65 class bikes, 7-11 age group, my son Rayce would like to come and run as well, he runs the nma , gnc ,approved fourstroke , fisrt legal in the 65cc class.
pitbikes are suppose to be air cooled 4 strokes..
4strokes only
however, my buddy has a sweeet suzuki ds80..
it would be pretty funny to see a bunch of dudes running those and like pw80s and the old kdx 80s..

Pros.
- More families will show up
- More people will have a good time
- More money will be made
- Keeps the the smokers alive
- Better for the sport altogether
65s are minis too.....
because it is a pitbike race and IMO in the past kids could take part but they rode pitbikes.
I don't want the kids complaining about the track.
Not trying to stir up an argument, but whats a Factory BBR bike? Most certainly not a "pit bike". BBRs and LXRs are just as much motocross bikes as 65s are IMO. If we can add one more class to this event, why not? The more the merrier. Just my point of view.Originally Posted by Staggs Racing
What about a class for like pw 80's? Lol
Keep the opinions rolling. And vote so we can see a real number of people that are for it or against it. Thanks

Sorry but IMO this is a pitbike event and that is why dirty has the other series going on cause it has all motocross classes. Might as well bring my rmz250 down and race this event also then.
As much as i think its good to include everyone, i have to say keep them seperated.
adults on 2 strokes would be a class. i wouldnt mind watching. but its going to fill the stadium with smoke!
I have a KX65 and a small wheeled KX100 myself. I would absolutely LOVE to see a stroker class at the SX! In addition, I'd like to see "Adult Mini" classes consisting of 100cc two stroke, and 150cc four stroke MX bikes at the big bike races.
As far as the two stroke MXers being competitive with the built four strokes on pit bike tracks? It'll be tough with an adult on it. I've raced my 65 in an experimental fashion at our local pit bike races, and here's what I found.... Unless the track has longer straightaways where the strokers' top end can make up for the lack of low end that it has out of turns-- it's no advantage, more of a disadvantage if anything. On longer, faster tracks with bermed turns-- it's alot better. If everyone is on the strokers-- it would be a great thing as long as the kids aren't allowed to race their 65's. Make it 16+.
If this were to happen, we'd start to see some development with the 65/85 two strokes as pit bikes. The benefit would be the low cost bikes that would be available. They wouldn't make the 4 strokes a thing of the past, they would just add an option for guys that may have a 60/65/85/100 collecting dust in their garage. I think it's about time. Get 'er done Gary!!
an lxr with full linkage tuned race bike is FAR from a pitbike if you ask me
a true pitbike in my opinion is stock mini racing, not a hopped up 20+ horse power professional race bike with slightly smaller wheels and frame
but at the same time a 50cc 2 stroke is going to mop the floor with a 50cc 4 stroke
All good opinions. Thanks guy's keep em rolling!! And don't forget to hit the poll.
Refer to MBR, their 65 class had a great turn out in that summer series. 65s are by no means considered a pit bike but since they're still minis, and the track would suite them well, why waste a stacked class just cus their not mini 4 strokes. The 65 class in the MBR series was a lot of fun to watch how competative those kids got. I didnt feel they harmed the series in any way.
i liked the 150r class idea but maybe ad in some 2smoke 85's
2 stroke classes is a good thing to add for kids classes, you get more bikes, parents end up bring those pit bikes with to ride themself and that way you grow the sport, those little ones end up wanting a pit bike and there again you got the sport to grow.
