The legendary sound of the 2 stroke engine will once again be featured at the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. MX Sports Pro Racing, in cooperation with FMF, an industry leader in motocross and off road exhaust systems, presents the inaugural FMF 2-Stroke Invitational series, which will be held in conjunction with selected rounds of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.

The 2-Stroke races will be held at four events over the course of the summer: RedBud, Spring Creek, Unadilla, and Budds Creek. Each race will utilize a one moto format and any and every 2-stroke motorcycle is eligible to compete, including all displacements ranging from 125cc to 500cc.

"MX Sports Pro Racing recognizes both the tradition of the 2-Stroke as well as the unique sound that so many motocross fans have long associated with, and we are very excited about these events," said Nick McCabe of MX Sports Pro Racing. "The FMF 2-Stroke Invitational will certainly be a fan favorite, and something all-new for 2009 at these specific events."

MX Sports Pro Racing and FMF are also issuing a call out to all former past champions and legends who wish to take to the track again and compete in these unique and fun events.

"2-strokes are easy to work on, inexpensive to own and a blast to ride," boasted FMF founder Don Emler. "FMF hasn't forgotten most of us ride because it puts a smile on our face. When the idea came along for the 2-Stroke invitational, FMF jumped at the opportunity to get back to the basics."

The 2-stroke invitational is a part of the Legends & Heroes tour that will travel with the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship throughout the 2009 season. The tour will feature vintage displays, photos and videos of motocross history as well as former motocross champions in attendance to greet the fans and sign autographs.

All four events of the 2-Stroke Invitational are by application and pre-entry only. Further Information regarding the FMF 2-Stroke Invitational is available at www.mxsportsproracing.com
