Post by: Viper666 on December 28, 2011, 02:46:16 pm: There will be a couple of practices before then. If I get enough interest I will arrange a VMX/Viper only session.
So post replies or text me & numbers will determine the outcome. If numbers are few then you will still be able to come to one of our normal practice days & I may be able to squeeze 1 or 2 dedicated timeslots in but you will still be able to go out with the moderns anyway.

Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: bigk on December 29, 2011, 11:05:15 am: Great to see things happening early, but could there be some co-ordintaion of dates with VCM. A lot of riders do both series and it looks already as though one of those dates will clash, which can only be to the detriment of both clubs.

Post by: gdr on December 29, 2011, 09:54:57 pm: Big K where do you get the dates for vcm ?
Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: bigk on December 29, 2011, 10:15:22 pm: They pretty much keep the same dates each year. I had look at last years entry form, I think the 2nd round set for Blue Rock will clash. It would be a shame to see the dates clash and it would possibly only affect up to a dozen or so riders, but those riders could mean the difference between good numbers or average numbers. A bit of co-ordination would give both clubs the opportunity to have maximum available riders at their meetings. I might be way off track and have nothing to do with the running of either, it just makes sense to me.
Cheers,
K

No. :D. That's actually the smaller Monza step-up as you run back up towards the tower :P

I'd like to get all the guys who want to have some input into the race order together early in the new year to discuss some ideas. I've rang around some and people are interested in some changes. This includes combining some classes, making trophies end of year only and adding a two stroke only class.
As soon as a venue can be organised for a pow-wow we'll let everybody know who wants to have a say. Ross

Post by: FDR on December 31, 2011, 07:02:52 pm: Good to see Viper committee securing race dates for 2012 series.
Tough job organising a race series, Thanks to Mr & Mrs Maico for taking on the task.

VCM committee will get cracking mid January on 2012 race dates, rest assured working closely with Viper on keeping two week gap between meetings.

Post by: 2 shocks on February 05, 2012, 06:01:16 pm: Pleased to confirm that Corner Inlet/Yanakie have locked in a Viper Round for August 26th.

Awaiting confirmation from Seymour for a date in June, will keep you posted.

Post by: Tex on February 05, 2012, 06:22:02 pm: Hi guys,

The membership form on the website is dated 2011, will there be a 2012 version available soon, or should potential members just use that one (and write "2012" over the top of 2011)?

Great work securing the rounds by the way.

Tex

Post by: bigk on February 06, 2012, 04:59:46 pm: To all VIPER members, please hold fire for a short time, all will be revealed in due course. Some exciting things ahead for VIPER 2012, just soughting through some red tape before getting things finalised. Some good venues locked in so far (including Ravenswood) and more to come. The contact & correspondence details for VIPER will change, so please refrain from sending membership forms in for the moment. In the meantime you can email me at [email protected] if you need to.

Post by: Stevo17 on February 14, 2012, 06:40:50 pm: Can anyone tell me whats going on with memberships etc ?
Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: bigk on February 14, 2012, 10:37:04 pm: Viper is alive & well and will be bigger & better for 2012 & beyond. 5 rounds secured with more to come. By the end of the month VIPER will be a club in it's own right with a slight name change to Viper vintage motocross club. You no longer will have to be a member of an invited club and will be able to be licensed through Viper which will keep your costs down if you don't wish to be a member of another club. The finer details are being soughted now with all past & current members to be notified via an email or letter (or both) in the very near future. The race program is being tweaked with some classes being combined and some new ones. There will be a pre'85 4 stroke class for all you people with XR/TT/DR etc, a post 90 2 stroke class (including enduro bikes) for modern riders who don't want to race against 450 4t's and the junior class will be re-introduced and hopefully will be more supported than in previous years. All the adjustments are designed to encourage more riders. Membership details will be sent after the end of this month with the membership due date being mid April (two weeks before the first round). To be eligible for series points from the first round your membership must be paid by the due date. To retain your number your membership also must be paid, there will be no numbers held in reserve for unfinancial members. Hold tight and all will be advised shortly, it will be a great race season. You can email me at [email protected] or call 0417394889 if you have any questions. Yes Brent I am on the organising comittee in the role of secretary.
Cheers,
K

Great ,it all sounds good. I'm just wondering about how and when an organising committee was formed without rank and file members like myself not knowing about it ?
Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: Scunge on February 14, 2012, 10:47:54 pm: Awesome!!!

Well done to all who put their hand up for the committee this year!!

I cannot wait to get into the rounds this year!
Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: bigk on February 14, 2012, 11:21:55 pm: It had to happen Brent or we would still be going round in circles. We don't/didn't mean for anyone to feel "left out" just be glad we have a series (a bigger & better series) up & running. Next year with Viper becoming a club all financial members will have voting rights and able to have an input.
Cheers,
K

Any word on this round?

Title: Re: Viper 2012
Post by: 2 shocks on May 02, 2012, 07:05:22 pm: Hi Tex (alias 101) ;D

Unfortunately Seymour is not a starter for 2012. Unfortunately most clubs were waiting for the MV Calendar to be released before confirming any dates, hence the calendar was pretty tight to schedule events, so from memory Seymour have a 2 dayer end of June early July which is when we were looking to host an event, hopefully we can work with them next year. Next round will be at Blue Rock May 27th, just trying to fine tune a few helping hand issues as it clashes with the next round of the Senior Vics at Maffra. Next round will be held at Ravenswood July 8th then Corner Inlet/Yanakie August 26th with the next 2 events to be held on grass tracks which have been pencilled in for Sept & Oct. Hope to see you at a Viper event soon.

Damn! Nearly all the '12 events clash with other things I have happening! Ravenswood will be the only one I can get to at this rate. >:( . Hopefully the grass track events will favour me a bit more.

Keep up the good work!
