I hope that they would not do that and see the light. But then.......(this is where i have to stop myself from gettin into trouble

.)

  I can say this much I would raise holy hell if they tried to do it that way, but my voice in that matter would not probably do alot of good. I do know one thing for sure, You can expect to see the return of the
"Battle of the Big Boars" next season when things fall into place..

Of course at the rate things are developing, or not in the case of the CR & KX, the new 500 nationals may be pure four-stroke by default.  

Maico is the only other bike maker producing a full 500 oil-burner, yet nobody is running a SC500 in the world 500cc championship series.  Guess that doesn't say much for their product.  

I'm partial to the old-school open class, but it should be an interesting series regardless of engine configuration.  

I can't wait to see how the Honda 400 will do in the 250 nationals (if that pans out).  <p align=right>04-18-2000 :Edited

Just bring the open class back, period end of story.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is really a shame that a few have prevented us from seeing some of the sports greatest riders on these beasts of machines.&nbsp;&nbsp;I really don't care for the 4 strokes being in the class, however, if that is what it takes to bring it back then by all means lets hear a little low end grunt.

Hey Bisquit,
&nbsp;&nbsp; You might be able to help me out a little, seeing as how we live on the same side of town.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you know where the Loganville practice track is located?&nbsp;&nbsp;I went there eons ago and now I can't find it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I remember it was down a road off of hwy29 - the entrance to the track has a huge cement block with a black X painted on the front.&nbsp;&nbsp;The track is (was) very sandy.
&nbsp;&nbsp; I tried looking for it last Saturday and finally gave up and went to Lanier.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kawboy, I know what you mean, the first time I tried to find Loganville I wound up riding around all day, thus finally giving up and going to some local trails that I know.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, to answer your question, the easiest way, that I know of, is to go out I-20 to Turner Hill rd., where Outdoor Powersports use to be before they moved, and turn left back across the bridge.&nbsp;&nbsp;Follow Turner Hill to Pleasant Hill Rd. and take a right.&nbsp;&nbsp;This will take you to the track, approximately 8-10 miles, just past the river on the left.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Should you still have problems locating the track call Southern Sand & Stone (770) 466-8666, the company is next door to the track and BTW they own the track.&nbsp;&nbsp;I also have not been out there in a while, however, the last time they had not groomed the track and thus the track was somewhat rutted and the face of the jumps left allot to be desired.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope that things have gotten better out there as I had planned on going next weekend, if I can get a new bike by then as I just sold my YZ250.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me know the next time that your going out there, just shoot me an email @ john.melvin@suntrust.com.&nbsp;&nbsp;See you out there!
