It's probably a mistake but there is a rider listed in the provisional entries on a Husqvarna TC250

178 Ronnie Ford Paducah, KY Husqvarna TC250

It would be cool to see him make the night show.

Just looked him up. Ronniefmx187 on Instagram. Seems like its true he is on a husky tc250 and will try to qualify at A1. Also noticed I think hes 43 years old so another reason to root for the dude!

Results from 2015 35+ vet class at LL's
37 Ronnie Ford Delta, MO 38 35 36 Hsq

I wonder if they made him do the RC Road to Supercross to get his license?

I'm voting for Ronnie! He's like a combination of John Dowd and Stankdog! He's gotta be nuts at 43 to be on that list. Midlife crisis maybe? I'm a fan already! I just want to know how he qualified to be there, unless he was fast a long time ago and grandfathered in. For example could Jeff Ward just sign up if he wanted to race?

While an impressive feat to attempt, lets hope he doesn't get hurt-sx tracks are no joke.

Does anyone know if the 2017 TC250 is approved for Supercross use? It seems like his Instagram has pics which look to be a 2016 model.

If he makes the night show they damn sure better give him some attention on the TV broadcast. Thats a feat to attempt at his age on a smoker.

This is cool and I started following the guy on Instagram to see how this unfolds but I'd be shocked if he made the night show.

A 43 yr old making the show on any bike would be a hell of a story. The two stroke factor just adds to it. Good luck Ronnie!

Cool story, I'm sure he's a nice guy. I was told I used to sponsor him when he raced BMX. His dad was friends with my rider rep. But that shit was ridiculous.

BMX Sponsorship?

I know someone who needs a little help.

Yes we 2 stroke fans need more million page threads. If the manufacturers see and hear us, well.... hopefully "the squeaky hinge gets the oil"!
