2013 Post Classic MX Championships

[Montynut]

There are some moves to apply to hold the 2013 Post Classic MX Nationals in NSW. Early days yet.

The second half of the year is already very crowded so there are dates being considered early in th eyear. Would welcome input from likely entrants for suggested dates. Don't need to be specific but an idea of the timing would be helpful.

Don't really need any comments about previous envents or negative input as 2013 is a new start for the Post Classic Nats hopefully

Thinking April or May input please

Sounds good, the first half of the year seems to be better for attracting more entries. Some big events in the second half of this year were pretty average in entry numbers.
Just don't have it too close to CD10 or the Conondale Classic, and Broadford Bonanza at Easter is another one to consider.
Any clues to which track?

Very early stage at this point but Lakes near Newcastle

The Conondale Classic is on the first weekend of August if that helps.

[Montynut]

Would Pre85 sidecar team be keen?

Sounds good. First half of the year is a great idea. Less chance of a clash and as been said a better chance of getting the numbers. Count me in.

The QLD mob would take there trollies down...most are in South Aust and they dont travel.

Hold it at broken hill and they will.

April having the Easter Break at the beginning, and school holidays during that month makes it hard and
 
NSW, VIC Mar 28 to Apr 15
QLD Mar 28 - Apr 8
ACT, SA Apr 12-29
TAS & WA Apr 10 - May 6

means that month already has the Easter weekend to organize and some people could be away for extended breaks over Easter and the school hols. Also creating all the extra traffic on the road for the travelers.

I've also heard the Broadford Bonanza is a premium event so if they are holding the BB at Easter next year, that's obviously another reason to avoid this time.

May is a much freer month with less traffic on the roads for interstate travelers and no other significant holidays.

Another thought is the Queens Birthday long weekend June 9,10 & 11 for NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT, NT & SA. Unfortunately it looks like WA & QLD has it later in the year but the extra day for the other states would help the travelers.

Couldn't think of a more appropriate & suitable track to hold it. A real MOTOCROSS test as well as being a fun track to ride with great access to the main highway, just 5 minutes from the Pacific Hwy and plenty of accommodation within a 1/2 hour drive.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, you couldn't drag me away with 10 fully worked 84 CR500s but you knew that.

The Easter weekend and June long weekend are out as the circuit is already committed to major MX events.

I don't care as long as we have more than a 3 X 3 lap races format and it doesn't fall on a weekend when I'm getting my hair done. 

[worms]

all national title races should be 3 x 15 minute plus 1 lap races, regardless of any other issue or club, MA should set a stanard for their National titles instead of allowing clubs to do what they like. hang on, i think Ive said that for the last 5 years, it will bring out the best of the best.

I'll 2nd that

In answer to having Sidecars I can see that all Qlders will go-up to 10 or more.
As far as S.A. and even Vic are concerned, they will travel (Sidecar Spectacular at Echo Valley was a case in point) it's MA that is the issue and they do like a good long race or 3.
So, how many classes of solos are catered for?
There is a good case for having a heap of Kiwis there as well. ( Is that correct-a heap of Kiwis?? or is a tribe? a gaggle? a clutch a herd a flock???) Not too sure there. Anyway , see about 1 event licenses.
