Hi guys!
No disrespect OR carelessness intended by the club in this scheduling. The DMCC series starting on 20th Sept at Wonthaggi in Gippsland is a club MODERN mx meeting/series and it has ADDED to it a vintage class (pre90, pre85 and evo combined) which DMCC have been running also in their modern enduro series this year. These classes were included in the series as the Thumpercross at Lardner Park was no longer being run and if successful will be run in the future club scheduling.
These vintage classes were added into the modern series by request from other DMCC members wanting to get into vintage racing as well as racing their modern bikes on the same day, myself included as I am not currently doing the Viper series (as we are covering predominantly off-road racing this year, and DMCC events) but still want the opportunity to ride my vintage bikes with my club.
There are three rounds in total, two don't clash with Viper and two don't clash with VCM! The club has limited flexibility with the weekends left available this year to run this series for various reasons as you would appreciate.
Everyone is invited to ride and day membership is available - life is, fortunately and sometimes unfortunately, full of choices and every week I have to choose 'what event' 'what bike'. And I feel lucky that DMCC are allowing me easier choices!
Scooter News would love to promote ANY VMX club as we go around the state every weekend - and we have made this offer on many occasions and feel we are being successful in this with a good proportion of our readers now owning or intending to own vintage bikes (MX and vinduro). Happy to provide a list of names of such people who have recently purchased vintage bikes not just for their club events but many intending to join in VMX-specific events in the future.
We are always promoting ALL things vintage even if we can't get to the events - some clash, some don't. And we welcome reports and event promotions, just last week we ran a great report from Goose Martin from Viper Yanakie.
The more vintage events that are out there the more the VMX movements will see the benefit from them IMO, even if sometimes they may clash.
I wish Viper a successful event at Clarkefield on 20th Sept and hopefully some of you guys can get along to one of the DMCC events at Wonthaggi.
Happy to chat 0412 999 905, Steve
