Im getting a bit off topic, but my point is, run an event that has the right ingredients e.g. locality, effective promotion, guarantee that advertised classes will actually be run, age groups where appropriate, relevant tracks etc and the entries will follow. Pre60 has drawn championship numbers at the 2011 DT Nats and 2012 MX Nats and interest is increasing.
If we nurture and cater for the older bikes and riders, and at the same time embrace the Post Classic and beyond with the ingredients that have been illustrated, we can have it all.
Sure there is fine tuning that is needed and improvements to be made, but nothing that hard work and a bit of forsight can't achieve.
