To my SoCal buddies, any teeth to the rumor of a World Two Stroke Championship practice race for 125's up @ The Ranch this weekend? I had heard/read Husky will be fielding some 125's (144's) this year.
Yep it's true. Feb 24th at The Ranch in Anza, CA. March 24th at Racetown in Adelanto, CA, and the final round at Glen Helen on April 7th. Husky is sponsoring a 125 Pro class at Glen Helen and will offer up 10 2013 CR144's. The chosen riders will get the bike for a month leading up to the race. The 10 riders will come from "Husky's offroad team, magazine test riders, and selected Pros". The displacement limit will be 150cc. I can't find anywhere that Husky is sponsoring anything at the first two rounds. They definately are doing the final round at Glen Helen. It's unclear whether or not they have offered bikes for the other two rounds, billed as "warm-up rounds". Man I hope they get some serious talent on those 144's and pull off the win. I'd love to see the look on Donn Maeda's face he's always talking trash and acting like Huskies are a joke. I'd like to roost him with my Husky! Edit: The press I find says they will field 10 "CR125's" Hopefully that is generic talk and they will take advantage of the 150 rule or it will be an orange tide..... http://www.glenhelen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=128&Itemid=512 Halfway down the report more info.... http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/MOTOCROSS-ACTIONS-MIDWEEK-REPORT-BY-JOHN-BASHER-22-9807.aspx
Thanks Marc! Man, it's tough here in SoCal. Races in Baja, races in Ocotillo and races just up the road @ The Ranch - what are we to do???
