I heard that too. I've got buckleys chance of securing a mount of my own but would love to try one out. Anyone got an old girl of that period in the shed which needs a run and might be looking for a Jockey? I'll treat her with kindness

Greg, would you like to answer the man??

Klub Kevlar will be out in force for this now that the hatchet's been buried. Nothings set in stone yet but we're thinking of around six pre 65's from our stable. I've even been offered Black Betty for the Caonwindra round and I might just take it up if I'm fit enough by then.

I've started my own thread so there ;D ;D ;D

The Heaven VMX Club are very pleased to announce a special Pre65 series within our normal VMX series for 2013
This class has been struggling over the last few years in NSW with only one nomination at the CRC in 2012 and only a couple in 2011. We know the bikes are out there, the owners are still keen from all reports. Therefore the problem must be the product we are offering. To try and encourage the re-emergence of the Pre65 class we have decided to offer a special series within our normal program.
Basically to steal a line from the movie Field of Dreams “build it and they will come” .
There will be a 3 round Pre65 series run concurrently with our normal meetings.
These will be at
Rd3 - Bulahdelah MX track - 15/16 June
Rd5 CRC – Bulahdelah Grass Track - 24/25 Aug
Rd6 Canowindra Cup grass track - 5/6 Oct
We have chosen those meetings as the tracks are most suitable for the bikes. This means that the commitment for the owners is very focused which fits with the nature and cost of keeping these valuable bikes on the track
Any rider that enters and rides a Pre65 machine in these meetings will be offered free entry even if they ride other machines. Riders will still have to pay for their One Event Lic if they need one.
The sight and sound of these bikes is something that is missing from our club at present. We are really looking forward to hearing Pre65 machines thundering around Canowindra showground 8) 8) ;).
We are serious about getting this class back to a sustainable level. We hope by strengthening the roots of VMX with Pre65 that this will flow on to a stronger Pre70 and Pre75 etc
The Canowindra event is the long weekend and that was pointed out clashes with the National Dirt Track meeting although there is little we can do about the availablity of Canowindra Showground but we are looking at it.
Lets get those Pre65s fettled for some track time 8) ;D

Pre65 VMX I'm afraid but you are more than welcome to come and have some fun. Canowindra is a flat grass track where the Dirt Track guys come and have some fun ;)
The two Bulahdelah meetings are very Pre65 friendly so don't be put off

I should have save my $60 bucks and waited a bit longer and just read it on hear on the Fourm .....................................

Now Dennis you know that I only use your rocket fuel drinks as octane booster in my bikes ;D ::)

All mx?
but great idea for a Scottish Trials theme.part enduro/trials and throw in a round of DT and mx.
Great mix 8)

Sounds good Monty, count me in. My mates Parilla wildcat will be ready by then too!

Does that mean your in the market for a Pre65 machine Noel? Birko will have to get that Husky of his all sorted ;)
-
Pre 60 actually
but figure that it should qualify,
-
Great work Heaven, the Club and VMX is in good hands in NSW. Husky will be sorted and race ready 8) 8)

As a keen but outside observer of the VMX scene I have to say that this is the beat news our sport could possibly receive.
Let's start at the grass roots and move forward from there.
Full credit to all involved and if I can put my 2bobs worth in I would suggest that this could/would/should become something like the old US AMA series.
This def has legs.
-
This little series seems to have stirred some interest. We have been contacted by three people that have recently or are in the process of bring Pre65s back to the track. We really hope that this class gets good support this year.
Sliderulz that sounds like a great idea and if we can get the numbers a series in 2014 would be a perfect way expand Pre65s in NSW
Any ideas on a series name?
The Roy East Pre65 Challenge
Roy East Pre65 Cup
Roy East Memorial Series
Am I stuck on the Roy East idea ;D
-
Having just re read my last post the big problem I see with my suggestion is that it's probably not realistic to ride the same bike you'd ride on both MX & DT on a Road Racing circuit.
Maybe we could change it a bit to be MX, DT & Grasstrack, or it could bring a track like Taree into the picture, it's pretty bloody close to a road.
Or, we could make it a 4 round series.
I have no drama's with Roy East's name being involved, he pretty much rode it all.
-
These are the dates so start getting those Pre65 fettled ready for action 8)
Don't think they clash with anything.
15/16 June Rd3 – Pre65 Bulahdelah
24/25 Aug Rd5 / CRC – Pre65 Bulahdelah - Grass Track
12/13 Oct Rd6 / Canowindra Cup – Pre65 Canowindra - Stadium Grass Track 8) 8)
Naturally you are also very welcome at any of the Heaven VMX meetings
