Does anyone have any info on the KX 500's that Richie Owens and Scott Sheak ran at the Mammoth Motocross. What year bikes were they? How they were set up (suspension, motor mods)? How about the story on why they they picked the big "outdated" KX's over late model four-strokes... Future plans for motocrossing racing the KX 500's?

My guess is the KX500 motor is awesome at high altitude and doesn't loose power like a 125 or 250.
