    I spoke with Rick on these issues as well, and I can tell you your cylinder is not legal for this class. If you think you need a bigbore to win, look for a stock cylinder thats sleeved like all the other entrants. You and I both know that bringing an ESR or Pro-X bigbore cylinder into the general class is not going to work. Considering that Jason Hall is running that very same engine in Open with no issues running with the 500's. My suggestion to you would be to buy a drag pipe and a stretched swinger and run open, or throw on a stock cylinder and run general. Either way, if you show up with a Pro-X cylinder don't expect to run in the general class.

    Dale, bring that 500 on into General. I'd like to see how you do. I think you'll have your hands full of all sorts of small bores!!

    well im planning on running my 310 in the unlimited class now. I have a pipe and swinger already for it, just needs some engine work. Will the hondaline 300 kits be aloud in the general class? i dont think they will but its worth askin.

    Rule additions or editings are posted in red. Sorry I was not more descriptive about the jug before. I assumed everyone would know original would mean OEM (original equipment manufacture)

    Some slight rule changes may still take place based on logical input. The addition of cam 2 and turbo blue were added because you can actually purchase them at the pump. Ignore the 87 octane max rule as far as these fuels are concerned. Sorry for some of the confusion guys. Please bear with me.

    OEM, but not from other machines. IE, no Yamaha YZ250 cylinder on a Tri-Z, or Kawasaki KX250 cylinder on a tecate, etc. Stock OEM type, not from other models even if its made by the same manufacturer.

    No restrictions as far as suspension goes. Alot of guys run aftermarket suspensions.
