Title: Queensland Classic/ Post Classic 2015 Championship
Post by: supersenior 50 on May 05, 2015, 09:54:29 pm
The Queensland Classic/post Classic Championship, will be held at Harrisville on 13/14 June.
This is the weekend following CD11, so interstate and country visitors can do both.
Free camping. Free bike storage for those who do CD11 and the Championship.
Track given the stamp of approval by Australia's fastest veteran VMX  rider and Queenslands oldest legend, (and everyone in between.)
So, tick the boxes, great track, free camping, social activities, $70 entry, great trophies, friendly host club, repair facilities on site.
Forget about all the Evo negativity, ain't going to be allowed to spoil this event. Got an Evo bike that passed at Echo Valley, Bendigo, or last year's Qld title (or complies ) and you are in. In fact Evo is the featured class this year and will be rewarded as such.
Covers all the comments recently aired, so just participate and all will be good.

Can I still cruise around and finish a lap early, cross the line in what appears to be a place and live the dream in my head??
Coz I just want to have fun!!!

Oh, and I mean no malice to anyone or to any club, just to point that out, just like to have a ride and would be a great opportunity to ride with some different folks, hopefully from a broader spectrum given CD is so close.

Also, lastly, are you riding Col, cos I get a kick out of riding around with a man of your caliber and longevity.

Nearly, Yes I am the gumby FB at the back of the pack having a great time (usually)

Cheers,
Kim 8) ;D

I'll accept the "longevity" compliment (I think ??) but the capability was sorely tested after my one and a half with pike at Nudgee.
Certainly we can finish you a lap early so you look famous, it's just a matter of how much money you've got.

TV icons and all round good guys Blokesworld are coming to the Queensland Championships and not only filming the whole event but competing as well. If you want a career in film and television this could be your big breakthrough.

I was really hoping to get up to QLD for this one and even bring my EVO along as I know there will be no dramas with no zealots trying to cause shitfights......Just good old fun on old bikes  8)

However, I have been reminded that this year is our 10th Anniversary, I'm turning 50, she turning 40,  and rightly so, she wants to celebrate those milestones with a holiday just for us. No bikes. No dogs. So off we go on a 2 week sight see of the outback. Coober Pedy, Uluru, Alice Springs and wherever else takes our fancy.

Have fun people!

Great to welcome Lucas Oils as Naming sponsor for the Qld Titles.
We must be as famous as the AMA/World Supercross having the same sponsor

Lucas Oils are not the naming rights sponsor of the AMA Supercross Championships, a FIM World Championship.  Monster Energy is.

The AMA Motocross Championships however are sponsored by Lucas Oils, they are not the World MX Championships.

Ah, Kev, I should have known a tongue in cheek approach would have drawn you in.
"World Supercross Championship was conceived 2003, merged with AMA series prior to 2008 season"
"Lucas Oils Pro Motocross Championship 2015"
Lucas Oils Stadium hosted Indianapolis World/AMA Supercross round March 2015.
Lucas Oils Classic and Post Classic Championship hosted by the Brisbane MCC at Harrisville on 13/14 June.
If you find any other little things that offend you, please ensure you air them on the public forum so all may share your concerns.
In the meantime the Sup regs are available on the Brisbane MCC website. Entries can be mailed to me or emailed and signed and paid at sign on

Is that something similar to the Conondale thing Kev which was a World championship event that turned into a challenge or the FIM sanctioned event that isn't .

Hmm, US pro Maico rider ? Has the makings of a good MX trivia question . It could be the Texan, Steve Stackable, or Mickey Kessler, Darrel Schultz or Carlos Serrano (although I think he was Mexican ?).

Post by: supersenior 50 on May 26, 2015, 01:03:36 pm
Good idea Husky, I'll keep the hints going and first one to get it right gets a prize at the Qld titles
Hint 2 went from MX to Nascar.

Post by: Husky500evo on May 26, 2015, 01:44:56 pm
I don't know of any other MX riders that went to Nascar, other than Ricky Carmichael, but he would be far too young to have ridden a Maico. Maybe Jeff Ward tried Nascar, but I am not sure if he ever rode a Maico back in the day either.

Did he ever have any notoriety? He said he got a factory Maico ride in '81 but blew his knee out and it was all over.
Title: Re: Queensland Classic/ Post Classic 2015 Championship
Post by: supersenior 50 on May 26, 2015, 08:57:18 pm
Brad he was on CZ and then Maico from about "74 until '81. He turned pro at about 18, and retired with injuries at 24. He won both motos in the 500 Pro Class at Saddleback in '81 on Maico. He is better known as a movie stuntman, and is currently working on the Pirates of the Carribean movie, and returns to California in July (depending on Johny Depp's carryings on)
We are trying to set up a talk with him on Sat evening of the Qld C'ship and I'm sure will be open to questions.
He will do a couple of match races with a Brisbane MCC rider of similar age and both on 490 Maicos at Harrisville.
He had his first ride last weekend at Harrisville and says he had a ball, loved the track and the friendliness of the locals.
Trivia questions closed, his name Will Harper,

Qld titles will be run as per the MOMs. If your bike conforms to any class therein, you're sweet.
Evo rule is unchanged, that is same as last year, same as Echo Valley and Bendigo.

You are right Popeye, I am president and that's why I get the big bucks. All I'm saying is the sup regs state the event. If anyone has a specific question and is planning to ride I'm happy to answer off forum.

Might not do much as hard to organise and ride (as you know), but thinking CZ for Pre 65 to make up the numbers, AW for Supersenior, and maybe?? Honda/Maico. Maybe one moto on each depending on how it goes.

Only a few days to close of entries. Peewee track, face painting, massage, beautifull girls, Bad Brad's Leanne's debut gig with her coffee van, ice cream truck, etc etc. You can even ride your bike on a great Classic track.

any news on entries??
and might the circuit be made wider for the event?
Just thinking we might now have 5 or 6 sidecars at about the same speed this year, calculating who's on with whom and how they get out the gate etc....could cause some anxious moments.

Its a shame Rob Smith was away with his TT , you couldn't pick a winner its that close, and hats of to the guy on the yellow TT that through its chain smashed his crank cases.Poor bugger worked till 11pm Saturday night to have her back on the start line for Sunday, and won that race.

Yes the meeting was fantastic and owe a big thank you to Greg Mitchell. The rain. Saturday also helped, but without Greg's effort Saturday afternoon/evening the track would not have been as good as it was Sunday. Also thank you Utia (I hope I spelt it correct) for the meal Saturday night it was great.

As for the Four Stroke of the fourteen listed in the program for the Pre 90 4/- class, only eight started in the races. The Pre 75 4/- had three starters. That is the facts. It is always easy to distort the facts.
Title: Re: Queensland Classic/ Post Classic 2015 Championship
Post by: JohnnyO on June 17, 2015, 10:43:27 am
There were only 7 or 8 entries in pre 75 125, pre 78 125, pre 78 250, pre 85 125 so that is a good showing for the 4 strokes by comparison.

there was only 7 sidecars too, but the racing was awesome which ever way you looked at it.
