anyway..lol click photo to see more roost..

I wonder how fast you could go around that Talledega first turn on a 500...

Tapia was the 1st to huck the big step-up, on an 05' KX250. The top 3 didn't jump it.

Dubach, Pingree, and a couple of others that I didn't recognize, jumped it too.

well sam,, i've been there recently and thats a scary fast turn..

it was big, open, loamy (that day) with some big berms to rail..
(actually several line choices)
ther ewas nothing but your own confidence to slow you down---
i was having more problems with the corner afterwards
as after going tthru talladega *decently* i was coming into that next one
(also nice big berm) way faster than i was comfortable with LOL.
and kept not transitioning into it as smoothly or on the gas as hard as i liked to have..


honestly i'm sure any decent pro can completely rail it in 4th or 5th.
as well as the next corner in one long fluid motion..


it is a fun track, i loved it.
just wish i could ride..lol

4th - 6th were doin it tapia, brozovich, dubach........bitchin race....you could really tell 250 2-st struggled on the hills and sand compared to 450's

I would imagine the 250-2's were pulling the hills about like the 250F's were, correct?

the race was cool


dunnn where are you guys hanging out it would be nice to meet up and thank you for all my crf parts

I bet there isn't a single 250F on the gate pushing under 40hp.

And Albee was out there? Fucking awesome!

looked very similar with less shifts on the 4-st...........250 2-st 50 hp - 250f 45 hp.......four stroke has more torque and thats where you notice it the most

all over actually.........and you?.....how about tomorrow?

We have a spot on REM hill by the FOX rigs

and will be hangin out in the lower pits as well at the parking spot space 82

so mostly up in the REM parking area or where the step up step down section is

i have some PRO-x MucOff passes so I am sure we will be spending some time in their hospitality area as well

i will send you my number again
