While it may seem confusing it all basically boils down to two trains of thought;
‘Traditionalists’ or ‘Nutty Professors’
Traditionalists believe that the ‘twin shock’ class should be about the last of the simple technology era and shouldn’t be advanced with parts that came from later model single shock/water cooled models.
Downside is that some brands don’t have open class models
Nutty Professors believe that they should be able to use any part to build a bike so long as it meets the main criteria of no discs, no linkages and no watercooling.
Downside is that 78 bikes can be fitted with 88 forks etc.
Most are either in one camp or the other, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of fence sitters and it seems very few will switch camps which is why this always ends up an endless debate.
I miss these old rule debates, Not
You are correct on all accounts Geoff.
I personally had two of the Classic Dirt Commissioners (with BigK as witness) confirm that any club has the absolute right to run whatever class they choose, using whatever eligibility interpretation/rules they want. Further they confirmed that the only place the EVO or any classic class eligibility rules for that matter must be ran as per the MOMS is at a National Championship.
Hence the Conondale Classic being a National level event is completely free to include or exclude any class it chooses or have its own class rules the same as some clubs only do up to Pre75 or other include Pre95. All completely legitimate meetings.
Pre '82 not an issue for you Chris until you want to go to Heaven or QVMX event. Then & only then are the times you may have to adjust your EVO bike to comply. Everywhere else, the national EVO rules as per MOMS apply.

Graham,
Join one of the 5 clubs and come down , love to meet you.
Thats what is written there but he's been removed. So who is the Steward now?
Yip get thoughts entrys in, after the record number of riders and bikes the CLASSIC AUSSIE TITLES drew , be a shame for the post classic side to let the team down
Have you even checked the results. Only 1/3 of the races had enough riders turn up to compete for an Australian Title
Kevin it seems neither you nor the members of your club are aware that on 5th May the General Manager of MQ invited both QVMX and BMCC, in writing, to a meeting hosted by MQ to resolve exactly these issues.
Brisbane MCC responded immediately signifying acceptance and welcoming the opportunity for such a meeting. To this date QVMX have not responded.
This is all a matter of record, and BMCC members have all been made privy to the relevant correspondence which has been going on since October 24th when BMCC first invited QVMX to an Interclub to be held on 22 May. The invitation was repeated in November, January and again more recently. BMCC also invited QVMX in writing on 26th November for the two committees to meet to discuss dates and other issues. This was also ignored.
QVMX received these invitations, evidenced by acknowledgement by your secretary.
BMCC and MQ have tried to resolve this situation, and as I said it's all on record.
I don't think the QVMX club secretary posts on here. Also I am aware of the correspondence. It's time to stop the propaganda war.
It's funny in some respects. I don't think the two days of practice could have handled a lot more riders anyway and as for another class. Everyone would just get less track time.
Any mediation between the clubs needs to have a third party involved (MQ).
