Sometimes they would take the top few winners from the 125, 250 and open classes and stagger start them and go for a "Dash for Cash" or "King of the Hill" race, just a short race. 125s would get to start out front, followed by 250s and then 500s.

: JA when you raced moto did they have 2-4 lap
: "match races" depending on the
: length of the track I remember they did in
: our area,4 racers, used to see a variety of
: sizes of bikes and riders of classes
: intermediate and pros.Think they used to run
: them after the 1st moto.I thought it was
: kinda fun never won big $ on 1, it was a

: I'm not sure if it's legal to run a bored

: 251cc to 500cc (two strokes) for the 500
: class, but I don't know what the current AMA
: rules are on four strokes. The factories
: agreed to make them 450cc four strokes, but
: I don't know if the AMA changed the limits

: Of course, it is unlikely that the factories
: will let their factory sponsored riders (the
: fastest riders on the track) ride a bored
: 250 in the 450 class, because their intent
: is to sell 450s by racing and winning on
: them. A factory might sell a LOT more 250s
: if Villopoto beat Stewart with one, but it
: might cut into 450 sales just a tad if the
: public perceives that they don't need the
: power of a 450.
:
: I do believe the AMA and the FIM agreed on
: the rule that four strokes must take at
: least 10 kicks to start the engine after
: falling down, and so far all of the riders
: have adhered to that rule to the letter,
: even in non-AMA/FIM competition.

: It was interesting that the top 3 lap times
: of
: the day were on Lites bikes (250cc four
: strokes). Villopoto's best time was
: 2:07.997, Dungey was 2:08.145, Grant was
: 2:10.321 and the next best time to them was
: 450 rider Stewart, whose best time was
: 2:11.140.
:
: This means that if Villopoto had been in
: Stewart's class on his 250, he would have
: beaten Stewart in a 20 lap race by over a
: minute!
