Look Daves is a hard worker but he's not God. And I know how to push his buttons but I have no reason to. Lol

More likely the money is more motivation than doing it all for us. Not a negative on him by the way, just reality and human nature.

DC does deserve big props for the way he runs the outdoors!

With that being said....we ( as in the American Nationals ) are falling behind a little here with not having a 125 class. It's the most important stepping stone mx class there is , for kids stepping up from the 85cc/ super mini class. Instead they hop right on a modded 45 - 50hp 250F.

We need this class and as far as I'm concerned , and getting rid of it at a national level was a crime against this sport!

These fast kids need to get there feet wet in front of thousands of people on machines they are some what familar with. Just my $.02.

If it was all about the money, I think he would spring for a flunky to pick up trash and hammer stakes. Even as few races as I have been to, I've seen DC doing the dirty work at most all of them to make it a better show. Not a guy just doing it for the money.

Don't get me started on a 125 National class though. Sad

Jeffro stole all that 125 jibberish from me. After all, according to many here, I was the ONLY one complaining about it for years. Laughing

I don't follow the big amateur stuff as much as some, but didn't they add a couple of 125 classes to the AMA Amateurs? That's the real place for them if we're thinking of it as a stepping stone. I don't think any of the riders are finishing Ams on an 85 and jumping straight to the Pro Nats or SX/AX on a 250F, are they?

Don't get me wrong, from a spectator standpoint I'd love to see a 125 class at the Nats, but the stepping stone deal seems like it's already been covered by MXSports and the AMA in some respects.

You don't think the 125 class decision has anything to do with money?

Not at a " Real national " level. I'm talking about having them run on the national track the same weekend or same day as the pro's. A full 6 races series or something like that. Not just some one off event like LL's. Huge difference here.

The GP's have figured this out and realize how important this class is. This isn't a 2 stroke rant....it is a plea to bring back the most important stepping stone class ever created , and put them on the big stage.

Back in the day all the kids use to go to 125 and 250cc straight from superminis. All the top/middle class kids did. What is the difference? When I was racing in the 90s that was typical and didn't seem to present any problem.

As a fan I'd like to see that class too, but the moving up thing doesn't really apply. I think the 85cc class ends at 14 or so? Then a slightly larger Super Mini or a 125 for 2 years, even if you wait to move up?

I'm all for the 125 Pro class, just think that the "transition" thing has been addressed pretty well by MXSports.

I just don't see how having a 125 national class helps do anything but water down the 250f class. I think a 125 class would be full of sandbaggers who are more than capable of riding a 250f. And logistically speaking, I doubt Davey wants to take on any more.

I think any 16 year old who can earn a pro license, can ride a 250F just fine. Unless, the 125 class is replacing the 250F class, it just doesn't make much sense.

now, for what it's worth, I'm all for getting rid of 4 strokes completely, at any level, because I completely disagree with them philosophically, but I'm not delusional (I'm not not saying your delusional Jeffro)

edit: I misunderstood. You we're talking about running an amateur event along side of that, but in that case, I'll refer to my logistics comment above.

I feel like there's been a ton of new guys around here that make it to about 40-50 posts and then they're gone. You have to wonder how many of them are actually new. I don't know, might just order a pizza, doesn't matter.

Yeah they aint new. Multiple accounts. Pretty sure that guy used to go by the name Cigaro. Complete bullshitter who quit riding the 125 beginner class in like 88'. Looks like the pilsbury dough boy. Very bitter little man.

And yes , i was getting at wanting a 125 AM class on Nationals day for a limited amount of Races. Just like what the GP's do. It's big over there and seems to be very popular.

I never intended anyone to think i was pushing for a 125 pro class.
