    I understand that Kelly, that's why I said "local" tracks. Talent trumps machine in almost every situation. But Ajax hit the nail on the head. If 2 stroke displacement and 4 stroke displacement rules were equal in AMA.... wanna bet me on what "stroke" the winners would be riding?

    A 2t MX racer Husky? ... that would be a surprise and I'd really like to see it :) .. Maybe somehow a trail model and MX model can be joined closely enough that it makes sense on a business level to build both ... 250cc \ 300cc engines maybe can also be included into this scenario ... This would lay down some base roots for the next ~decade for 2T machines. You'd think bmw can supply enough grunt to help Husky make a very good EFI 2T on its 1st attempt...

    ---------------------

    Or even behind a starting gate ....

    Take ktm as an example (look how they tossed a < 450cc machine into the top level against 450 bikes ) ... They have won on about every level, every race world wide ... maybe they'll give the MX 2T machines the push they need in a couple yrs IFF the EFI stuff works out to a high level and is a $$ maker ...Any 10 top finish on a 2T would be more than enough to make everyone sit up & notice and then consider purchasing a 2T ... It'll be like back-to-the-past ... Lots of grasshoppers out there who have never ridden a 2T might have a reason to consider one when they see it thumping the 4T machines ...Stew would be the ultimate guy to ride it also ... He's had such an all-over-the-place-career, in 2-3 yrs, who knows whats next for him ...

    Husky could do the same but we can't even get our 4T machines to finish an MX race for some reason :( ... What would be wrong with a 4T 310 MX racer?...

    That is true at the top level BUT If I was a new buyer and saw that a Husky 4 Stroke has so many DNFs
    I might just keep looking.BUT on the other hand look at all the European Enduros and tuff man events were the Husky 2 stroke did well.
    PLUS how many 4 strokes DNF the 6 days compaired to the 2 strokes
    Never hear of a 2 stroke with a fuel pump,injectors or mapping problem
    Time for a change before everyone in off road riding is on orange and it looks like the first day of hunting season when you show up at a race
