24 hour
« on: October 26, 2010, 09:26:04 pm »
l was just sitting here at my computer  checking out the brisbane M.C.C web-site, and dreaming about connandale, and a hare brain ideal came rushing into my head.
A 24 hour race, day time motocross and night time enduro cross, then back to motoross when the sun comes up.  :o


Great idea or a bad idea ( you vote )

Thats would be ok for the Suzukis and Hondas, but the Montys and Kwackas would struggle...

The idea is to use a bike like a motocrosser dueing the day light and switch over to an enduro bike with lights at night then switch back to motocrosser in the morning light. just a thought. it would be interesting though.

Interesting idea, but this is VMX we are talking about.

To get through 24 hours you would need 24 riders for each team [and probably 36 bikes] and countless mechanics and spare parts… You haven't mentioned when the beer stops are during the event?  ;)

Why not just come down to SA and ride in the real 24Hr. This year they ran the same classes as the SA Reliability Trial Championships, which include Class M for pre-1990 bike, so you don't even have to give up on the old bike to ride in it.

Why do things the easy way, when with a bit of effort you can really make it difficult for yourself!!

You could have all classes. Pre 75 , pre 78 , pre 85,
Yes it would be a bit like a pony express, you would need a team of 4, or 2 riders, it would have to be nutted out properly, they was years ago a 24 hours desert race, not sure where though.
