The Nats

[albrid-3]

I feel strongly that the Bonanza and the National will be a success, and each state should have the opportunity to run these events, but all l am saying that entry fees and Licence fees should level off. Last year l had a great time at connondale, this year finding it a bit hard.

YES  the VMX magazine and  subsequently CD  can claim a big portion of that growth . That magazine is being  read world wide , there is 4 world champions that I personally know of , that constantly read the mag and follow CD along with many other international followers .  . So its a bit bigger than you think Ross .  I actually  met a taiwanese bloke reading VMX magazine  at the Hongkong Airport the other day .

Ya got me there Walt. I don't read it.....

Don`t ever forget walter the first magazine that was introduced to the vintage world was Classic dirt bike Market for 9 issue produced by me. then came vmx 12 - 15 months later. It was not all Ray Ryan.

Thats something I was not aware of . Perhaps we should start a new thread  to deal with that . I am definitely interested to know more about that piece of history . Are you fine with that ?

Let's get real here!!
It will always be hard to satisfy all comers particularly if they ride 2 or 3 bikes in different classes there will always be some that find it hard because this race clashes with that race etc... etc.... so that is that and nothing a club or organising body does will fix it.
On the other hand if we are finding it hard to get the time or cash to travel because some arseholes on the other side of the world got greedy and stuffed the economy-well then that's how it will be and maybe 2010 will go down as being the year that very small fields raced the Nats-so be it. END OF STORY.

EML , having no funds is understandable , but in your previos post you mentioned that you rather travel the same distance to attend the " ASAhareandhound " instead  attending the official Australian Champion ships , thats harder to understand  because it would undermine all the good that has been done .

I remember Dave. Your a legend in my eyes.Doh!That sound Pussy as.

motomanic, thanks mate, A legend I`am not, but sound good, Sometimes its nice to have some recognition for the efforts that was put into producing Classic Dirt bike Market

This thread is getting ridiculous. Why cant people just have the free choice to attend what ever events they want to attend with out being hassled to explain/give reasons why they are attending one event instead of another wether it be the Nats, CD7, the Bonanza or the ASA titles. Just ride/attend the events that you want to do/go to and can afford the time off work/travel expenses etc and do what suits you and dont feel bad for attending one event instead of another.

Dot I started a new thread on your mag , please elaborate , otherwise it will go under in here ,  together with mumblings of the non starters  or now worse ,ASA sleepers
