Will the raptor be able to run in the four stroke class?

Whatever sanctioning body that makes the rules for your area will have to make a ruling. The AMA(I think) changed the rules allowing the DS to run in the open class(Please correct me if I'm wrong). Currently, I believe that the Raptor is over even that increase in displacement. Check at your local track.

If you are old enough to vote...YOU BETTER VOTE FOR BUSH. If Gore gets in office, his clean air legislation already has provisions to "reduce the harmful effects of the 2-stroke internal combustion engine on our environment". I don't own a 2-stroke but this is a stepping stone to shutting down all public lands to all ATVs. Why do you think Honda has not answered Yamaha's Banshee? They are still waiting to see what happens with the clean air legislation. California has already taken steps in this direction. Legally, this sets a president on which to build other, more wide sweeping legislation. Talk to everyone you know and get them to vote for Bush. Voting takes about 15 minutes of your time. The Democratic Party is about restricting your freedom to ride. Do yourself a favor and vote for Bush.
