Can a Stark Varg Beat a 500cc 2-Stroke Suzuki Around Pastranaland?

When Carson Brown releases a batch of videos, like he has been doing all week, it's next to impossible to get any work done. Now throw in the fact that he's at Pastranaland, has his hands on Travis Pastrana's custom-built 500cc 2-stroke RMZilla. Flick through the videos, and you'll see that the RMZilla is faster around the compound than a race-prepped Suzuki RM 250, but I wasn't expecting to see it put to the test against a Stark Varg.

Brown set the fastest time around the track, which is pretty flat out—as in fourth gear on a 500cc 2-stroke flat out—so if there was ever a track where the out and out power of these two brutal machines could ever be evenly tested, it's at Pastranaland. Bear in mind that Brown had just beaten Ken Roczen time around the track aboard the RMZilla, so if there was any person to put on a Stark Varg and send out to beat the behemoth, it was him.
