Anybody race a harescramble on their 250?

I have a 250x which I've modified over to an R. Its got all the standard bolt ons. Was watching a harescramble helmet cam video of a park about 20 minutes from me who puts on a few a year and my girlfriend walks over and sais "honey why don't you do that?". Well that's a good question. I've never raced a dirt bike. Been riding a few years and have been to the motocross track a few times on my old yz426. I don't consider myself that great of a rider. Should I go for it? Is the 250r an ok bike for it?

I race the local harescrambles on my wr250r, it does alright unless the track is fast and sandy then the more powerfull bikes pull away from me.

They bumped me up to intermediate last year since I was 3rd overall the year before in the novice class and I skipped a race, but I was on a gasgas that year.

I was mid to back of the pack as an intermediate last year but I can/could win in the novice class, the bikes not to blame at all, thats how fast I go on any bike, im as strong as an oxe but not in that good of shape, I get tired if I go flat out for 1 1/2 hours and need to pace myself so I can finish lol.

One race a guy showed up on a supermoto wr250x with 17 inch knobbies and got 3rd in the intermediate class, the bike is capible if you are! This guy now has a mx bike and is close to winning every race now, its 90% rider 10% bike.

I say sign up in one of the easier classes and go for it, its a ton of fun.  

I was actually wanting to ask this same question for awhile.
Thanks for the answer Biglake.

I win every single race I participate in.

That said, I ride alone.
