Planet Minis - View Single Post - 150, 250 or 450? Which to race in vet classes?

OK, I've been reading about the new CRF150R and it looks like a really cool bike - except for some cam/clutch problems which they will work out. I am +45 but very short (5' 5") and the CRF150R is the perfect size for me. I want to race in the vet classes next year and wondered what the people felt about being competitive on a 150R versus the 250 and 450's? Has anyone ever tried to stuff a 250 motor into that 150 frame? Thoughts on how to be competitive on the 150 against the big bikes? Thanks!
