As most of you know Husky is sponsoring the final round of three at Glen Helen where there will be a 125 pro race. Husky is coughing up 10 2013 CR125's (CR144's?) to be entered by members of their offroad team, select editors, and selected pro's. It appears that there is only a 125 race at the final round at Glen Helen on April 7. The first round kicked off last weekend at "The Ranch" in Anza, CA. It appears that California Pro Chris See competed on a Husky, presumably a 144, against all the 250's and faired well. THE RANCH RESULTS: MTA TWO-STROKE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND ONE 1. Mike Sleeter (KTM).............1-1 2. Doug Dubach (Yam)............2-2 3. Austin Squires (Hon)...........3-3 4. Richi Gilmore (Hon).............5-4 5. Austen Scroggins (KTM).....5-6 6.

The MXA wrecking crew has started testing the 2013 Husqvarna CR125 (shown hereat Piru MX Park). Once we run it through the complete test cycle as a 125, we are going to build a full-race project bike, using the 144 kit, for the World Two-Stroke Championships on April 7. MXA will field a large team for the 125 Pro class—including a Husky CR144, Yamaha YZ125 and KTM 125SX for Dennis Stapleton, Trent Pugmire and Daryl Eklund. It appears this entry will be in addition to the 10 bikes that Husky is fielding. http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/MOTOCROSS-ACTIONS-WEEKEND-NEWS-ROUNDUP-I-DID-NOT-S-9866.aspx About 1/3 way down.
niiiiice. the best MX day of life was at the Marty Tripes vintage weekend on the carlsbad track at the ranch on my sons....1997 RM125. 125s are soooo much fun. cant wait for all viddys from this event!!!
Here's the skinny on the final. Awesome, a Husky won the 125 pro challenge! http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/2013-MTA-WORLD-TWOSTROKE-CHAMPIONSHIP-BIG-PAYDAYS-9972.aspx
Oh man MXA!! Cmon guys!! OK they are the Orange helmet group, so they do have history of using that color. (Stapleton)
their bikes were looking and sounding awesome...rippers! braaaap! that one had that factory BARK to it. man. what a day im still stoked...
Man I would have loved to have been there to hear that sweet sound! I saved a video of Darryn Durham on a 125 (wrong CR) with only the 125 music playing because it sounds so good. I have never had a chance to hear more than 2/3 125's on a MX track at the same time and they really weren't screaming them except in a few sections. It had to be quite a sight and sound. Thanks for the report .
high compression and race gas I raced the 125 dream race at Washougal last summer, sounded like a symphony of chain saws. The smell was glorious as well
