What's the go with Moto Mayhem?
I would have thought that the organisers would have been smothering us with hype for this big event by now, but still nothing.
This meet has the potential to be a great season opener and the fact that it's the last ever meeting on Oran Parks MX track makes it espcially important. Unfortunately most punters I speak to know nothing of it and are speaking only about CD5. Granted, the promoter Mark Avard is notorious for leaving his promotional releases right 'till it's almost too late but I would have thought a few words on this forum mapping out the vintage side of the program would have been a great starter.
It has to be factored in that the VMX calendar is chocka block with meetings in the first half of this year so punters need plenty of notice so they can map out a game plan. With Moruya and Coffs Dirt Tracks and Heavens first round at Clarence and CD5 vying for the racers well earned dollars within an 8 week period this meeting will be up against it unless it's quickly sold to the racers as the significant event that it is. It shouldn't be taken for granted that racers will just show up anyway. They have to know about it.
It's worth remembering that the last motocross meeting at Oran Park in 1999 had over 200 entries, swept up in a big burst of nostalgia so I reckon the last ever motocross at Oran Park deserves a similar treatment.
