WAY PAST TIME FOR EQUAL DISPLACEMENT RACING. Every track in District 17 and 18 run all the 250s together. Also all amateur nationals run equal displacements in their classes.

Totally agreed 250 2 stroke should be allowed in 250 pro classes. Both outdoors and super cross. Would be awesome for the sport. There are some really good riders out there that can’t financially compete in the 4t world, but could compete with a 2t

250 v 250 already exists in amateur racing. Most will choose 4T because that's what the factories race. Some will always pick the smoker for price and ease of repair.

Of course, I support this, any logical person does. Bring on the smoke!

250 2t vs 250 4t needs to happen at the pro level around the world. There's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be allowed.

The four strokes have come so far in terms of technology that the double displacement rule is antiquated and has been for a long time.

The guys running 2 strokes aren't magically just going to run away from the competition.

Honda probably wouldn't like it, but WGAF!

Looking forward to seeing Stankdog running 2 strokes in SX.

Graphics on both bikes look awesome. Great info... figured Ping would be faster on the YZ over the YZF... he has history with the 2 strokes and based on his riding style is more aggressive. Bring it on... line the 2 strokes up! Big Red will have their say!
