Don't forget that pre '78 also includes pre 60 - pre 75..we saw at Pt Augusta that the track wasn't really suited to pre 60.. it was vhard work on a 300lb british  monster...

Pre 78 National, the people who are preparing these tracks are not taking in consideration the pre 65-60, it should be in the constitution that Australia Vintage national Titles
should be natural terrain tracks only. and are to be know higher that 1mm.

be good to see NSW have a go - what about those Inverell meetings we had in the mid 90s - would be a great location......

Dave, Inverell does have a great location at Copetom dam that could meet the high standards needed. It can get very dusty with no rain thou. The big problem here is the club which is more or less now run for mini bikes. It's perfect grass track type terrian and a few jumps can be added NP.

Didn't your Pre 75 KTM run at the front of the pack at the first MR VMX at Raymond Terrace a couple of years ago Mick.

Pre 75 and Pre 80 bikes were all competing that day. I thought it was a great venue for VMX. Plenty of camping area, good pits, central location.

Not my bike Ted one of the Lewis Brothers bikes. I went to the Australian title round there for modern bikes and the jumps were very huge. I guess it would come down to the club who run events there and how much they would tame down the track. The Local guy who care takes there is a VMX fan. But as Im told they get hundreds of entries there just for club days so why go to alot of trouble to run the Nats and make less money? The new track layout does get very rutted which would suck on older bikes. It maybe just a problem that moderns causes thou?
