I was told it was an Athena Kit. I asked if anyone saw that ESR guy and no one found him. Alessi tried to contact him after he put up that big bonuses if you raced one of his bikes and he said he wouldn’t answer their calls/never called back.
That's pretty shitty..

I raced the +30 intermediate class. Moto 17 or 17 the track was un real rough. Haven’t ridden a 2 smoke in over 18 years. I took a few days of vacation from work to build my bike this past week.

Wageman's style is something to behold. It was like art on that rough track. Alessi looked good (as anyone should expect), but trashed his rear wheel in the first moto. Bell was catching the front little by little then just rolled off the track. Someone later said "his carb fell off", to which I laughed, because who knows how possible that scenario is... So not sure what really happened.

My slow ass went 16-16 in +30 Novice, but I had a blast! Roughest track I've ever ridden (and I've ridden GH plenty). Learned a bit every time I was out there and felt like I started to put things together at the end of the day. It just made me want to ride that track more!

Such a cool day. Record breaking turn out and huge gates for most of the SEVENTEEN races. Nothing but 2 stroke sound. I hope some Suzuki reps were there paying attention...

Dude, the guy that won your class was a sand bagger!! He was turning top 3 30 intermediate lap times! I can’t believe they didn’t do anything about it. He was like 5-10 seconds a lap faster than 2nd

Haha I honestly don't even let it get to me... That's every race. Even when "One Day" guys sign up for OTHG races (non members), almost all of them are down a class from where they should be.

I'm just out there to have fun and dice with the guys around me, whether that's the front or back of the pack. Cool

I went 8-4 for 4th overall in 125 novice, made a few mistakes and lost a few spots, was third most of moto 2, haven’t raced a big race in about 12 years, and after racing 4 strokes always, and now racing all 125s, fuck four strokes!!!! It was so sick! We need more of these races. So many people showed up, it was like a mini national!!

I can’t express how fun this event is, and how cool it was to watch the pro class, shoemaker and Justin hoeft were murdering the track in their 125s, And the open pro class....dude, honestly a series like this could replace the ama nationals if you got enough top guys to show up, fuck supercross too yesterday was way too sick!

After 2 turn tip overs and a stall. it was tough in the short motos have a good finish. This event is so much fun no matter the results. Seemed like every race had battles all the way back in the pack. All the pros in each class were fighting for every position. I'm ready for more 2stroke only races. Track was rough but in a 2stroke way.

F1prerun - nice CR you got there! Is it Polisport plastics on a 06-07?

PS. Isn't there a way to reply without re-posting the pictures?

Not what he was doing at all. He was all in and on site and he even provided Carlen Gardner with the bike that he was racing. He wasn't near his office phone at the end of the week obviously with traveling to the event and being there on Friday as he said in the bonus announcement. They were there and that #805 seemed to be running pretty good. It's definitely not fair to start attacking them.

Its how it is today, throw shit on the wall and see what sticks, also notice that anyone saying crap wont man up for being wrong. Actually funny and sad. There are a few with credability though.

Did PC or FMF, DEP, Bills, Gore, Athena, Morgan or any other vendor have any bikes out there? Would have thought FMF with Albertson would have been well received

Coty schock deserves some recognition, hell of a rider. Same class as cooper and hartraft in the amateurs, he could be on their level with the right support

Nice. Brought back some memories from when I rode the track in 2015. Can tell the hills are steep when a 250 2 stroke looks like its struggling.

1:40 was close.

It’s like when RC wins the premier SX title on a two stroke in 05, and the next year every writes them off as not competitive.

What are the significant technological advantages that KTM/Husky 2 strokes have over Japanese 250s?

As I said over the older bikes such as fuel injection, modern suspension, modern chassis, modern power valve systems, availability of parts ...unless are you implying a 2007 CR250R/RM250/KX250 will compete on par with a 2019 KTM250SX?
