I guess this is the place to ask silly Questions from reading the sup regs.
Q1
No Knobbies Allowed over 85cc/150cc Juniors"
I assume this only applies to the rear tyre ?
Q2
If i have an XT /TT 500 that I intend to enter in the championship classes
Do I have to pay the extra $80.00 to enter it in the support class or just an extra $20.00 for an additional class?
Cheers
Noel

Howdy Guys,
Have had a quick glance at supp regs for upcoming Dirt Track Nats at Canberra and it would seem that there is someting there for everyone (title & support) so I guess it's up to us now.
-
Hi Noel, no knobby tyres over 85cc/150cc is rear only, front is ok
once entered a championship class, your second, third, fourth classes are only $20.00 extra
If like a enquiry I had today, I entered in the xt/tt 500 support class it would cost $80.00 plus $20.00 for each extra support class I enter, not my $80.00 for the support class plus $20.00 per extra championship class, hope this helps
ACTMCC wish to advise also the championship class cost is expensive due to ambulance and permit costs for this event, the ambulance and paramedic costs for this event is 3 grand alone

I've just posted up a Word document with some info about accommodation in the area.

-
Yep, I'll be there. Entry in the mail soon. Track was looking good yesterday when I went out there, it should be a great show alright. I heard you were thinking of a show and shine on the Saturday Pat? I'm sure plenty of the guys coming along would have some nice looking restos to show off, even if they are race bikes. Heck, even my TM is pretty shiny still.
Let's hope we get at least as good a rollup as last year's event at Wagga!
-
hopeing for a good rollup to this years event, we have been working hard at the complex, everything coming together, we will be putting down more granite over the coming weeks
-
I rode the Dirt track on the week end and I can see the thing are

-
Banging Bars all Day .
Do they do that at the back of the pack too :P :D
Only joking 555, youll get that new guersey soon, sending mine in tommorrow, looking forward to it ;)
-
What are the dates for practice and club days prior to this meeting?
-
Not sure about practice days, there must be at least one more. Next club race day is 3 August, I am trying real hard to have the TM on the track in time for that.
-
Well, it's now just a few weeks until the 2008 Classic DT Championships here in Canberra. The local club have been putting a lot into this event with particular attention to making the track just right on the day. It should be a top weekend - it's a fun track to ride and spectators have a great view from the top of the circuit.
From what I've heard, entries have been pretty slow. Remember, closing date is only a week away (14th August), so you should get into gear and send that entry away right now. You can download the supp regs/entry from the DT Championships page here: http://www.ozvmx.com/whatson/08-dt-nats.htm
By the way, if you don't have a national licence and want to use a one day competition licence, you'll need to get the paperwork in asap as MA require 21 days to process. If you add that to post times and other admin overheads it means you probably need to send in your entry and application right now to avoid things going pear shaped.
Even I (notoriously late enterer) am going to enter today. Haven't got a going bike yet, but hey, whats a national event without getting the bike finished the night before? My big question is, do I have any competition in the Pre 75 125cc stakes? Now, given my DT riding ability extends to being able to actually complete most of the laps in a race, and I am on a TM125 that has so many things changed on it that I have no idea if it'll even go, I'm kinda hoping for no other entries. Anyone racing in that class?
I guess that Mr Meyers will be riding in every class they have, so he *might* be a source of competition. I'll make a public plea - Dennis, wear a NEW jersey!!! I have photos from races in 2002 where you were wearing that rotten old blue one.
Wish I'd kept one of my TT500s, I'd love to have a ride in the support class too. Still, it'll be good to see a whole bunch of the old thumpers out there on the track. Any takers for that class?
By the way, I've heard they are trying to organise decent temperatures for the day. Hope they have some luck with that!!!
-
Hi Pat
Rang Darylene today to enquire about riding up a class before sending in entry i.e. can pre 70 Maico 250 ride with Pre 75 250 and Pre 78 400 ride in pre 85 open, hoping its allowed but guessing its not :-\
Regards
Ross
-
I'll be bringing the XT500 for pre'78 and support races
as well as the pre'78 CR125,
unfortunately may not have the pre'75 250 back together after doing yet another gearbox at CRC,
Cheers
Noel
-
So the racing is only on sunday ? how many races per class ? and sat is just for practice yes ?
I just bought an ambo ( i think) , so im committed to go if i can get it back to SA in time, ill bring a 250 Flat tracker, the TM250 and either a 360 or 500 mxer.
Whats the next step do i need accomadaton or you think il last then night in the van ( or is it shit cold over there ?
-
Not sure about the program - the regs say practice and racing both days. Maybe Pat will clarify?
Next step? Send in your entry, then come on over. Accommodation is up to you, plenty of places to stay right near the track, camp over if you are real tough (it's cold at nights - probably anything from 0 to -4).
There's a link to some accommodation info on the DT Nats page:
