Still hoping to make it. May have my RT1 going, slider is ready,if planets align in sequence I'll ride. Talking of sliders the M.O.M.s. needs to be upgraded and clarified in relation to eligibility for the classification 'Classic Sliders'. Presently there is a hotch potch of rules which jump around between classic dirt, classic motocross and [classic long track which it appears to be superfluous and about to be removed]. Among the many ambiguities are engine design rules which effectively bar specials that were around in the sixties and seventies. In my opinion the Australian racing scene contained an abundance of specials in those times. Now days with generally better affordability of purpose built machinery things have changed. Among the proposed rule changes is the suggestion that the time frame "pre 75" be dropped, Which I'm inclined to think should not happen even though it means my XT slider would be disallowed..... Because of all above I intend to make representation to the classic dirt committee a set of recommendations which that committee may like to consider discussing, modifying, endorsing [or throwing out]. If any one out there would like to agree with my project, or rubbish it, or whatever, on this forum or to me through my personal email address, or send a message to the classic dirt committee through their own club please go for it. cheers pancho
