Farleigh Castle 2010...time to get organised

Pity its on the same day as the classic des nations, Jeff

haha thats funny

[euro bikes]

what do you mean by that?

MM, I suspect that Jeff is referring to the event which is held in Europe each year (Classic Motocross Des Nations) and involves 4 riders per team, with riders allocated to specific vintages depending on age (60+ yo riders on pre 65, 50+ yo on pre-70's etc).  I believe that the event is being held in Italy this year, but not sure of the date.  If its the same as the Farleigh event, it is a pity (read: I may have convinced the chancellor of exchequer to allow me two events o.s.)

sorry I thought that there was only one MXdN and that its at Farleigh this year.
So Farleigh is not the regular MXdN that happens every year?

i think there is a classic des nations and
a twin shock des nations
both with riders from all over
i know ther are some guys in finland spewing they cant go to farleigh as
its on the same day
classic tends to cater more for pre 75/70/65/60 etc etc
twin shock is basically what it states
later evo and pre 85 converted to twin shock
eg rm500 cr480 etc
will be a great event

 Although i say it myself the classic MXdN is a minnow of a event compared to the farleigh MXdN.  farleigh is more of a Goodwood revival meeting{google it}  Dont know if any of you guys know him but steve johnston a professional speedway rider from perth and sponsored by jeff leisk has entered on a 490 maico in the under 40s race.  The event has just taken a massive leap in securing a non mx uk household name as a title sponsor that will see the event being the biggest and best mx event in the UK and possibly the largest vintage event in the world.   Leisky is coming with quite a entorage and family of supporters so you guys who have entered will have your very own supporters to cheer on team australia.

There is a team of 4 Aussies entered for the des nations race, entries opened for the event about 3 months ago.
Check it out on MXTRAX website.

Go to the Vintage forum, there is a Farleigh Castle Q & A thread started by Dave King the event promoter.
There is also a website for the Farleigh Castle motocross club.
