Having been to all C/dirts and Nats in Victoria,it is easy to see cost of travell and time off work to travel along way to a meeting. If the C/dirt goes back to NSW aprox in the middle travel wise,do you think more would travel? Could be bigger than Ben Hur.

To grow the sport and give everyone an opportunity to experience VMX on a grand scale, I would like to see a CD-Qld, CD-NSW, CD-Vic, CD-SA, CD-WA and a CD-NT each year and every year. Just evenly spaced out so there is a good chance to get interstate attendance. Each state to hold it's own Classic Dirt every year and open to all. I would like to see growth and positive public awareness in our sport.

We travelled over 4,000 klm's round trip from Victoria to this years CD and would have done it again next year but the NSW alternative will make it much easier for us to attend. We had a great run in the early CD days and think it only fair to share the venues around. Can't wait ;D

4,000 klm's
we could do that in a hire car, trying to get out of the Sydney airport ;D ;D

Allison & Steve you must know a short cut around the airport.

found one :o :o just a sweet 300km due east from Sydney town...whoop whoop..... :-*

300K due east from Sydney-is that Norfolk Is?????

2 years ago I drove to queensland for the oz titles, had a couple of rides and it was great, it was wonderfull just to be there, I would like to do it again, it would also be good to share the Classic dirt around state by state, if it was more central for all, a small outback country town with natural terrain track the people of that town would grab it with open arms which would help their community, looking forward to next year.

She'll be allright, she can stop half way and ask someone directions :D

West, i meant west.... ;D bathurst area ;)
-
closer than you think 160 klm's
-
the core crew that keep going would probably go where ever it is , you might get a few more if its closer but not alot .I think its more about having a full calender than the distance.
-
they will travel..they'd be silly not too. ;D

Quote "Will Victoria and Queensland riders travell?"
They should, it's just down/up the road.......................
-
I hop the Queenslanders and Victorians can support the event as strongly New South Welshmen supported the event when it was in either of their states. It's too good to miss ;)
-
wonder if new venue will have a limit of riders?

Can't be expecting much of a turn-out if nobody knows where it is.
And no worms. I'll give the Magoo charity ride a miss this year.

Wallerawang, just west of Lithgow. I have no idea why nobody seems to have mentioned where it is, the announcement takes up half of page 78 of VMX 48. ::)

Thank goodness somebody finally let the cat out of the bag... we didn't realise it would take so long.
Where: Wallerawang, just west of Lithgow. Lithgow is less than 2 hours west of Sydney [at the base of the western side of the Great Dividing Range].
Date: 7-9 September 2012
Tracks: all virgin tracks* specifically for CD9, designed by Geoff Ballard
More info will be posted on the VMX web site www.vmxmag.com.au as it is confirmed.
*and no, that means the tracks will be on virgin terrain, not tracks for virgins. Heaven knows, apart from Yamaha riders, there aren't any of those on this forum...
-
bring on the virgins ;D
where the bloody hell is NSW?
-
ok, via the newell hwy its 999k's from Brisbane, 12hr and 35min travell, under 1000k's, so i guess i will come !
Cheers Worms

WALLERAWANG-you get arrested for Waller-ing your Wang up here.

I don't see alot of comments about each state having it's own Classic Dirt each year, would this not be a good thing and help grow the sport? It was at Classic Dirt 6 that I decided to get a bike and get back into riding, I went as a spectator and left as a fan. I would think that the Classic Dirt Event has been responsible for more members joining QVMX and BMCC etc... Why can;t we have a CD in every state of Australia? I can only see this as a good idea.
-
You need to be a Wang Wallera to ride a sidecar don't you. ;D
I reckon one in each state might be a bit of an overload but it should definitely alternate.

Good idea in some ways, bad idea in others.
First thing to remember is that this is the baby of VMX magazine, and as the promoter they ultimately decide when and where it’s to be held.
If they were busy organizing 7 classic Dirts in the same year then they would have no time to produce a magazine
If it was held in every state in the same year it would take some of the shine from the event.
Not as many people would make the trip interstate if they had one in there own backyard.
There are lots of things that make the CD events great and one of them is the gathering of people from many states, and even countries.
-
Awesome. Leaves booked and it's on the calendar.
-
Cool..will be good to see the "N"... 8)
Flights are a good price too at the mo...170$ Perth-Sydney one way.
www.blackgoldcabins.com.au look good- right in Wallerwang Town.
cheers us2

I have said before that each state could/should put on a HBBC type event that covers all types of motorcycle of an earlier era and even a Goodwood type of event wouldn't go astray but hey, there is only so many weeks in a year.
The other problem is finding places to have any event let-alone a HBBC.
It looks to me that Wallerawang is the Conondale of middle-eastern Australia (geographically-nothing to do with the population :D)
Hope to be there.
-
Wow. I will have to travel all of five to ten minutes to get there. I hope I am up to it.
-
carefull "head" your front lawn will become a tent town

Unbelieveable thats where i got my 84 500 from at that place 4 year ago...

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Wang we go.... ::)
Ah yes. We will be limiting the rider number, although we believe that the number will be sufficienct to allow all that want to come do so. ;)
Have a Happy Christmas everyone!
