Sup-regs next week--info.re motels etc in a day or so--camping on site. Track is at Raubers Rd Nudgee about 5 mins from Brisbane Airport. If you are checking it out on Google Earth there is a MX track,a Supermoto track under construction, and a combined speedway, longtrack & dirt-track,so aerial view can be confusing,

Not valid Firko, when your Nats entry comes in your VMX247 Comp vote will be accepted. This raises another thing for forum members to ponder upon. Will firko ride the Nats after all the practice he will get at HBBB?

In a nutshell.....Nope. I'll never say never but at the moment my war injuries prevent any serious riding. I'd just be a mobile chicane. ;D Once I've had all of my repairs done, who knows. I'm looking forward to cutting some laps at Broardford on the new bikes though and also looking forward to doing some laps on the 490 Maico and new IT250 at Slakewells at the end of the month.
Title: Re: 2011 Australian Classic Dirt Track Championships
Post by: supersenior 50 on March 08, 2011, 04:33:04 pm
Cmon Firko, a mobile chicane would save us prepping the dogleg and add to the excitement.
All rudeness aside we hope you'll come up, and do some commentry, rider interviews etc.
Title: Re: 2011 Australian Classic Dirt Track Championships
Post by: firko on March 08, 2011, 04:39:57 pm
I'll most certainly be there Col and if my new flat tracker turns out OK and looks to be reasonably competitive after dial ins at Broadford and if my guest rider can pull off a trip to the Nats, it'll be there with me.
It'll be my peasure to do some commentary, interviews or whatever you need mate ;).
Title: Re: 2011 Australian Classic Dirt Track Championships
Post by: Curly3 on March 08, 2011, 05:34:24 pm
Col, without putting more on your plate, I think it may be time for a DVD to capture the whole experience inc - Interviews with past Legends and present top classic competitors, current bikes, riders and even a photo call of every bike/rider.
I know it is a big ask, something to think about.
Maybe we can do it at the titles at Nepean next year :P

Post by: Curly3 on March 08, 2011, 08:22:27 pm
Col, is the event schedule set in stone?
I see a couple of times where similar events are very close together.
Eg, Pre 85 over 250 and evo over 250, or the sidecars, I know they're boneheads from a different planet but each class may suffer if they can't ride up. ;D ;D ;D
Hey Wal, you're forgiven, it is out of numerical order, I'll have room for your bike in my trailer, think about it.
Title: Re: 2011 Australian Classic Dirt Track Championships

Final race makeup and race order will be decided when entry becomes clearer, so no need to sweat it at this stage.

Gee you blokes carry on just enter the event & make it happen for the sport. We spent months enticing riders to come to our Griffith Titles & we think they all had a ball . Lets let QLD have the same support with out the procrastination.
See you there ???

Gee Dave, the official entry form only became available today, as you said, you guy's spent months building interest and the whole event was a testament to your club.
Just general discussion to help make this event as good or dare I say, better.
Just because the Dragons are world champs, don't get too cocky.

i know this is a stupid question but can i enter now, but then nominate the classes before the entires close ?
that way i get good odds on the Posting question  ;)and still time to sort out some  rides.

I don't think it's a stupid question,just demonstrates the ability to hatch a cunning plan.Bear in mind I can be bought.
Put in your race entry,with $150, nominate your VMX247 post number, and sort out classes and balance of payment later[before 10th June]

No need to panic Dave. Vintage punters are notoriously slow getting their entries in. I can remember drumming it up on this forum and doing ring arounds for the last half a dozen Nats, both DT and MX, when the entry list looked crook. In the end it all worked out in the positive. You've got a couple of months yet so hang loose matey, it'll happen.

Dave i didnt go to Coffs as it was not a place i could get to, but if that had enought numbers to run, i assume those riders were that side of the map, so they should be OK for Brissy.  can you get the participant race/contact list off that race sec and then email them.  Somtimes unless peeple see it, they forget to search it out.

Just wondering how entries are going with only 5 entries & 8 weeks till entries close , hope things improve as it makes it hard for a club to run the circus without the clowns.
Griffith spent alot of time to premote last years titles(pre entry flyers,VMX mag ect) hope Brisbane get some support.

Post by: 211kawasaki on April 29, 2011, 03:49:43 pm
No additions this week Im sad to have to advise.
Note: unlike others we will NOT take late entries - period. I have a full time job and its a huge undertaking to organise this and if you dont enter on time you will not ride.
The NBJMCC has really gone out on a limb for us to stage this event at this venue, its a great track, fast and nice to ride please start o send your entries now if you are coming we will not be banking any cheques until June if that helps.

Had a peek on the google earth and a spy in Brissie, the track looks first rate fellows, can't wait to get there. A tip for any motorcross blokes who want to have a go with a bunch of dirt track cowboys, this the place to do it. Granite based tracks are sooo forgiving and the track in Brisbane isn't super fast so its very easy on ya bike and impossible to hurt yourself, so have go .See Ya there.

just had a look at 2010 titles on you tube and just letting others that dont know that brisbane has no right hand turns. also its not as big/long/hard as action park. top track though.

Post by: supersenior 50 on May 06, 2011, 10:56:23 pm
CORRECTION---The track includes a RIGHT HAND CORNER. As explained in a previous post, the Nudgee complex has multiple layouts, including normal DIRT TRACK with dogleg. It also has a long track, a speedway oval, and alternative dirt track circuit, all inthe one area. Adjacent is the Brisbane Club's MX track, and a supermoto track under construction.

The clock's running down really fast--only four weeks to close of entries [10th June]. We'll accept completed & paid entries at CD8 [Dave Tanner & Col Metcher will have forms], but at the end of the day Sunday 12th that's it.
If we can help with information, posting hard copy of entry, accommodation,
supply of trials tyres, local info etc, please just ask. Col Metcher [email protected] .au or Dave Tanner [eligibility & rules] [email protected]

The entries are about the same as Griffith was 6 weeks out from race day, which is encouraging. Wedo ask that you get your entries in asap, both to help in the planning & to ensure you don't miss out. The 20+ late entries for Griffith, will be disappointed if they rely on us to accommodate them for this event.
If you are unsure which bikes you'll have ready, enter your wish list and if you have to leave one behind or change things, we'll make the adjustments.
Also, to ease the money burden, we won't present cheques until early June.

Entries close in two & a half weeks. As Griffith's success provided a benchmark we obviously compare with them, and at the same time out from the event we are slightly ahead on entry numbers.
We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm of Grasy & others who are helping to drive the entries.
At this point responce from Qld riders is disappointing, but I'm sure this will change.
One thing that may affect final numbers is that our "no late entries" policy may catch a few out[ Griffith had over 20 late entries].

Post by: firko on May 25, 2011, 02:01:25 pm
Col, I'm wondering how many of the Queensland *vintage motocross stalwarts have entered? For a state that can raise record numbers at CD and the Conondale Nats, surely we could expect similar support from the motocross guys. If you blokes haven't tried dirt track before, this might be the perfect opportunity to find out how competitive and how much fun the sport is. I mean, it's not as if you need to buy a new bike....all you need is a decent trials tyre and you're up and ready to go.

 Dirt track is an important part of our overall movement and while I can understand that for many dirt trackers, the complexities of motocross are out of their comfort zone, I've never really understood why so many MXers don't bother with dirt track, especially considering that their particular skill levels fit right in.

*Ditto NSW racers.

Things are looking really hot in the pre 75 750 classes and the old buggers classes - where are the young guys, there are 2 or 3 -  20 somethings then the rest are all 40 plus; did we skip a generation or something??

 For the statistically minded---percentage of entries by state:-
           NSW 61%   Qld 29%  Vict 6%  SA 2%  Tas 2%

  Special Award   The Steve New Award for last entry accepted TBA at presentation.
  Special Welcolme  Doug Aichison who at 2000 CMX Nats vowed "I'll never ride another Nats" after
                           getting a bum call, has entered 3 bikes in 4 classes.
                           Mike Crawley for entering a Pre 60 Villiers 200cc--definitely in the spirit of things.
The VMX247 comp. need more entries. Maybe it has been conceded that Cheapracer is more prolific.
Special thanks   to the Tassie & SA enties, we know the effort it takes to travel so far.

If travelling north on M1 its left onto Southern Cross Way
then travel north about 5 km
and then left into Toombul Road
first right into Nudgee Road
then right onto Rauber Rd with the track at the back of the offices/LIA area.

The old Nudgee rd basically runs parelell with Southern Cross Way

Super Senior 50, Allan Warren and Ron Draper wondering if they are on the entry list before making trip down from Prossy. Ran  into son in law at Moto Triumph in Moss St while picking up some tyres. Said I'd enquire. One of them is also wondering if he brings another class of bike down as well as his entered one can he get a start with it.

Boy did I just dodge a bullet.
Doing some jetting runs up and down the street where my factory is in Enfield and got caught by the Police.
I'm a lucky boy, I was straight up with them, they were only General Duty boys and the senior officer was into drag bikes.
Unregistered, uninsured, no licence on me and no helmet, could've been near $2,000 in fines.
Most Cop's are good fella's and that would've ruined my trip north.
See you all there, and no speeding on way. :P

Got my "Final Instructions" today.  Haven't raced dirt track for years.  I have body armour which I use for VMX, but what is the Back Protector which has to be inspected?  If I haven't got one, how much does it cost?  I assume it is mandatory.
Mike
Title: Re: 2011 Australian Classic Dirt Track Championships
Post by: supersenior 50 on June 19, 2011, 06:39:54 pm
Rule18.1.2.4. applies. In my understanding those combination suits mounted on mesh which include a back protector from top to base of spine are ok. If you have the typical body armour, without the long back section, you'll need a separate protector. Contact Mat Kuhn at Shark Leathers who have low cost protectors 0755735118 or [email protected] & tell them I sent you. If you decide to buy I can collect it for you. They are just off the motorway a few k North of the Gold Coast

It's "let's get our knickers in a knot on the forum" time again. An enquiry to the right source would have got an answer much quicker. The plan is an out lap [sighting], two laps, then slow down/exit lap.This can be repeated within the 20min. block for the relevant era bike.

Hey Elsie, this EML fella seems to think Dirt Track is a sinch, which means he should clean up.

Run & Won without any major injury.
Can't relay all the results but the usual suspects, Peter Lee, Ray Stevens & Glen Evans won a couple each.
Sydney boy, Justin Burdus won the Evo 250 in a great scrap with Grant Dodd, even though he was entered in the pre 78 250 but was protested against at scrutineering because his RM had 78 forks.
At the end of the day they did him a favour, better than being protested against after the event.
The meeting was run on a points score only with no final.
All in all it was a great event.
Oh yeah, personally I rode like an old mole on Sat morn but pulled my finger out the meeting wore on.
Many thanks to Col & everyone involved.
Cheers, Steve

Only result worth knowing is that the EML Norton MOTOCROSS outfit, owned by Nick Higgs and raced by Jamie McMurdo and Wayne Hollaway (Qld) beat all comers (Dirt Track Kneelers) to win in a great display of sidecar control and expert passengering.
Very well done guys!!!!

they sounded quite impressed.
anyway,
here a few shots from the start on the saturday.
excellent meeting! :)

Post by: Freakshow on June 27, 2011, 02:59:21 pm
I would like to thank all the people behind the scenes who got the Aussie Dirt track titles off the ground, considering i remember a time when the talk was no Club wanted to do it in 2011 !!    So Regardless of how well or how badly anyone rates these events on a personal level, we all must appriciate the fact that they have put in the yards to give us a chance to ride the event at all. So thanks Col and Tanner for getting this thing to the start gate.

For the record I had a great time.  Pocket is much much lighter ( probally over $20 a lap) but worth it.  great track too.

Got to meet some of the Brisbane Forum people over the weekend so was good to see some faces,  good to catch up with some old ones like the Brisbane mafia - Brad,Tatey,Doggee, the griffith mafia - grasy and pete lee,  sydney siders, turtle ( some strong hole shots all weekend), matcho mick and crew, heck i spent all weekend saying hi to someone.  even the trolley boys popoye and co, good to say hi finally.

My sincerest thanks must go to Robin for picking me up from the airport and giving me a ride on the sidecar for the weekend and a great laugh hanging on it was too.

Stewy"old fart' lemon for letting me stay over at his place for a few nights and even making his lovely wife get up on her day off and take me to the freeway to meet dave at 6 am.

Dave Tanner for letting me punt around his little TM125 all weeekend and even bringin the gas. she finished every race so you couldnt ask for more.  Also for giving me a lift to the track each and everyday ( and yes i survived his high speed 'Skillmiester'driving) and the airport carpark

So a big thank you to all that help me keep livin' the dream.

But my last thank you is to Alison for being such a consistant poster.  I was lucky enough to win the "vmx247" entry with the post guess ( i was in early so i reckon my handicap would have been good) i think i picked around 650+ posts in the entries open period, man can she post............  anyway thank you to whoever organised the prizes and for roger for drawing it, i sat it on my lap all the way home on the plane - i just love it to bits.  Love the colour, everything.  His detail and bike knowledge is great, but the steel shoe just cracks me up , its great .  So a big thank you and know its greatly appreiciated.

Im sure i have missed people and to those i say thanks too. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Sept for the Big one, and to the others at the DT in 2012 !

We are never going to win a race but just crossing the line is a win to me. thanks to EML for letting us race his great machine. well done to all the place getters and to jamie and wayne for some fantastic racing and a well deserved win in both classes.

Careful there Lama, dirt track is only practise for the real stuff (mx & road race) and pretty casual though with all those races one after another it did get a bit intense (NO ... NOT camping out in tents) Just use the experience to build on you next motocross at the Conondale Classic.

well i'd like to say i had fun,but i didn't,after faceplanting on ossa in it's 2nd race,(tried to save the loose with my elbow  ::)),parked it,put skinnier front on the XL sat nite to help with the mind games,(didn't help)so rode like a gumby for the day,definately a sliders track,coming out of the last corner next to start gate was a bloody lottery for me,till i back it off,apart from that was pretty good meeting i guess,lots of new friendly faces,weather was perfect ,t shirt & shorts,congrats to all the winners, :P
ps didn't need the van heater till i got closer to home  ::)

The full results are up on the MA website.
I want to put in the one and only complaint about the meeting.
How come there was no over 50's class included in both the Pre 85 Open & EVO Open?
Looks like I would've won em both, quite a few didn't finish the event but that's not the point.
 ;D :P

MA website has results and a section in the "news", although a couple of errors need correction [number 88-guess who- had his bike number scored as race points in first race and awarded the 50-59 125cc championship] This has been noted.
Considering 175 races were run plus practice, with 20 championship classes and support classes scored within them, it was a great effort by the scoring team.

Slides,check the MOMS, there are no age classes for Evo & Pre85. One of the paragraphs in my submission last year to Split the Classic MX Nats was advocating age groups for Evo.It seems this will go through for 2012 [whether the DT Nats gets strong enough to be split is debateable,but it's trending in the right direction]

As good as it gets - Wayne and the crew did a great job; no dust. Absolute credit to the club both from the presentation of the track (amoungst the best you will ever see) and the track to ride on.

Good luck this weekend

For those who dont know the BJMCC is running the Australian Jnr Longtrack this weekend - how many clubs could run to Nationals back to back, absolute credit to the club, its workers, a can do attitude and the legacy of guys like Glen Fien.

Congrats for a job well done.

How do you get your race number as your points scored?
Adam (993) wants to know for future events :D :D :D
MA site also boasts 4 riders that won 2 classes over the weekend but so did Jamie & Wayne on the Norton EML-selective reporting again? (sidecars-what sidecars??)

99% of the track was perfect.  only spot was the turn into the esses had a big bump and a hole, and ggot a bit chopped up in there During the day.  But the course proper was perfect.  not to much water too which was good.   On the long track for the weeekend they wont see that dog leg issue.

Interesting to see what the solo guys say, but there was a 'berm' formed just on the entry to the main straight that almost caught a few out (might even have got a couple from some photos that I've seen).
We hit it on the last lap of our last race which we won-it nearly pitched me out of the chair and stretched my right arm, back and neck muscles along with my right leg quad. We were full noise sideways at the time and shit it bit hard.

You're right Pete, Dion rode that 2008 model, Mick Farrell built goldie like a demon, until he bounced it off the fence once too often.
Sounded bloody good to.
