HEAVEN VMX Inc Evo Challenge - 14th & 15th August

[Dan-166]

It's that time of year again for the Evo and Pre 85 boys to come out and play. This years Evo Challenge will be held at the Lakes MX Track on Cessnock Road, Awaba, approx 2km off the F3. Track promises to be in great cindition as usual after being prepared by the Lakes Motorcycle Club for us. Great track, great facilities, friendly people and a great atmosphere. The club has recently installed some bike washbays in the pit area so people can give there toys a quick wash before heading off if they like.
Gate will open on Friday afternoon with camping available at the track. There are a couple of hot showers on site and toilets as well. There will be a fully operational canteen going both days, attended by the good people of the Lakes Motorcycle club. The Lakes club will also be catering the meal on Saturday night after the presentation. The format for the weekend is as follows;

Hi Dan any chance of combining some of these classes and starting the day
earlier so as to get in 3 - 4 hours of practice. This may encourage more to
come along therefore having more riders there to flag and avoiding a repeat of last years
Evo Challenge at Clarence. Just a thought, cheers............

[Dan-166]

Wotto,
I hear ya but with the Evo Challenge last year, there were a number of factors I think that lead to the down turn in numbers for the event. Problem with combining classess is that there are a number of guys riding two or more classes in the same era. Lakes has been a very popular track for HEAVEN riders over the last couple of years and I believe that there will be a heathly amount of entries in each trophy class. We shall just have to see as the entries roll in and then make a call. Hope to see you there. Cheers.

[Dan-166]

Mike,
Thanks for that. What about the Pre 78 race though? Would you like to run in that? Have you got the Can Am runnin yet? Cheers.

[Noel]

Hi Dan,
will there be a special entry for this or just enter on a standard form .
Cheers

Hi Dan

I agree with Wotto's comments that we need more practice on the Saturday alot of members purely attend these meetings for the Saturday practice/social ride, I think by limiting it to a 1 hour session will limit entries and limit bike set-up time etc.
I would like to see a full days practice on Saturday and the evo challenge races run on Sunday morning with the Heaven round following the completion of this.
Just my 2 cents!!!!

Hi Dan
I think the format looks great. Its only once a year that you run this for the Evo/Pre85 class bikes. I am looking forward to it. When will entry forms be available?
Cheers Neil.

[Dan-166]

Guys,
The entry forms have been sent to the administrator to upload onto the net and also email out to members so hopefully that will happen over the next couple of days. If not, I shall start to email out entry forms to members or any potential new members that wish to attend the race.
I take on board all feedback regarding the format and appreciate it. Thanks.
Dan

Hey Dan,

Is there only one Juniors race on Sat? (Race 4 )

[Dan-166]

Yeah, it fits into the age race category. This may change depending on entry numbers though. If any classes end up combined due to entry numbers ( and no issue of riders wishing to ride both classes), we may slip another race in. All depends on entries recieved. Cheers.

             Want to ensure a good  turn up of riders for the Saturday's racing
             add in Pre 90 (they are 21 plus years of age) and a couple of more
             junior racers.


      A blokes got to keep trying, Pre 90 is the future of VMX! The class is going strong in Qld & Vic, it's Vipers most
      contested class. Check out their point score. Over to you Damo, Sugar, Neily and the rest of the young one's
      (40ish) of Heaven VMX. Cheers from the old Dude with the trailer full of 89 CR's...............

[E74]

         Cheers from the old Dude with the trailer full of 89 CR's............... 

Too Funny..

       Cheers from the old Dude with the trailer full of 89 CR's...............
