I hear ya Wotto, but I am only offering information on the way for it to happen from this point on. We cannot change what has happen in the past, we can only work with what we have at the moment.
I totally agree with Shoey in regards to the forward planning and long term viability.
I personally ( my view only and in no way speaking for the current committee ) beleive that Pre 90 will become part of the HEAVEN clubs format but not sure when. Again, THIS IS ONLY MY VIEW.

At the end of the day, Pre 90 for the HEAVEN club is up to the clubs members. If the members decide that they want Pre 90 included in the race format ( remebering that any bike can be ridden on the Saturday Rec rides ), then they can make it happen by following the process as set out in the clubs constitution. All it needs is somebody ( or a group of people ) to be the driving force behind it to make it happen.

Wotto,
Entries officially closed yesterday evening but still taking them. Even with the late notification etc there are still good entries so far. Certainly nothing like what we had last year ( they were ecxceptional circumstances ). There will be some entries that will still roll in up until friday night I am sure and even on the morning of the event.   
As for the program, it is still the same as originally posted. This is the format that was decided upon for this years event but who know's what format next years committee shall adopt and what the classes will be?
Cheers
Dan

Yeah, it fits into the age race category. This may change depending on entry numbers though. If any classes end up combined due to entry numbers ( and no issue of riders wishing to ride both classes), we may slip another race in. All depends on entries recieved. Cheers.

Guys,
The entry forms have been sent to the administrator to upload onto the net and also email out to members so hopefully that will happen over the next couple of days. If not, I shall start to email out entry forms to members or any potential new members that wish to attend the race.
I take on board all feedback regarding the format and appreciate it. Thanks.
Dan

Wotto,
I hear ya but with the Evo Challenge last year, there were a number of factors I think that lead to the down turn in numbers for the event. Problem with combining classess is that there are a number of guys riding two or more classes in the same era. Lakes has been a very popular track for HEAVEN riders over the last couple of years and I believe that there will be a heathly amount of entries in each trophy class. We shall just have to see as the entries roll in and then make a call. Hope to see you there. Cheers.

Roger Middlebrook was our WA guest. Top bloke, had a great weekend on the bikes, came on Friday and assisted with set-up and marking out the track. Roger also fixed up the clutch on Carl's Matchless Mettise so that I could have a ride in the Pre 65. Roger can certainly ride a Mettise and he also had his first experience on a jap two stroke for the weekend.!
A big thanks to our sponsors for the weekend;
Engineered Environments
Ross Merrick Accounting
Pro Strip - Abrasive blasting & powdercoating
Newcastle Dirtbike Distmantlers
Thanks to all those who flagged over the weekend and assisted wth the pack up on Sunday, certainly made things go a lot quicker.
Greg Holmes for all his work over the weekend officiating. Mick McMillan for manning the entry gate all day Sunday as well, thanks Macca.
As you can see from the photo's, Saturdays weather wasn't the kindest to us, but the club went ahead and I'm sure that a lot of riders have some stories to tell about their adventures in the mud on Saturday.

Again, thanks to all those who assisted with making the weekend a memorable one. See you all at the next round. Cheers.
Dan

Bob,
The meal is certainly open to family and friends. The committee is still finalising the details associated with the event including the meal cost, so I shall advise on that as soon as I can. As for cut-off, a week before the event as usual , so still plenty of time to decide on how many meals your camp shall require. Cheers.

OK, weather Gods have opended up over ther last few days. Rain predicted for the track area into early next week so this should ensure plenty of moisture in the track for racing on mainly virginal grass track. Stay tuned. Cheers.

OK guys, are last event at Lakes is done and dusted, so time to start thinking about the CRC for 2010. Camping available from Friday night, showers and toilets on site and a great grass track that shall be mostly virgin track. Time to start thinking about what you are going to ride and to ask the weather Gods to be kind to us again this year.
Always a great fun event and an opportunity to catch up with people and do a bit of socialising.
How about a show of hands on who's coming this year?

Yeh its a great track and the people in the Lakes Club ( who run the track ) are a great bunch of people who are only to willing to help us vintage guys out. Even if we don't get the Nats there next year, maybe 2012 , who knows. I'd still encourage vintage guys to come and have a ride at this track as it is a ball of fun to ride.
