If our acceptances will be at the gate before the event, how do we find out if our bike numbers are right ???  I've noticed a few riders all have the same numbers.

Whats a JSF 500?  PRE 85 #123


Isnt that in the wrong class ?

I thought it was that pre 75 hand made 500 with all sorts, Cavell rode it in TAssie, the Guy that owns dad hand made it using all sort even cast magnisium etc, he was an enthusiast engineer, any how his son who must be 50 + now, lent it out to Showcase his dads memory/legacy and puts the best pre 70 bum in Au, "mr T".  Its a brute of a maroon bike but when you look at the work that went into  making it, you do truly apprieciate what he was trying to do in his time.

YOu would have to speak to someone in the Vic scambles to get a heads up on it the guy who owns it, he's the  guy in the blue sitting bottom right in the photo

Freakie..unless I am heading the wrong way with this ..the bike is a JBS 500......BSA parentage....with some excellent home made stuff...not sure it would make a good pre 85 bike...certainly is the standard in TC's hands for pre 65....

Thirteen pre-70 250s and only nine pre-70 big bores? How's that for a reversal?

And only seven riders in Evo 125? Wisihng I'd gotten my 125G finished now...

And a couple of other loonies on 175/200 enduro bikes in among the pre-85 250s... Might slip in a late entry with the KDX200...

So how many constitute a title?
How many classes are actual title events?
Pretty crap to drive all that way to get the same result as a club day.

Didn't the pre-70 classes get dropped to 6 or 7 riders to be a title?
Worms mentioned it, but I'm drunk now...

Dunno exactly how they'll do it, but usually classes are amalgamated to ensure that everyone rides for a title - although often at a bike disadvantage (Eg: Boagy on the pre-65 twin pipe 250s among the pre-70 250s last year [he still beat me... :lol: ])

Okay. I just went through it all.
Non championship classes atm are,
evo 125 ( 8 )
pre 60 (3!)
pre 65 (8 ) I think 8 is enough for this actually.
pre 65 open (4)
pre 70 open (9) One more please!
pre 75 sidecar (3!)
pre 75 4 stroke (6)
pre 75 all powers under 30 (9)
''     ''   ''     ''        60+ (8 )
pre 78 125 (9) ten now as Mark said.
pre 85 sidecar (5)
pre 85 125 (8 )

Taking out pre 78 125, that is 10 classes out of 21!
Piss poor I reckon.
With out knowing peoples own circumstances, I still reckon the locals should give themselves an uppercut. Especially the early model classes with so many bikes down there.
Also the list looks far better than it is as your name is there for every event you are in.
I think it is now 6 or 8 for pre 60 and 65. I am not sure if it stretches to pre 70.

looks like the sidecar guys are waisting peoples time, and it is a shame if the locals arnt riding if only 50% will be championship class's. all class's are to have min 10 competitors to consitute a championship, except there was a change for the pre 60 group to 6, maybe if they stay with the pre 75 divisions they would of had more competitors willing to travel, how many locals have entered? Victorians? obviously not many and it's in their home state,

I hope they get some entries!

cheers trev

I remember a time when Victoria was the hub of vintage MX, not that long ago but the strongest VMX community was for many years Victoria. I guess the shift has been to WA and QLD but no sense in Victorians complaining about numbers.

Min for sidecars is 6 pre 65 and 60 is also 6 on a trial basis to try and create interest in the class all else is 10.

The JBS is a well known and tested pre 65 bike Freaky. Its the guy on the seat that makes it go, you could put those Cavill guys on a TAS 80 and they would probably win.
