Title: Classic Dirt 12, 10-13 June Conondale
Post by: NSR on March 20, 2016, 10:54:11 pm
 
Classic Dirt 12 Is on at Conondale on the 10-13th of June.  The Tracks at CD11 were some of the best and to make them even better we have already started work on the Enduro and MX tracks.  The Grass Track will be smooth and fast.

Your got to be kidding don't ya?
Have you ever been to a CD? at Conondale?

There is twenty million tons of accommodation and venues down the road from Conondale at some Beautiful Dappa village that I forget the name off,
but if the Hollywood crew knew of it, they would be hanging out there.

Your friends and rellos can hang there after your wedding.
Don't worry about the wedding, I don't like weddings anyhow, just receptions. So,oooo
You can extended party all weekend at the Conondale "Maggoo Bar"
The only chance you have of keeeping her with the Tony program,
 is to start things right on the Tony program in the beginning, so see ya at the Maggoo bar.
Heck I will even buy you and your beloved a decent pressy!

What an opportunity, show her some pics of CD10 and CD11. What an awsome place for a Honeymoon.

Haha. I like it Mick. Lemme float it tonight and report back tomorrow. if you don't hear from me you can assume I have my jaw wired shut.

But in all seriousness seeing as how the wedding is on the 4th, I had considered selling her on the idea of a nice quiet romantic week at Maleny for the honeymoon.

Imagine my surpirse when we get there and find out that CD is on that weekend too. Just need to work out an excuse for taking a bike on the trailer as we leave the reception.

I'll take your bike home with me after the wedding (tell her it's just on loan till the next weekend). Then when you rock up to CD12 and I'm flogging the be-jesus out of it, I can just drop the old "would ya like to ave-a-go off youse bike mate!"..............she'll be nun the wiser  ;)

Broc Glover for Classic Dirt 12!!

Six-time AMA National Motocross Champ Broc Glover has been confirmed by Yamaha Australia as a definite starter at Classic Dirt 12. What an absolute legend to have at the event, he's the winningest Yamaha rider in US Motocross history. As well, Broc is a really down to earth guy and he will love having a chat to all his Aussie fans at Classic Dirt. He's still damn fast on a dirt bike and will be out on the track on Saturday for the Legends Laps session. Stay tuned, there may be even more exciting news in days to come.

Heikki Mikkola for Classic Dirt 12!!

You read that correctly, as well as Broc Glover, Yamaha Australia is bringing Heikki Mikkola out from Finland for Classic Dirt, to help celebrate Yamaha's 60th anniversary. Heikki, known as the 'Flyin' Finn', won four World Motocross Championships, two of them being with Yamaha, in 1977 and 1978. They were both in the 500cc class and indeed, Heikki gave Yamaha their very first 500cc World Motocross Championship. He had won two World Championships previously, with Husqvarna, in 1974 and 1976 and was the first rider to win World Motocross Championships in both the 250cc and 500cc classes.

Heikki is a motocross superstar, right up there with the likes of DeCoster and Robert, and it will be just sensational to have him with us at Classic Dirt 12. With Mikkola and Broc Glover, this is going to be one hell of an event! A huge thanks to Yamaha Australia for making this possible.

I can't understand what you are complaining about.  The sup-regs and simple entry form just helps getting it all organised.  Try organising something with 600 riders and probably twice as many bikes and then see if you think it is necessary.

Had the same problem last night .... you have to tick Spectator even though you are an entrant for some mad reason.
It automatically adds a recreational license fee then deducts it in check out ...   WTF
$110-oo plus  green park levy of $5-oo total should be $115-oo
for each spectator add another $20-oo per person 
Talk about collecting your  personal details ... they can get farked .... just put 000 in fields.

I agree, it's over the top, but that's the way of the world. In fact as far as somethings go, it's lucky it's not worse. (Here is the high Vis gear I promise to wear at all times!")

This is a standard entry form these days.
I record all the details (Drs details etc) on a piece of paper. Helps speed it up each time. You can make a lot of it up if that suits.

The only two glitches I came up against were:
The first entry is for printing out. Click "agree" and "next" and you get an online form.
As mentioned, it won't accept blank for spectators. I typed "Na".

The whole thing took 5 mins.
I think you can pay on the day? If there are any spaces left.

News flash Slakewell.
We all just want to ride our bikes and drink beer with our mates. ;)
Fill in the crappy form, pay $115 (if you have a competition Licence) and come and ride, drink beer, and thank our lucky stars someone else is organizing this great track/event for us!

Have a Beer Mick and go through the process you know it will be worth it  :D

Kev has tried to explain in his usual hand grenade way  ::) I find it a pain in the arse to but im sure the VMX team wouldn't have gone down that road if it wasnt necessary .

It seems more and more events over your way are using this system, like Stew says its flawed in so much as you cannot think like a MXer when trying to navigate it you have to think like a robot  ::)

Thats why Kev embraces it   ;D

Not sure my reason for last unconscious reason being 2 bottles of red is relevant as well. 

Why is it? I can go hire a motorcycle in some far off country and then ride it thou 5 other countries in 2 weeks and fill out less/easier forms than to ride at CD?

Sorry for your misery, we didn’t mean it.  You could just ask how to fill it out.  I have trouble filling out things on line all the time.  As you can see people have come on here to help.  This is normally used for competition that's why you have to fill in the what bike section it does not matter what you put in there.

The Personal detail are not to sell!  They are collected to help if you get hurt.  You get hurt, your number or in CDs case your name is radioed to the race sec who looks it up presses print and there is all your Personal and medical details.  No bad hand writing, misspelt names and wrong PH numbers.  Believe me they make sure that form is with you for the trip to the hospital.       
People seem to forget while this event is on every one of you are the responsibility of a handful of people. The people collecting this info could not careless about this info until YOU need it.     

How cool is this?  Heikki Mikkola and Broc Glover are coming to Classic Dirt!!

Small price to pay that 3 minutes you prob wouldn't do a lap of the pre 78 and open track in that time .unless u r a pro.

Hi Guys, special request.  I'm putting this out there in the hope that someone has a very special jersey.  Just got off the phone with Mike Landman #ML45, Yamaha legend of the 70's & 80's.  He recently restored his 1978 YZ400E that Brent Landman and I got for him.  Mike is chasing a Yamaha Motocraft Jersey from back in the day.  He is willing to pay for it.  If you have one, or know of someone who has one, please contact me.  Mike wants it in time for Classic Dirt 12 Yamaha's 60th anniversary in Qld in June.  Cheers Gaz...bring it to CD12 and share if you could ..cheers

  I still have a few shocky spring compessers ($25) and some degree wheels ($10) left, so they will be for sale up at CD.  If your interested look me up I won't be hard to find.

    The fees for a spectator are listed in the VMX mag as being a flat $20 a head for 1 day or 3 days with camping included.  This has to be the deal of the year for us who no longer ride but still enjoy the bikes and catching up with mates for a beer or three.  Well done to all of the organisers.  After travelling 10 to 12 hours it's good not to get slugged with a big admittance fee, makes what looks like being a great weekend even better.
   Now I suppose someone will tell me that I have read it wrong and the entry is much higher.

weather on the Sunny coast at the moment is pissing down. Tomorrow is suppose to be worse with flooding and high winds in case no one sees the news.. this all means the water truck wont be required at conondale.
Sunday its suppose to start clearing and drying out with clear sunny days during the week and not too cold at night. doesnt sound like conondale in winter at all .

next weekend is suppose to be... Clear and sunny 8)

Hopefully it'll be cool and they'll be able to sell some firewood. Always a good idea to spend some dollars with the local groups who are putting on food and drink at events around the place.

most of the swaps are usually done at the camp sites. Some will be in the central area but most you will need to do a good walk around. it makes sense for the guys as they dont want to be away from their stuff or their camp unless they are riding.

G'day viewers a quick question as I'm not sure if you can pay & ride on the day, as I know you can pre pay. But as I'm one that lives week to week will not know how much I have in cash until the day is here. Probably sounds strange to some, but some body has to be the peasant lol jimson

Post by: pokey on June 08, 2016, 09:38:53 pm
well you maybe able to Jimson. thats a yes unless they get booked out for riders. also i think its $20 cheaper if you do it online and if your on a tight budget that could be a factor. cheers.


CD12 entries close midnight Wednesday
Online entries to CD12 via Nominate.com.au close at midnight this Wednesday the 8th. Please enter online if you are planning on riding at the event. There will be some opportunity to still enter at the track (see Peter Bell in the control tower) but it is much more preferable if you enter online. However, if the entries reach the cutoff by Wednesday night then there won't be any opportunity to enter at the track but at this stage it looks feasible.

   Broc Glover came down to our camp on Sunday to have a closer look at my Dot, he spotted it as he rode by after a demo lap.  He ended up staying there for almost an hour, just like one of the boys and a real motorcycle enthusiast with a good knowledge and affection for the older bikes.
    He wanted to take the Dot for a ride ( one more off his bucket list he said ) but wouldn't you know the bastard would not start, so he settled for a sit on it.  While he was there he had a few photos taken with a couple of the boys then had to leave to go and fill some of his commitments.  A really nice bloke and interesting to talk to.

I always try and support the pro photographers:
1. They make me look good!
2. It encourages them back.
3. I spend about a million bucks to ride - the pics will help when Alzheimer's sets in, so a few dollars more seems worth it to me.
