The Washougal National is officially here and MXA's Trevor Nelson scoured the pits to meet the riders who are lining up in the 450 class tomorrow on 250 two-strokes. Carson Brown is a crowd favorite as he lives in the Pacific Northwest and he has raced a 250 two-stroke at this event the last few years. But he's going to be battling with Jerry Robin, Anthony Rodriguez, Matt Burkeen, Kevin Moranz and more money-hungry riders looking for their slice of the $25,000 that's up for grabs thanks to Moto Memes, Jettson Donuts, Motorsport, KTM, and Washougal for pitching in money for the top three placing two-stroke riders in the 450 class.

This has more potential than everyone realizes. I’ve struggled this year in all honestyto watch it with so many guys out. Why can’t there be a 2t championship within the premier championship? It would give so many more guys a chance and something to race for. Not to mention the publicity. Sounds like KTM stepped up for a few guys. I bet we would see a factory 250’s again if it was a 2 tier race within 1 race.

Not wrong dude, AMA are so backwards even making these guys enter the 450 class in Australia they changed the rules back in like 2014 and for the first few years the gates were full of 250 2 strokes in the 250 class with guys going racing, being competitive in the HP department without having to spend 10-20 grand on a race motor. Best thing to ever happen

That's obvious, they are a much closer match. With all the money and development in 4 strokes, I dont they can even take a chance on any 2 stroke finishing very high up. It doesnt fit the marketing. Obviously a 450 kills a 250 stroke. A properly developed 450 2 stroke could probably beat a 250 4 stroke.

@eric6rock Жыл бұрын

It’s a bummer they won’t permit 150 2t, 300 2t, or even 250 2t in its own class. However these media outlets should create a two stroke championship within the rounds of SX and MX just like how Pulp hosts the Privateer championship. It will create new opportunities for upcoming amateurs or Vets in the class, have best of both worlds 2 Stroke and 4 Stroke riders, make racing accessible again, and well the racing will be a lot more fun. Pretty much an Unofficial Class as the riders qualify in with the Two Strokes as Voluntarily. This is a beginning of a new era, and I’m all for it. Hopefully someone makes it happen. But for now let’s enjoy this One of a Kind Washougal Round 🤙

@Mr10usdad Жыл бұрын

The AMA did this! When four strokes came out with 400cc they were not competitive so the AMA upped it and let them race 450cc bikes. Now something should be done to accommodate 2 strokes to make them competitive. This will not happen because the fans do not matter. This is a manufacturer series so really its only purpose is to sell new bikes.
