good luck DV, and good luck cedric!- there will be thousands of people routing for you at each stadium, itll be music to my ears having a 2 stroke back at the races!
It's a cute experiment, but he's gonna struggle and barely be noticed. A majority of the people in the stands aren't knowledgeable of the sport. The whole "he has a really high number so he must suck" crowd. Die hards (or even two stroke die hards) make up a very, very small amount of the people in attendance at SX races. For example, I sat in front of a guy at Jax last year that asked me why RC wasn't racing.

So true, ask Dave JONES !
if the tracks were 2 stroke friendy then Cedric would make short work of the 4 strokes and viceversa
Here's Phoenix 2005 (Last Year for Factory Supported "A" list Pros on 2 strokes) - http://amapromail.com/pdfresults/sx/2005/02-phoenix/trackmap.pdf
Here's Phoenix 2007 (This is the height of the 4 Stroke Hype Era when NO ONE was on a 2 stroke) - http://amapromail.com/pdfresults/sx/2007/02-phoenix/trackmap.pdf
Both of these Phoenix Tracks are at the Bank One/Chase Field Ballpark, so the playing field's dimensions are the same.
Notice how much shorter, and less complex in every way, the track is....
The tracks have been dumbed down and shortened in MANY cases to be more FOOPER friendly...
So when you see the shorter, supposedly "Faster" lap times just remember that when a track is 40% shorter it's really no big accomplishment.

I do agree with mxknowitall , I'm pretty sure half the spectators aren't sure if they are going to a monster truck deal , an SX or a tractor pull 'till they get there. They just know there will be dirt and noise.

This thread is about 22 or 23 hours old, not a few days old as Burn stated above...
In that time, it has gathered well over 100 replies and over 6,000 views! People are more interested in this than they are in any of the recent topics on this forum, other than maybe "Ken Roczen in Ca."... which has just a couple more views.
What's that say about Pro Racing as of late? It says, "Something's Fuched Up".
Lots of people are bored with Marketing Department mandated Lawnmowercross Racing!
The current racing isn't quite as good and exciting as it was before, and people have had enough! The field has held nothing but 4 stroke bikes for years now, but it's not that way for the right reasons and that's obvious to everyone....
Team Motoconcepts effort represents the first demonstration of truth to hit pro racing since it became a Marketing Department snow job in 2006, and I have a feeling that many many people everywhere will be thanking you for your efforts for a long time to come!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Perhaps 2011 will be known as " The Year Of The Two-Stroke " and those that
dismiss the new 2 smoke revolution will be swept up by the vigorous hype and
hubbub - finding themselves frying up Bel-Ray at 40: 1 in their naughty wife's
favorite wok, while nobody's home because they've gone to Aunt Judy's house
instead of a real vacation - because 4 stroke-guy blew his 450 motor and, has
to buy $2600 worth of metal parts for his exploding contraption....
Buwwwhaaahaaaa......BRAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP. GO CEDRIC ZEE ENTERTAINER !!!
all this adds up to the new track lower lap times and 4 strokes being gay
That's 1/3 less area- No wonder the lap times are so short
Edit
And with scottys note on the number of turns/angle- - you boys have really pointed out some qualifiable evidence of track changes- -
