...that KTM did not homologate the 250sx two stroke and this kid can't ride one at the nationals. This is from Sunday at a D3 race on the U2 track. Blizz flat out hauls.....hopefully this link works, if not someone who knows how to do this stuff please fix it.,...

The Shop
is it a 2012 250SX or something else
if it is the 2012 than that is a bunch of shit
Spergen yup that is how its done around here. Expert classes get 6, maybe 8 laps. Its a joke.....
KTM needs to step it up and race a 250SX alongside the 450 with Dungey. I mean you wouldn't want to put anyone faster than the Dunge on the 250 cause that would just be embarrassing if he were beat, but why not someone like this guy? Someone who can put the 250SX in the top 15 and give something for moto fans who love two strokes to cheer for.
I'll never understand the pro moto scene, too secretive, too tied around the nuts of the big 4, too much BS. It is just a bummer because moto could be so sick with four strokes racing two strokes, but as with everything in this world, $$$>everything else.
Try writing a letter to KTM North America, Stating your intentions to race in X no of Nationals this year and would they look at addressing the issue homologation, and if not why not. For the sum off $3000 its probably the cheapest advertising cost ever to promote the 250sx, Just look at Renner in the SX ! Unless you try you never know.
WOW that is a joke Huckster, just went on to my local tracks website and got this for you, Even the kids race longer than you !

As for the laps/time, it is a big reason why a lot of people have become professional practice racers. A race day around here consist of 12+hrs to ride 16 laps and that is if you race 2 classes and they don't cut the laps for the 2nd motos which happens often.....
I love that track......except for the time I stuck a handlebar into one of those haybales in a corner.
Also don't forget Team Green still has his project going with the yz 250.
It's sad but very obviously true.

I may have to call them today to see why they haven't homologated the 125 and 250 SXs
Here's MXA's list.

The real question is whether the issue with the 250SX was an act of omission or commission. You only have to submit homologation once every 5 years, and the 250SX previous homologation was good through last year. They might have just forgotten about it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as pro-2 stroke as anyone, but I'm also a realist and know that no one is changing the order of things any time soon.
