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

[Dan-166]

At the end of the day, Pre 90 for the HEAVEN club is up to the clubs members. If the members decide that they want Pre 90 included in the race format ( remebering that any bike can be ridden on the Saturday Rec rides ), then they can make it happen by following the process as set out in the clubs constitution. All it needs is somebody ( or a group of people ) to be the driving force behind it to make it happen.

Agree,By starting a new Pre90 club at grass roots level at least they can build on them selves and it solves all problems of a break away group in the future.
Oops hope this doesn't turn to a pre 90 20 page topic- sorry
cheers from the newly emerging west

 Dan it was in the consitution. It did read that the club (Hevean VMX) would cater
for bikes of 15 years of age and greater. I know this as I was a sponsor of the club
in the early days and when the original consitution was put together I printed approx
250 - 300 copies for the club, but someone along the way found in their wisdom
to have the consitution changed.

Fair call

But it's also the responsability of the committee to guide the club members in terms of long term viability and to insure the "long term" future of the club.

Forward planning for change only affects  long term viability of any organisation in a positive way.

[Dan-166]

I hear ya Wotto, but I am only offering information on the way for it to happen from this point on. We cannot change what has happen in the past, we can only work with what we have at the moment.
I totally agree with Shoey in regards to the forward planning and long term viability.
I personally ( my view only and in no way speaking for the current committee ) beleive that Pre 90 will become part of the HEAVEN clubs format but not sure when. Again, THIS IS ONLY MY VIEW.

Hi
I will put my few cents worth in here.
I am with Dan. I have had several discussions with a couple of you that want to run a pre 90 and at this stage that is about 3 people.
As I have said before to you if you want to change something in the club, get together, become involved, help out, form a quorum and lets put it out for a vote. The committee can only guide the club.
I personally don't have anything against the pre 90, but it has to come from the members.

And Damo and Wotto there is plenty of riding over the 2 days, its called racing!, so I hope you have entered.
I heard the club that may want to run the pre 90 maybe Manly???

       Hi Carl, so it's Manly. I heard possibly Oyster Bay. Maybe theres 2 other clubs interested.
  I'd love to race the 2 days this weekend but I woke up 1 day recently and found I only had
  moderns and PRE 90's in my shed. I had a couple of Evo YZ's but you stole them from me. Cheers, Wotto.....

Racers Weekend Review -

What a weekend. An EVO Challenge to remember. Highlights of a brilliant track, prepared bikes, weather and post race fellowship.

Entry levels were good. Average around 20 racers in the EVO 250, 500 and Fourstroke events. Bit less in the other classes, plus age races including our (ever faster) Juniors. Reviewing the official race programe for this event shows the Jap bikes were the weapon of choice. Plently of YZ, RM, KX and CR with a sprinkling of Euro beauties from Scandinavia and Western Germany. Several brave soles deared to be different, riding a Can Am, Montesa and a KTM. With mixed results.

Around sun set the results from the day were put on display. Trophies handed out. Shots of Fernando Fire Water for those brave enough. Absynth was in the bottle - banned from most Countries for its hypnotic effects when drunk without moderation. After 6 shots, the author had no more pain in the body or issues with being taken to bed by 4 bright green fairies. Race talk around the open fire at Pete's Big Bus topped the night off for those left standing.

The day was not without incident. Scott Copeland got off his 1984 KX 125 over the centre table top, resulting in a broken tibia. Latest info from Dan is he needs surgery in Sydney. Speedy recovery Scott and thanks to those who assisted. Capt'n Carl coped a rock just below the left eye - result - 3 stitches and a tuff looking Capt'n.

Special mention to the winner of the Pre 78 under 45's - Heaven's No. 1 plate holder - Sean who was the only entrant.... Why make it so easy for him is the question??


To be conintued

Scott Copeland had surgery today in Sydney, tranferred from Newcastle at his request. 5hr Operation apparently many plates and screws involved. The tibia had multiple fractures not far below the knee. I spoke to his wife as he had not returned to the ward at that stage. Best wishes to Scott for a speedy recovery.

[Damo]

Really enjoyed the weekend, thanks to the Heaven comittee for making it happen.
The track was in awesome condition, a little bummed that only the Juniors enjoyed the full length track.
Hope Scott has a speedy recovery.
