Classic MX Nationals 6th-9th June Tasmania

[gorby]

another day at the track site and we now have the starting setup nearly sorted.The start will be by bungee cord.
As the grid will be 40 bikes wide,the bungee will release each way from a middle trigger point.An air operated release was tried today and worked ok but would have been a hassle with a generator and compressor involved.The manual trip worked alright without much effort so a remote trip is being built tomorrow to keep the starter away from the roost.
All the jumps have been shaped and look good( forgot the camera today )
The transponder reciever loop was buried in conduit under the finish line by fatboy and rob guy.
They reckon the ground was a bit tough after they dug down twelve inches,they had a sweat worked up
when we got there(just as they finished )
fatboy tells me that the final instructions and passes are ready to be sent out so expect them soon.

I think he said 200 bikes are entered,not sure how many riders but the biggest grid so far is 38
so whoever holeshots that start had better not lay it down in the first corner

[Freakshow]

[gorby]

[Freakshow]

thanks --  PM returned

[Brian Watson]

Well done fatboy...will the Pre 75 age groups be split into capacity groups as well?....Previously there were 125,  250 and also 263 and over classes for age groups..If not ...then can anyone ride any size capacity bike in the age group racing...would seem a little unfair on someone with a 125...
Cheers...

Will there be sheep stations ? or can we use the wheel in front gets the line and a bar width arrangment. 

As in should i be useing old plastics and bring a spare wheel cause the loonies will be out ? or can we expect sensible racing ?

[Freakshow]

OKAy.  who from the forums is going ? based on CD5 i know you guys listed up numbers, but maybe found it hard to come across each other.  BE nice though to keep my eyes peeled for like minded persons ( aka forum members ) especially if i need a push start :O)

[scrampics]

  Pleny of nice people that would give you a push start before the race starts, after that?  

[mxmaniac]

I heard a rumour there is gunna be bags of maico roost for sale after the event... Or broken parts..  Hope everyone has a ripper time, should be a great event with a quite a few stand out riders attending by the sounds of it! If them brothers on the old silver yamaha's are attending as well as Shaun, i hope there will be a trophy or 2 headin to VIC.. fingers crossed.
