If (and only if), the Nationals were broken into seperate groups (something like the ones described in the poll), what would float your boat?

For me it'd have to be Evo and later.... ;)

writing Hypothetically- cause that's what you can get away with.  :-\
What happens if the vmx rider was a Victorian and Nats are Qld pre85 April and WA pre75 September ?  Or who gives two hoots cause he's the small majority.
Riders will drop one,due to cost..
eg:run pre 85 at one Qld track and then next weekend pre75 at another Qld track..One week on pure VMX  :P

I reckon I would run a pre '80 sidecar no matter where it was run.

Would have to agree with you.  Most sensible way to do it without crowding one weekend.  Would mean interstaters who wanted to run in both would have to take a longer holiday.  But does raise the costs of thethose who do compete, and a lot of those only compete for the fun of it

I'd be keen on both, but if I could only make it to one, then the pre-78 event would take priority.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
