what do you guys see on MX tracks around the country?

is anyone racing modified stock bore EX's? & if so, how are they doing?

or is everyone running 416's & 440's on the MX track?

there is a guy I heard of that practices here at the Seaford Speedway that kills on a modified (cam, piston, pipe, etc.)but not bored out 400EX... not even any suspesion upgrades either... I think he just reversed his front wheels and has a steering stabalizer.

You don't really need anymore power out of an EX on most MX tracks if you can do some quick shifting. As for the guy killing everyone, thats called a good rider[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

ltracerx is right. There's a guy that races ATV Exp. at our track with a stock motor'd 400. He can run hang with the faster guys on the track, and his 400 even has the STOCK PIPE, with the baffle.

Seaford is pretty nice

it is huge...

3 laps around that and I'm hurtin'

there are plenty of doubles, of all sizes... the biggest is 90' crest to crest, probably 15'-18' high!

there are to HUGE tabletops

not really any open stretches though... just jump after jump

it was originally designed for dirtbikes only, so it's not that wide...

but they maintain it well
