Well what do you think? *Will they start race class' for the 4-strokes? *If so, do you think they will run them against the 2-strokes? Who would you put your money on? Reasons why?

I think that they will start a special race class for 4 strokes, but they won't start it for a couple years yet. *I think they will take the winners from the 4 stroke class and race them against the winners of the 2 stroke class. *As we speak, I think yamaha will actually win! *That's IF they have anyone racing for them! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Probably a open 1000 drag race class, for the Yammy and Cat 900 two stroke. There has been a past agreement to not have any stock class over 800. So yammy and arctic are on their own, as I doubt doo worry's about their v twin1000 for racing. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleeping.gif

1 litre 4-strokes and bigger actually make quite a bit of power once you start throwing some boost at them, porting the heads, messing with the cam timing, especailly turning over at 14000 rpm. * * and if you think about it, if you take a 4 stroke motorcycle engine and chop the heavy transmission off of it, that 4-stroke is not so heavy anymore. * * I cannot see them doing very well for a couple more years, but sooner or later someone is going to race them. So i guess we'll see

What kind of racing. *Endurance racing maybe. *LOL.

It would be a league for older people. *The nice quiet, clean smell of a 4 stroke wont give them lung cancer.

Good question zzzzzz!!

How about Sno-X or even ovals???

I heard rumors that the ISR was already trying to think of some rules for racing the 4-strokes.

I have to say after hearing an RX-1 the idea of 4 stokes being quite is out the window.
