Than why don't all the 250 guys ride 125's if they would be faster on them?super rat said:125's=Corner speed=fast laps

Daytona was a WIDE open track as far as SX is concerned. IMO the more wide open the track the faster Bubba is. The other SX tracks this year have been FAR more tight and by your assesment more adventagous to good corner speed, yet Daytona, the most open SX track was the first race where a 125 had the fastest lap time. With out the exit acceleration of the 250 the 125's have had to be substaintially faster just to be close to the 250's times on a tight course.
125=half the displacement=half the exit acceleration=slower lap times (minus the Bubba factor)
he does things on a bike that make you question what that Newton fellow had to say about gravity.
We will see when he moves up if he has the heart to beat RC for a MX title, till then it's just alot of talk.

Interesting question. Overboring (to reach displacement) is allowed, but I'm thinking the homologation thing would stop anyone from riding a 125 in the 250 class.
Could you imagine the uproar?
Perhaps with some creative rules interpretation . . . .
That race in Europe that you speak of.... Who had the fastet lap time and what were they riding? Who actually won the race? And by what margin did he win?super rat said:There once was this guy who went by the name O'show........ I think he put down some pretty fast lap times on a 125 at this BIG race in europe..... It was a HP track big hills and what not.... Nothing new with what Bubbas doing, Sorry. I get a kick out of guys who think that you go faster on a bigger bike, at our level especially.
Good call Ivan :thumb: :truespode said:If I remember correctly Bubba had the fastest lap time last year at Budd's Creek.
