Anyone know where yet or maybe which clubs have put their hand up to host this event?
-
Good question, it'd be nice to get the travel calendar in order.
-
Be nice if Nepean does it. :D

While at Nudgee last night I was told that they may be held there.. would certainly be good for us queenslanders

WoW- youll be all burntout come season end 2014.
One thing,means you must all come west for 2015 :P

I believe Canberra has applied, but no decision has yet been made.
-
You have got to be joking
-
Canberra has the Titles pencilled in for 27/28 September in their DT calendar.

NBJMCC would be a great place to hold this event awesome track to nice deco surface perfect for the sliders! 8)

Where exactly is that?

I'd heard a rumour that it was to be Broadford but I guess that's off the cards now. Canberra eh? That's sure to open up some dialogue. ::)

Watch this space

WA should have it's own dirt track venue by 2015.

Maybe if the Brissy boys run it the MMCC will let you do it at Action Park? Just suggesting as a plan as my attempts to get a state or national event held on that awesome track have been beaten into oblivion. Needless to say they booted me out of the committee! I'll be happy to put up a submission to them to get this venue utilised to its full potential.

I rode at the 2011 titles held at Nudgee ( Nth Briz ) and it was a great event, Canberra held them in 2012 and they run a great event also.
I'd like to see Broadford get a shot.
-
condo or Woodstock would be good
-
We have talked about running it at Coffs, maybe 2015.
-
condo or Woodstock would be good
Two great tracks. I remember locking a Maico gearbox on the straight at Woodstock Park in '73 which brought me down and half of the field ran over me, most of them coming to grief too. The prang got a half paragraph mention in Revs, my first magazine appearance 8). But I digress......I love Condo dirt track but never hear of it any more. Is it used much for senior competition? The Condo Greybeards meeting used to be the best vintage dirt track meeting on the calendar, often twice as many entries as the Nats. A great meeting sadly lost to the sport.
-
Just to eliminate one area of speculation, CDT Nats won't be Run by NBJMCC
-
The Harley Cub of Victoria (HCV) will put in for CDT titles for 2015 to be held at Broadford.
-
Looks like the compass point is slowly swinging in the direction of Canberra.
I don't have a problem with that, I missed the last one there due to a bloody stupid injury.
-
We have talked about running it at Coffs, maybe 2015.
Are there any meetings suitable for Pre '75 Classic bikes at Coffs Harbour in 2014 ?..........My son, his wife and the grandkids live at Sawtell and would love to see The Old Fella have a skid....... ;D

That's good news, I love Broadford, it's my favourite track.
Looks like the compass point is slowly swinging in the direction of Canberra.
I'm thinking it'll be somewhere in Queensland but lets just wait until the official announcement. I hope that comes soon though as we need to schedule our road trips for 2014. Right now I've got HBBB at Broadford, Classic Nats in Port Augusta, the Post Classic Nats in Toowoomba Qld, Classic Dirt in.....(oops, I almost gave it away ;D) and the Conondale Classic in Queensland. Add the Dirt Track Nats, the HEAVEN away games and the big long track meetings for my flat track tackle that I hope to get to next year and the old Jeepster will certainly be copping some hard road miles. I'm a poor old retiree so one of the Queensland meetings, either the Post Classic Nats or Conondale Classic will probably have to drop off the schedule purely for cost reasons. In the middle of all that I want to fit in the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens and Singapore to visit my godson and a quick trip to the US to catch up with friends if all the ducks line up. After the crap of the last four years it'll be good to actually get involved on a more permanent basis again.
-
I keep telling you Firko to move up to QLD, it will save a lot of fuel money, Reggie and your mum will love the climate (plus of course your mum would just be coming home)....you'll be on the "winning" team in the State of Origin and nearly everything else (you can still support the bunnies from up here). You will have to leave your Blues and Tah's guernzies in the litter bin at the border crossing though. ;D.....MMF (Mark Maroon Firkin)...ps....Gally's up here to so he wont have to go far to ride the OW72. 8)
-
If its not to be Nepean I hope (selfishly) it'll be far enough away so I won't get stressed out about not getting there!
cheers
-
Never ridden at Condo but reckon Dirtracker is on the money with
Woodstock. Did a few meetings their in the late 60s early 70s and was
always a great Short Circuit Venue/meeting.
Was probably at that meeting for Firko's performance but sadly
missed it.
Not sure if they did it every meeting but does anyone remember
they used to put a ramp on the main straight at lunch time and
have a bit of a comp to see who could jump the furthest.
-
Its hopefully Nepean, close enough to home, can't win a trick at canberra, and no knowledge of Woodstock and Wally can go.
Hope I'm not being tooo selfish either ;D ;D

Loose oil like Griffith is the go, I never liked the hard packed tracks.
When is that meeting likely to be on at Coffs FireKwaka?

Fancy going to the "Deep North" Funny politics up there! They've even managed to find a new JOH clone too run the place!
-
Sir Joh Crock-Of ! fits perfect pancho ;D ;D ;D
-
It's only scary if you live here! Retirement in the south a definite possibility!
Rosco86.
-
It won't be long before someone comes on here to remind us 'southerners' just how wonderful Joh was. ::).
Joh jokes aside, I think it's about time that the title venue is announced. We need time to map these things out. While my ideal would be to have it at Nepean I know that's not an option and I think Canberra and Temora have had their go for a while so where the hell is it going to be?.
-
We'd be more than happy to run it here at TEMORA again, but it's a bit unfair to everyone else. Honestly i'd love to see condobolin hold it, i'm sure they held the classic titles back there in 90's anyhow i believe that it needs to be run on an oil track (loose or hard) otherwise it'll be impossible to run all the events and i think splitting the meeting into classic and post classic will kill it, there just is'nt enough entries by doing that to make it a successful meeting....... anyhow best wishes to the club that takes it on..... and i'll TRY my best to make it to the 2014 classic titles ( no matter where they are ) REGARDS : ASH 666
-
OVER 3 DAYS WOULD BE GOOD
-
Any more news of the venue? I'm a little selfish here but I'd like to be able to work out a travel schedule for the year.
-
ANYWHERE WOULD BE GOOD AS LONG AS THEY DONT SPLIT IT
-
ANYWHERE WOULD BE GOOD AS LONG AS THEY DONT SPLIT IT
I agree,CDT hasn't got the depth of entries that VMX enjoys so there's no need for a split right now.
-
We're now a week into 2014 yet there's still no word on the venue for the 2014 Classic Dirt Track Nats. Not good enough.
-
Yes, time is getting on. Has a decision been made yet? Anyone on the commission got any thoughts to offer? I know a couple of clubs at least have put in for it so all that's needed is the decision!
-
geez you guys toey or what? :D, :P
-
Has a decision been made yet? This is dragging on way longer than it really should. I really don't mind where it is but please end the silence and let us know so we can formulate some sort of travel itinerary for the year.
-
just looked on the ma web page still not approved with no date either
-
Ash, put your hand up!!!!
-
still waiting......I'd love to see it at Broadford. Waiting for the final call on CD10 too. It's getting late.
-
Agree Firko,
Trying to get my calendar together but we are awaiting dates for the Aussie Classic DT, and CD10.
-
Does anybody know of any club putting in for the titles.
-
Our resident Freakster is or was on the OZ commish before his accident.
Kerry, can you shed any light?
-
What about Taree, shinko only tyre rule and see how that pans out! :P
Sorry couldn't help myself ;D

See you at your place or mine ( Astor Pub ), Mark..............I'm thirsty already.......... ;D
-
I will ask again has any club put in to hold this event I have a club meeting tonight and will ask if we are interested in holding it but don't want to step on any clubs toes.
-
There must be someone that knows if a club has put their hand up.
-
Word is that Canberra have definitely applied and waiting for a reply.
I've just sent an email to MA but not holding my breath.
-
I have been ringing MA all arvo with no response no wonder people get the shits with them bad business.
-
So maybe back to the split we go ? How many times do they want it .
-
Unless it goes to an oiled track it looks like it will be split up again.
Excuse my memorry Steve but where are you again?
-
Steve no other club has had a problem running both,if they believe they cannot why put their hand up.
Like i said once before run it over 3 days.There does not seem to be an issue when mx do it .
-
I hear you Grant, with the introduction of Pre90, two Post Classic Slider classes and a few more age classes makes a pretty congested programme at a combined event but I've got no problem with a three dayer, some people will.
Are you guys going to Broadford at Easter?
-
If its a Canberra that's good I'm hoping my club The Harley club of Victoria will put in for the titles for 2015 to be held at Broadford and held over 2 days we have a meeting tonight and I will start the ball rolling
-
Hope to Steve,have to catch up
-
2015 would be good steve ,maybe they can get the track up to what we are used to at a national meeting ,not something that has to be preped every 5 races
-
Just spoke to MV what a waste of time they said someone should have applied to host the titles but were not sure who but they hope a decision will be made soon.Fu## me and we pay these f/wits
-
I hope it's at a track that hasn't hosted it in recent years, purely to spread the love around a little further. Selfishly, I'd love to see the meeting at either Nepean or Broadford but in the end I really don't care where it is as long as they don't have any dumb tyre restrictions, except for one not allowing 17" wheels unless fitted as original equipment (Husky, IT465 etc). Simple...and solves the problem without penalising racers into buying new tyres. Come on MA, pull your finger out....We've been patient enough, this is getting beyond the joke now.
-
Ditto.
-
Just spoke to MV what a waste of time they said someone should have applied to host the titles but were not sure who but they hope a decision will be made soon.Fu## me and we pay these f/wits
Hmmm...WEM run the MX nationals, Yarrive Konsky runs the roadrace titles....just what the hell do they do down there....?
-
Would be Great to see Vic or SA to host them.as it it is supposed to be in a different state each year. As ACT QLD & NSW have all had one recently . But if its up for grabs Griffith will have a crack.
-
now that would be the place to have them ,great track, great people and under lights.what more could a person ask for.
-
Here we are a week into the second month of 2014 and still have no details of the Classic Dirt Track Nats. As I wrote previously, it's just not good enough, we all have work commitments and time and financial allocations to sort out and with the high number of quality events on the classic program on both the dirt track and motocross side, the Classic Dirt Track Nats stands to lose a fair smattering of potential entries if the details aren't announced pretty damn soon. Classic Dirt is in the same situation but I have an fair idea of the problems they're having in finalising the details for that.
-
Not that I would be riding (except maybe my eyes get better and at Nepean) but I think running it at Grasy's place would be the go, at least the pit area is better and the toilet/shower area is civilised. No complaints from me regarding the officials at either place, both helpful when I was there. cheers pancho.
-
Been told that it will be at Canberra as they are the only club that has applied only thing that's holding things up is that the club did not put a event date on the application things move slow at MA.
-
And it'll probably be another 3 - 4 months till we know exactly what classes will be run.
Be prepared for up to pre 78 only.
-
It's Canberra
-
Do we know when???
-
Is it going to be split
-
Do we know when???
ACTMCC website says 27/28th September ??, I'll talk to the club later today.
Foss
-
Is it going to be split
I'll also get in their ear about that question.
Foss
-
Thanks FOSS
-
Is it going to be split
There's no need to split it. If they were splitting the event one would assume that there would be two tentative dates.
-
Just spoke to ACTMCC Dirt Track, they have NOT been notified, although they have put their hand up, also spoke to MA, Events person not in the office, cannot confirm or deny !!.
Foss
-
This is turning into a farce. How hard is it to get it done if ACT were the only applicant? As far as the ACT club leaving the date off the application, you'd think a phonecall to the club from MA backed up with a covering email would have it sorted within a day...two at the most. This is bureaucracy at its stupidest.
-
How are they expected to do anything when they are swanning around at Phillip Island Superbikes all last weekend.Hang on, that's work isn't it 8)
Wonder how many we'll get to the PCMX at Toowoomba. I'll bet they are chomping at the bit to be there to hand out free piss all Saturday night.

That's exactly the explanation I was given, this morning, for the Event's person not being in the office.
Why am I getting that sinking feeling again ??

NOT VDT
The OZ Modern Dirt Track Championship is pencilled in on MA's calendar fo early June at Taree.
Foss
-
The weather should hopefull be an improvement!
-
Are we there yet???
-
No, not yet Firko.
After speaking to the Events person yesterday, asking the pertinent questions, and being told " Not me ", I was transferred to another person, who told me " This has been going back and forth between the CDT/MX commission and the MA board for months ", asked when would info be forthcoming ?, I was told " The end of the week, maybe".
Foss
-
That's been the same story for the last few years, it seems they don't take us seriously which is disappointing. >:(
-
Yes it is disappointing Slides,
I don't ride anymore so maybe I should stay out of this .
Maybe a few of the top clubs/tracks eg. Griffith, Temora, West Wyalong etc. could get together and run
something along the lines of the CIG. GOLDEN WHEELS of yesteryear which was held in high regard.
Drop the AUST. TITLE tag and you get rid of a lot bullshit from those who are supposed to help. Also more of the proceeds go to each club rather than you know who. A couple of PREMIER CLASSIC DIRT TRACK meetings each year on the best tracks available run by clubs that know would be better than the great unknown which is what you have at the moment.
I might add that I have offered one of my bikes to somebody to ride if something is finally decided upon
so I am involved in a way.
regards Mark
ps.chuck in Broadford as well!!
-
MARK
i am sure those clubs still hold a golden wheels type of rounds
-
Shit-a-brick!!! That sure fired things up. ;)
-
Say's a lot don't it Mark? :o
-
Sometimes I wonder if we can't organise an event with a big title ring that could double as a proxy Aussie title. Call it the Golden Steel Shoe or Hemet Or Wheel. Really, isn't it about getting all and sundry to the biggest meeting of the year and have a hoot of a weekend. The Aussie title status means it costs a heap more and brings out all the MA drama. That way we could control our own destiny. Call it ACD...... Aussie Classic Dirt track, have a non competitive ride day on the Saturday, show and shine and the big race day on Sunday.

Al.
-
No info re comfirmation on either the ACTMCC or MA websites but I guess the question most people want answered is " What classes will be run ?? "
Foss
-
In our local area we still run the Golden Wheels as an inter club challenge Moderns & Classics (Up to 250 & over 250 Pre 85). But I damned if I will go to Canberra for another title on an pathetic surface & slow run meeting (it is like watching paint dry) Good on them for putting in for it but it is not as place I like to ride, Griffith didn't as it is supposed be in a different state each year shame Broadford or Albury didn't but a proposal in.
-
This has dragged on for way too long, I'm over it. I'm more looking forward to chucking some slow old fatboy skids on my 750 at the Broadford Bonanza now. If Canberra has got the nod why haven't we been informed, surely it can't be that hard to fix up some mistakes in the application form. I want to be really positive about this meeting but I'm finding it really hard now. After the Canberra Clubs Classic Motocross Nats fiasco and now this situation one must ask the question of why these fluck ups are happening. None of the Riverina or Queensland clubs seem to suffer these dramas.
-
I am determined to remain positive about this years CDT Aussie titles and was hoping they would be held Interstate on an oil track, or at least on an oil track somewhere.
However, it seems that this years Titles will be at Canberra, so be it. The classes that will be run will be laid out in the Supp Regs, lets hope they are published in the near future.
Firko, it was near the end of July last year before the Supp Regs were available for the 2013 Titles.
Foss
-

Two wrongs don't make a right Foss.........This is unacceptable. With the sup reg problems the Post Classic Motocross Nats has been going through plus this and other fluck ups, to me it seems that MA's bureaucracy has lost its way.
-
I agree this is not acceptable, I was just commenting on the timing.
Foss
-
i'm with Grasy :-*,we crave variety to keep interest levels maxed out ;),geezas i hope it dosen't ra**, err,oops :o,now i've done it, :P
-
In a perfect world we should already know where next years titles are going to be held.
Also the different state each year thing is a bit hard to handle when most of the top tracks are in
NSW. which are also more geographically friendly to most I would think. Of course you still have top tracks
like Maryborough QLD, Broadford VIC, etc. which come into the equation but the majority are in NSW.
As for classes,... I reckon the slider classes would be pretty easy.
Up to 250cc. Up to 500cc 2 valve upright. Up to 500cc 4 valve upright. Simple.
cheers Mark
ps. just a thought ;)
-
All I would like is an approved date. In my job I have to give 6 months notice to get leave. If it's September I'll need to know pretty soon or some beauracrat will just be sending my Long Service Leave application back stamped not accepted.

Just heard from ACTMCC and they tell me that MA has officially awarded them the 2014 Australian CLASSIC Dirt Track Titles to be held on the 27th/ 28th September, it's not a long weekend, however it's in the school holidays. I hope the Supp Regs come out shortly, the Club tells me that they applied for the Classic titles only.
Gotta get the Gally XT sorted for this one !!
Foss
-
At last......... ;D
-
So much for no split . Pitty they never let people know eairler , another club may have put in for the post classic . I think its time classic dirt track comm had a good look at all these age groups in both pre75 and evo as there is never enough entries , it seems to put clubs off running both .If they are going to keep going down this track how about opening up pre78 so that pre75 can ride up a class ?
-
aarrrggghhh zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz aaaarrrrggggghhhhhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,fork me, here we go again ::), :P
-
Can my 1977 Godden Mk 1 Weslake run in the Pre 78 0pens as there is not a category for Pre 78 sliders? Even happy to run in with the Pre 75s and not be scored but can't see that happening. Seems weird that I could have bought a 77 440 Maico and ride it at the classic dt, but can't enter my slider?
If it has to run Pre 90 at a Post Classic then it can just stay in the shed.
Rosco86

rosco
if its a pre 78 bike ie 1977 build you can run in the pre78 open class.unless the gcrs from the club say you cant but ma rules say you can.

Thanks for the replies I was staring to get pissed Id spent a few thousand in the wrong direction. At 56 just want a ride and certainly won't be at the pointy end. Been in mx, dt and speedway since 73 and in VMX since 92, and it just all seems way harder now with all the rules. Guess I can start working on the rear sprocket cover now! Hahaha

How are the preparations going at Canberra for the 2014 titles? Just thought I'd ask as this
thread seems to have shit it's self. The bloke from Temora last year kept everybody up to date
with proceedings. A bit of interest and feed back would be good. Might even try and hitch a ride
up to watch the Mexicans kick some arse!!

Hope some more girls come on board and enjoy the racing, April will also be riding at the Nepean meeting in August.

Another 'ol mate Rod Watts tried his new outfit out at the ''Pines'' on the weekend in preparation for the bigun.

Rosco,
Your Godden Weslake should qualify for pre '78 and be very competitive. It would also be very
competitive in pre '90!!! There is a bloke that rides one down here and it is fast. Very fast!
Also getting on to slider classes,... especially up to 500cc 4 stroke, I still think that 2 valve upright and
4 valve upright is the way to go. Also no leading link forks. Simple.

Hallelujah brother.
-
Amen to that !
-
Good to see Super Seniors included, with no minimum starters. Hope they get a good turnout. What bikes are allowed in? I think whatever the riders want to ride, including sliders.
Also an unlimited pre '78 class slider event would be good.
cheers pancho.
-
The rule was pre 75 I think Walter but if its a pre78 meeting then that's what it should be.
Looking forward to a weekend away from the Syd shitfight.
-
Super Senior is an all powers pre 75 class, sliders included but for a National it is pre 75.
its a no minimum number class out of respect for the guys wanting to ride or race or just parade their bike off a start line - everyone also gets the Gold MA medallion for competing 1st to last place.
It was hoped that an event like the SS Class would encourage a rider to be involved; the thinking being it is a way to participate for the senior guys without the need to prove how good they were anymore :)
Im sure there is some crusty old DT guy out there with his bike who would get as much as a kick out of being in his gear in the pits and having a punt rather than sitting on a stool watching!
-
Yep, you got it in one, 211, just getting the leathers on and being there, on the right side of the fence for a change would be great, But you try conning my missus, EA, into letting me have a bit of a skid on me slider !!!, Doesn't matta, I'll be doing the starts at the Titles and havin' a ball anyway !!
Foss
-
You aint quite a Super Senoir yet anyway Foss, keep your powder dry. ;)
-
Yeah, I know, 6 months short, eh ? Steve but I could've got a start at Nepean this Sundy and EA wouldn't have a bar of that even !! See ya there on Sunday anyway.
Foss
-
brother
you could always sneak out on my triumph.its not that powerfull.
-
Impossible to "SNEAK" anywhere on your Trumpy Jim, will you be making an appearence on the weekend?
-
Hmmm, Jim what an idea !!!!, No, NOOOOOOO, bugger
Foss
-
The Griffith Mafio's are coming Snr & Jnr Don & apprentices are going be warned. ;D
-
Just seen a report on ACTMCC FB page, she's all off.
-
Heard a rumor!! not oz but NSW classic dirt track at Nepean ??? 2014.
Fingers and toes to be crossed. :)
-
No reaction?
bumpity bump!
-
Sorry Wal, generally I ignore rumours but I've heard it too. Let's hope it's a goer. ;D
-
Not a rumour Steve. Things are looking good for this event but we are still in the early planning stage. I will update more when I have confirmed news.
Cheers
Shaun
-
Temora ,Penrith & Griffith have all thought about trying to run the event, but it is just to much work for any of us to get thru to make it a profitable & successful venture.
My personal thought is that ACT should have asked Temora for the entry forms for last years 2013 titles & mailed an entry form to all the prospective riders as not everyone can search or has the ability to search the internet for the event. As we did (GMSC) in 2010 approached Barleigh Ranch.
-
There are only a few tracks, OILED, that could possibly host a combined event.
I know I'll cop some flack over this but I feel it's time for our sport to move forward.
It's a natural progression that more classes will be introduced so I can't see a problem.
If I had one bike and paid top dollar to enter a 2 day "Title" event and thenonly got 3-4 rides I'd feel wripped off and be reluctant to get involved again.
We need to embrace the split or die.
-
if you only had 1 bike the most you can get is 4 rides
say a gold star bsa 500
pre65
pre70
pre75 open
pre75 four stroke
maybe your age group as well over 50 pre75 open
thats why i have a 250 as well
i didnt enter as they are all broken and pulled apart in the shed
jim
-
That would equate to 20-25 rides per meeting.
What I meant was Jim, worst case, if you were a 35yo who rode a pre78 500 you should hope to get 4 rounds and a final.
Entry fees and overall costs are huge so I don't think it isn't much to ask.
-
get it now the pre78 bikes
yes you need a second bike
sorry steve
-
All good Jimbo.
How many rides did you manage to squeeze in at Griffith?
-
way tooooooooooooooooooo many but was great
pre75 250
pre75 500
pre78 125
evo 125
and i think 1 more 125 class
with 3 bikes
thats what needs to happen pre78 needs evo and/or pre85 to get extra rides
ps havent riden my yz125x since
jim
-
The 2013 titles at Temora ran Evo and Pre 85s from the Post Classics AS POST CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP CLASSES as well as Pre 78 and earlier, this was put to MA for this year, no go, Classic or Post Classic or both with added cost, was how it had to be. I agree with Grasy re the entry forms, some-times the older ways are better.
Foss
-
It is interesting that apparently the reason Canberra wasn't Classic and Post Classic is because MA wanted double the permit fee if it was to be that way. Can someone confirm that, that was the case?
Also did ACTMCC get the permit fee back?
The administration has changed at MA so maybe they will now be a bit more flexible.
Clearly the Classic Dirt Track Championships should be Classic and Post Classic together. Also MA and the commission need to make sure Classic Aust Champs don't clash. Allowing the Historic Road Race Champs to be on the same weekend is just not sensible.
While the split appears to work for Motocross, even at this stage of the year there appears to be no news RE who will run the Post Classic Championships next year. It needs to be early in the year so Post and Classic are a reasonable distance apart, at least four months apart.
This is just my opinion but it needs to be sorted out ASAP.

Slidez the new surface material used at Nepean can now be used with much less watering as it does not produce dust, from all reports.When I rode on it at the charity 2day it was grossley overwatered (in my and others opinion) BUT even though it looked sloppy it was not slippy I found, in fact to me it felt a bit like Griffith soft oily. When the watering procedure is perfected and with good support from riders and helpers I feel that NMSC could run the event. Bring it on!
-
Agreed Puncho, the new surface looks to be a positive step forward on track management.
I want to see Nepean kick arse just as much as anyone else.
-
There is no way any club could run the 2014 titles at these late stage it is OK to say lets do it,But of all the posters whom of you have ever tried to promote an the Titles ,I personally have it took about 8 weeks off work & loss of income. Thankfully the club made a profit.
I seem to follow this site & hope to see some positive things, but the comments about the Penrith track on the Charity weekend about over watering leave me thinking you jokers are just a bunch of whingers. That track was superb!!!! Maybe have a crack at riding & not typing. I am gone from this site .
-
Bit harsh Dave, I can't see where Nepean has been criticised.
The rumour mentioned is that several of Nepeans member clubs are attempting to hold a NSW Classic Title meeting, like they did for the Post Classics a few years ago.
Wally does ride but I don't.

Don't go Grasy! If you look again what I said was it looked slippy but wasn't. With one thing or another things went a bit haywire for me on the day, if I'd settled in for a few more laps I would have worked it out and had MORE fun!
-
[quote My personal thought is that ACT should have asked Temora for the entry forms for last years 2013 titles [/quote]
This was done Grasy, I know it was 'cos I got it for the ACTMCC myself. Believe me , we tried but the blockage was down South, to add to that the Akubra Classic and the Historic RR titles were given permits for the same weekend FFS.
As far as commitment to the sport goes, EA and I plus 7 others started a club in 1996, which is still going, out of our own pockets, WE paid for the first track inspection and licence and the first books of day licences, we ran the club for 10 years, during that time I nearly lost my life twice, once due to a race accident and once with a heart attack due to the stress of running the club. An accident at an Enduro that I was organizing for the club cost me the ability to earn a living, permanently, it was three years before I could walk properly. Commitment ? yeah we know about that as we still help the sport where we can !

Nepean track at the Classic weekend was MAGIC, and I"ve never liked the track............can't wait for 5 October...... 8) ;D

Hi Shaun
Any further news ? Also, where were you last Sunday ?
Cheers
Alvin
-
Unfortunately no good news Dave.
We just don't have the time and manpower required to put on a meeting to the standard that we would like so the decision has been made to abandon the plan.
We will be having a calendar meeting early December so now is a good time for anyone wishing to see Nepean hold such an event next year to get in touch.
I think there would be support for us to host a state title meeting but we would need to get a group of keen individuals on board to see it happen.
Cheers

MA and all the other controlling bodies need to become more organised.
I know it aint easy but there needs to be more communication between club, state & national.
There needs to be a national event register set up in conjunction with your syate controlling body.
It'll never be perfect but I think todays riders rely on the flexibility available.
" In the good old days " Mail your entry in in time or forget about it.
-
That s what the Commissions and Sub Committees in each State should be doing. They are there to advise MA Staff on matters relating to their discipline. The staff can't be expected to know everything going on or what effect date clashes may have. Don't blame MA staff, blame the Commissions and SCB committees.
-
Def not blaming MA staff, just thinking out loud.
It's no ones fault.
-

I don't agree. The commission should have spotted that the Historic Road Race Championships and Classic Dirt Track Championships were on the same weekend and done something about it. They should also point out to MA that while Classic MX works with Post Classic and Classic separate it does not work for Classic Dirt Track. I believe Classic and Post Classic Dirt Track should be run together and the permit fee should not be double.
What works MX may not work for DT.
-
Yes I agree,.... the fee should NOT be doubled if you run both together!
-
Um, okay, so its the fault of the volunteers on the commision ??? :-\
They should be ashamed of themselves and stand down immediately ;)
I do agree that they shouldn't double up on the fee.
