I think more guys should do that. Especially outdoors. A potent 250 at the end of a 30 plus 2 much less tiring than a 450. And all the guys who crushed it on 250s and struggle on 450s should just accept they ride a 250f better.
.could big bore the 250 and make good power.

You can't ride a big bore 250 in the 450 class, the bike has to retain the stock bore and stroke to how the bike is homologated.

Worse starts...expensive to maintain...not a good idea...

Thanks guys! It was pretty cool to qualify out of the heat race! I’m just riding my AJE Motorsports 250 Practice bike as well.

Cole is my teammate, he was on his 450. Must’ve signed up under a 250, but definitely was on a 450!

The genie is out of the bottle. I am not sure it would make sense to try to slow the 450s down indoors.

Our sport is going to be going through a revolution in the coming years as electric moves in that will be similar to when the conversion was made to 4 strokes.

Instead of trying to make the electrics competitive with 450s make them comparable to the 250 ice powered machines.

Change the premiere class to production based 250s. Allow factory suspension.

As much as many of us want it, the 125 aren't coming back. So make what is now the 250 class a class with stricter limitations to lower the cost. Off the shelf auspension. Maybe allow sleeved down or over bored two strokes with a 200cc limit. Have strict limits on modifications and a realistic claiming rule. Privateers would be on a much more level field. Put a restrictor on either intake or exhaust. This would make for simple adjustments to keep things slowed down/affordable.

Then feed the electrics in with careful monitoring to keep them competitive without an advantage or disadvantage.

There were certainly mistakes made in the 4 stroke revolution. Hopefully those in a position to do so will be more careful as our sport goes through another huge change and plan it to improve safety, increased levels of competition and affordability.

Hi Justin,
For you how was the 250 through the sand section, did the lack of power actually hurt you there?
Great ride Btw.

Last time I looked at the AMA rules, you could bore out an engine within the limit of the particular class ( using freely available parts only) , but Not change the stroke.

Are there different rules between the Nationals and Felds Circus?
