Dirt track disapointment
« on: September 23, 2008, 03:01:57 pm »
2 rounds called of this year that i know of West Wylong cup and Woodstock Bourbon cup. Due to lack of senior support

But there is always a full feild for club days ?

I hope this is not a sign of thing to come for DIRT TRACK

Hope Blayney is still a goer

problem is 2 many open meetings around, 2 weeks ago aussie classic nats, last weekend nsw seniors at coffs harbour, not a lot of club riders hold national licences  eg,

 canberra for example, our club days have 60 senior entries, with probably 5 national licence holders

 Golden wheels series is an added expense with 10 rounds of dirt track racing  between wagga, temora west wyalong, griffith, condo, what an expensive series to compete in

 when golden wheels has had rain, new dates clash against local clubs in the riverina, thats good for the sport to hey????

 my opinion is 2 many meetings happening, with less competitors than recent years, junior numbers have dwindled due to the 5 hr coaching programs each year for licence renewals.
 
 I am in the MNSW dirt track sports committee and am looking for ways to improve our sport
 let us know your thoughts

Wow, I thought with so many club days and open races the licence would be the cheaper option
I have only started racing this year and the first thing i did was apply for a national liecence.

Yea a bit frustrating, The year is nearly over and i have yet to compete in a open race...... >:( ( without doing a lot of kms $$$ )
