pre 90 vmx

they are man made tracks, you need  Natural terrain my friend,

[CamP]

A semi goat track in my opinion , but you only enter if want , no one is forcing anyone    They just cry about lack of of entries

Interesting how different it is down under. Our club had a record turnout at that track. Nobody complained that it was man made. We were just happy to get to race at a first class facility with 35 years of history.

Only a minority complain Cam. 20 or more in the picture you posted and old mate says a lack of entries. Shows the short sightedness of some.
I would love to run on that track as would most mx riders.

Albrid, everyone loves grass tracks. Look at the success of the old ThumperNats or Amcross for proof - even the "17 year old lunatics" on modern bikes flock to grass track racing.

There's absolutely no reason why 30-something blokes on 1989 model bike would be the exception to this rule. As one of those blokes, I can tell you that I would be perfectly happy to race my '87 CR125 on grass tracks.

The whole "but they'll want triple jumps and monster whoops" argument is bullsiht. The Evo guys and the pre-85 guys have proven that it was bullsiht too (remembering that those same arguments were trotted out when pre-80/Evo was proposed and then again when pre-85 was).
Did you hear any of them complaining about the lack of supercross obstacles at the 2008 or 2009 Nationals?

You keep making the point but you are wrong. I would ride my pre 70 there and have a ball. The bikes in the pic are pre75 and Cam said, no complaints.

Motorcross is fast flowing curcuit natural Terrain 1.5 to 2.5 k`s. Standard tracks,  (  Super cross tracks short , 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd maybe, if your lucky. these tracks are accidents waiting.)

That track looks fine.. nice dirt, wide and fast enough, jumps are spaced far enough apart and not too steep.

[Davey Crocket]

That track looks awesome Cam, I'd run any of my bikes their- even my 2000 Husaberg . How do you get to ride it?

[Davey Crocket]

Weren't you at the nats Hornet?

[JohnnyO]

Weren't you at the nats Hornet?

Hornet doesn't ride..just makes a lot of noise.

[Davey Crocket]

Would you have beaten Popeye and Fletch on that track Hornet? , looks like a good walking frame track.

[JohnnyO]

When are you going to turn up and show us your sting hornet??

[Davey Crocket]

Your not a swiss cheese eating terorist are you Hornet?  

[JohnnyO]

It won't get any closer to you than Broadford and a track with a lot of history from the glory days.
No excuses this time...

Guys - give over the personal attacks and keep trying to work out the task at hand.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion.  I agreed with Nathans comments early and now Albrids regards tracks.  Here in the west our favourite track for pre 75 is Wandering natural terrain good times however everybit as good is Narrogin purpose built MX track but all pre 75 friendly - Manjimup is a modern track and much more difficult for the older blokes and bikes.  Anyone who tells you that Conondale didn't get hard for the pre 75s over the 3 days is full of bullshit - and Brad maybe it didn't for you but it looks like you could ride a coke can successfully anyway.  This thread is rapidly getting down to the pre and post classes again!  Maybe the sooner this happens pre 75 post 75 (or 78 or whatever) the sooner the arguments will cease - or am I just wishful thinking?
