I dont think numbers will hurt to much and may even improve over time. I will attend both if I can or which ever is closer. Be great to back some real racing instead of a dash and some 15 min races or 6 laps. Back on subject as to where in NSW you can run a good VMX these days?

Most punters love Buladelah. Apparently the facilities are going to be improved this year too.

The Lakes track gets a thumbs up from the post-74 crowd, without upsetting the pre-75 guys too much.

Historically, the Canberra club has been willing to modify their track to suit older bikes, and very willing to modify their track for National level events... I haven't seen it lately, but it has been toned down a lot from the dark days of 2009. Dunno if this would make it a suitable venue for the CMX Nats, but it could be an option to explore.

Most punters still rate the Coffs Nats highly. Again, its a modern track that can be modified to suit older bikes.

There's currently-operating grass-track venues in Gundagai, Cooma, and Bega (and Leeton and a couple of other places out that way, IIRC).


Finding a track isn't that hard - the real challenge is finding a track that is run by a friendly club/land owner and finding a club that has the motivation to actually run the event.
More than any other factor, that's what will determine where any future Nationals are held.



The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
