Definitely, but this time on the other side of the fence.
I had a great time but being a Pit Bitch is not me.
Al, just don't hang that red scarf out of your back pocket.

Would Consider it for sure. But starting and finishing time would need to be a bit more freindlier.  Being able to run under lights would make it do-able for sure.  Love riding under lights and the track was at its best in the second round after 7pm.
You could do a double the dirt or TT style, but that would mean missing out the sliders, and that 4 valve JAwa in the slider class with the 20ft rooster tail from turn one all the way to the finish line at angle was a highlight to watch all weekend

I'd like to think I'd have a go. I don't have a bike that could do dirt track at the moment but I've been thinking of getting something to do some track next year. Maybe one of them TT500s, or a Pre 78 250.

Whatever you've already got Graeme just put a trials tyre on it and you're ready to go.
Do it, you'll enjoy it.

Nah, my poor little 125 is way underpowered. I reckon she'd blow up with me flogging it like it'd need. She'll be right, I'll get something more suited and get into it next season.

Without detracting from the attraction of holding the NSW Classic Titles at Griffith, what about holding a Classic 3Hr race at some stage?
Griffith is probably the only track capable of holding a long distance event due to the "VEGIE" oil they use on the track.
I'm keen.

Thats the point Dave, you don't need a super fast engine but have to build one that will reach the flag.
The old girls could finish a 6 hour back in their day, no reason why they couldn't do 3 now.
Maybe the riders might struggle to go the distance?
Just thinking out loud.

Steve,
The parts for these old girls are like rocking horse poo now. Maybe we all ride XL125's to keep the speed low & expense to a minimum but maintain reliabilty.

Posty's?
2 Classes, pre75 & pre85. Each 2 man team must have 1 rider over 50.
I reckon its a goer.

If it was riding posties, Phil Herne would be perfect, still a professional motorcycle rider after nearly 40 years.
I didn't mean pre 75-85 posties, that'd be as boring as batshit, funny for a short while.
I still reckon a 3 hour is a goer.
Goooo the Rooooosters.
