The program for 2014 will again centre on Vintage Motocross which is the main focus of the Heaven VMX Club. The 2014 Heaven VMX program will be an eight ( 8 ) round series of race meetings. We will still have our ‘Trophy’ events being the CRC, EVO Challenge and Canowindra Cup. The draft calendar as it currently stands. Note: some details are still unconfirmed
1/2 March Rd1 Cessnock washed out
29/30 March Rd2 Canberra washed out
3/4 May Rd3 / Gloucester River TT – Pre65/70 Gloucester (confirmed)
14/15 June Rd4 – CRC - Pre65/70 Bulahdelah
19/20 July Rd1 rescheduled Cessnock (EVO Challenge)
16/17 August Rd5 – (Rd2 resheduled) Canberra (confirmed)
6/7 Sept Rd6 Clarence (still NOT confirmed)
4/5 Oct Rd7 / Canowindra Cup – Pre65/70 Canowindra (confirmed)
1/2 Nov Rd8 / Heaven GP Lakes (NOT confirmed)
There are a couple of new events/venues for 2014. Round 1 will be at Cessnock Minibike Club track. This is a modern track without being too modern as to make it difficult for our older bikes. It has obstacles and a style of track a little like Lakes, Glenbawn and Canberra. It will reward rider technique while being safe for all standards or rider. It adds variety to our program and another option if riders enjoy the track.
The Gloucester event should be a cracker. The local rotary club are holding a Motorcycle Expo in the Main Street and showground area. Last year they ran a display ride of VMX bikes and some of our members attended. This year they are very keen to hold a VMX grass track meeting in the showground as part of their whole weekend of motorcycle activities so the whole event should be fantastic. More details later.
The Vinduro dates are now settled and are as follows
15/16 March Bulahdelah
24/25 May Canowindra
12/13 July Bulahdelah
23/24 August Canowindra / possibly Bathurst
25/26 October Gloucester
Any questions [email protected]
Should be a great season 8) ;)

The club will also run three or possibly four Vinduros. The dates are not yet finalised as they need to fit in with property owner plans. We intend to run at locations including Canowindra, Bathurst, Gloucester/Bulahdelah and Canberra

Great work Greg

Great Thanks Greg I will be at most rounds.

Just a reminder for riders to keep in mind that the rear sprocket guard is required again in 2014
Reading rule 16.15.4.4 indicates that it is required.

I'm looking forward to the Gloucester weekend and might (with some luck) debut the Hindall Ducati pre 65er. HEAVEN continues to give punters from all divisions what they want and deserve our full support. The Roy East pre 65 series is a huge leap of faith by HEAVEN to help these old machines in the public eye and on the track. With the club pushing the pre 65 (and pre 70) cause I hope as many of us can support the series starting with Gloucester and moving on to the Buladelah round and finally Canowindra. Remember the old saying...."if you don't use it you lose it" so lets support the series that supports us if only to keep old bikes as a relevant part of VMX.

After the discussion on another thread with regard to this very issue it appears that things are as clear as mud regarding the rear sprocket guard requirement. Stay posted and maybe we can get it clarified.

The calendar at the top of thread has been updated.
The date in July for Mr VMX has now been filled by rescheduling the washed out Rd1 at Cessnock. This meeting will also now be the EVO Challenge meeting.
The date in August at Glenbawn has been relocated to Canberra. We have been notified by the Upper Hunter Club that the redevelopment is running behind schedule and there was only a very remote chance that the track would be completed by August. The club indicated they would prefer to withdraw their track from our program until 2015. This is the first year for a long time that we will not visit the track. It will return in 2015
The Clarence date has still not been confirmed at this time so will keep you informed. Sorry for the changes but mother nature and other causes outside our control have exerted their presence.
