Welcome to the group.
1st order of business on the 220 is verify whether or not the OEM pison is installed, and if it is replace it. (ha I got here first this time!)
2nd is find a different bike to race dirt track. As far as I remember, AMA sanctioned stuff limits singles to 2006 and newer 450 MX bikes basically. Even if not racing AMA, unless you're in a small bore specific class, the 220 is not a good choice for TT/flat tracks. It's got enough grunt down low to start well, but you run out of top end faster than the 200. That said, it would be fun to slide a KDX around the 1/8 mile and smoke everyone out of the stands lol.

I will be racing in the 60 y/o plus age group, the size, make and model are open when it comes to the bike, the flat track is only 1/8 mile and I have an alternate set of Buchannan wheels already laced up and ready to go, haven't ridden an dirt bike in 13 years, should be interesting! lol
