If I can get my act together I will. Only 1 bike for me, Evo DR500, more next year.
You'll end up doing more laps than anyone Jim, riding all those bikes, well done.

I plan on riding.
Same as Curly, got to get my act together and convert my EVO YZ250 for dirt track. And hopefully get it to run a bit better than it has been  :)
Cheers

I will be taking my XT500 slider. I was hoping to have my pre 70 RT1 going but have run into difficulties. The barrel was badly worn and was supposed to be bored to +1.5 but is so distorted it would not clean up. My other barrel will clean up to 1.00 but I only have a 1.5 piston so it won't be ready. Jim, in the good old days I use'to take a 250,a 350 and a 500 "which means three times the problems"! Now days I don't think I would have the staying power! Hey curly3 What No Slider?  Cheers pancho. PS Plus overnight stay.

Pancho, as I haven't ridden a slider, or anything else competitively, for nearly 28 years I want to ease myself back into it. As you know to ride to ride a slider properly you have to be on the throttle hard and I still don't know if I'm brave enough to do it.
My wife thinks I've finally lost my mind

Curly3 I never was a 'guts' man on my old B31 slider so I just concentrate on ringing its neck in a straight line! It took me a year or so of meets to settle me into a style that gives me fun without frights.cheers pancho.

At the momment I keep thinking up excuses why I won't be ready in time instead of just doing it.
I'll be there but not at the pointy end, I will be camping overnight and celebrating my 50th at same time as my mid life crisis, so join me for a bevvy.
Grow old disgracefully.

eml how good is it to have two events in two states which are focused on classic dirt scene.i remember when i was young !!!!( not as matured as pancho ) the first charity day was run on the same weekend that the classic motocross was ran in west australia.we had the west and east coast covered.one year the penrith club move their meeting to the third weekend in august because of the conondale classic, numbers where down and that is why the club went back to the first weekend in august.
as our event in nsw is cancalled all the best.what`s the say-in, queensland prefect oneday - dry the next.
hey that means you queenslanders can come down for the bruce "magoo" macfarland charity ride on the 28/29 august or forget it just send down your money as the new south welsh men will whip your ass.pay back for the state of origin.

grasy have you read my post under the magoo charity post? unfortunate the club can only work with the dates that nepean have left with go karts, practice,speedway and dirt track it limits the opinions.i myself like the october long weekend but the heaven club have a race meeting at canawinda.
hey let`s use it as track time to hone our skills before the australian classic dirt track.
matcho we know you work well under pressure.
