Surratt bringing putting the fun back in as well! This could start a huge trend. 3 2 strokes in the 450 class!

Awesome. He has some ride videos on 2 strokes so I'm sure he'll be on the pipe

Better hope not to many more 2 strokes get entered in the 450 class or else they will have a media blackout on the race.

I seriously wonder what the AMA would do, if there got to be say 10-15 250 2 strokes in the moto’s. Obviously they can do it with the right rider

What if fifteen 250 2-strokes did in fact show up. What do you think the AMA should do at that point?

Ahhh and they all qualified? I think manufactures would have a heart attack as well as the ama. They don’t want 2 strokes it’s obvious. Aldredge was running top 10 barely a mention of him.

Agreed!
Top 2 stroke finisher award At every round would be awesome as well.

According to the list only the KTM and Husky are legal. That said didn't they let a YZ or two race in recent years?

I think the rules are they have to sell 500 units in US right? If I remember correctly Henry Miller was set to race a YZ250 at Millville last year but couldn't because of homologation rules. Don't think Yamaha sells 500 250s in a year. TM certainly doesn't.

If 15-20 2 strokes show up how many times will the top guys on 450s lap the field?

I thought Yamaha didn't pay $3000 to have a homo bike so no YZ 2 strokes in the pros

He is smart moving to the 450 class, less depth so he should get a decent result.

If its homoligated go for it. USADA will pull you out of the ring eventually anyway

There’s only 40 gates. Do you think him deciding to race will add a 41st gate?

Cody Gragg had a decent run at Budds Creek in the mud a few years ago on a YZ250. Maybe those bikes were homo'd then.

RIP Cody.
