He seems like a nice guy and quite a character, but rolling every jump in a triple is not going to get him in the show...

Way to be positive for an underdog. ;-)

By the way, he will not roll triples.

I am soo over with people who tells you what to do.

We just ask for a fair displacement, it's not like we will obligate you to ride one...

What everyone doesn't seem to get, is that if the ProAMA would just make it cc for cc racing in the pro ranks like they have in amateurs, there wouldn't be any of us posting anything about 2 strokes. If they still die, they still die, but atleast they fought a fair war. Plus I wouldn't have to be messing with this crazy idea of a motocross series that will keep me broke until I die.

They would not die in a cc for cc matchup. You must be a hell of a golfer.

I am so over people whining and bitching about the displacement. Get over it already. Let it go. Ride whatever bike you want and/or can afford and like it.

Good luck Mike and have fun.

Funny, let's take a look at who was whining and bitching in this post from the start. Hmmm, a 4 stroke lover who wants the 2 stroke to die. LOL

I talked to him about that, and he said he was fine. Damn it, why don't people ever listen to me. :-( Those domes are way different than the outside world. You have to run the bike way lean to get inside and run perfect.

If he did roll the triples it would be the smartest thing that he ever did. With you guys egging him on that might not be the case. All bullshit aside, he doesn't belong out there and I hope he doesn't hurt himself or someone else.

He seems like a nice guy and I wish him the best.

I was meaning, he rides supercross tracks and does triples. It isn't something he is not able to do.

If my calculations are correct, he only needs to be faster that three people to make the night show. The B and C practices are combined.

He stopped at two laps and was 26 seconds per lap off of the fastest lap.

I hope he isn't down somewhere.

It doesn't really matter if I have or haven't. This is a whole different level of racing and the tracks are not designed for average Joe who jumps shit at chickelicks raceway.

Take into account that he's not in good shape, weighs in at 285 and is on a two stroke?
What are some of you really thinking?

Like I have said, he sounds like a nice guy but he has no business out there and I hope he get's through today with out hurting himself or someone else.

I disagree. Equal displacement is not a level playing field. It wouldn't be hard to come up with an equal displacement that produces similar HP but that's what needs to be done.


This would only matter in the small bore class where HP is king. You could with a 500 or larger in the big bore class and it wouldn't matter because more power wouldn't be an advantage.


BTW: Jetting was always a problem in the stadiums with the two strokes.

i agree with you jmar, riding a supercoss track and racing on one is totally different. ive ridden supercross tracks alot, but would never sign up to race one.

I can show you multiple races, like LL A class, where they are toe to toe all race long.

So you really have no clue how he rides or what he's capable of doing on a dirtbike.

Yet you sit behind your keyboard in all your infinite minidad wisdom and decide who belongs out there and who doesn't.

He has earned enough AMA points to be out on the track.
While he may not make the night show,he has most certainly earned the right to try.
