Uh oh :eek:
Why do you race a 125 class bike in the 250 class?
1) Those are the rules with JMX. They are not AMA sanctioned but do follow most of the AMA rules. This just happens to be one they don't.
2) It is safer. The 125D class is a kamikaze class. I'd run the 250D class even if I had to bore out the F to qualify :)
How do/will you have the energy to race after riding all day?
That is why I'm not for sure yet. However, it is a night race and if I hydrate well and the stars are aligned right it may work out :)
What series are you racing and what other tracks do you race at?(maybe I'll talk to you more about this on Saturday)

They have 3 tracks but most of them are all at the Shelby Fairgrounds.
What is this hardware you speak of (trophies, sponsor stuff, or might you get a factory ride LOL)??
Year end awards are usually a set of tires, a jacket or something like that. They trophy 7 places usually... actually they are plaques.
What is this other track like?
Parker Valley is about the size of TNT (maybe a little shorter) and is really good dirt and almost all table-tops (I think there is only one double, double, double section) and no whoops.
Shelby is mostly tabletops, only one double and a stepup. Long, really long whoops section. Really tight track.
Top Gun... never been there so I don't know but Joe says he cuts out the big stuff and leaves it with mostly tabletops and only one double.
I have to say that I am oddly interested.
And I'm quite odd :)
Come race with me. I'll only do the 250D class. I usually run 2 classes but after riding all day I doubt I'll be able to.
The laps are usually 3 for the heat race and 5 (sometimes 6) for the main.
