Louisville was completely dominated by 4 strokes in all full sized
classes. There didn't seem to be more than four or five 2 strokes
total.

One thing I did notice. the Louisville arena is small. I can't imagine
would it would be like in there after a night of racing a full house of
2 strokes. As it was it caused the wive's eyes to burn a little bit
(mostly the little mini classes). That may the only real plus to the
extra cycles.

Actually that doesn't surprise me at all, it would be surprising to see
many 2s 125 bikes nowadays. What surprises me is seeing guys on 450s in
arenacross. It just doesn't make sense.

PS: I was surprised when I spoke to Darcy Lange a couple of months ago
shortly after his win on the 250 class (won every event that day). I had
asked him how he liked his 450 four banger. He laughed and said he was
on a 250f (this after the 250 main event). Astonished I said back "and
you still managed to beat all those guys on 250s and 450s??"

Yep, the guy is that good.
