A question for Pat( or anyone that knows really)- Is there going to be a static bike display/show and shine type thing happening at the DT Nats? And, is there going to be racing on the Saturday or only on the Sunday? Thanks .

[elsie 125]

Hi suzuki 27, we wanted a static bike display, but had no replies to our posts for anyone to show there bikes, so unfortunately not.
 The program will be, sign on, scruitneering 9.00 am sat, opening ceremony and 2 parade laps around 10.30 am, 11.00 am will start 2 rounds 4.5 laps practice, then we will have a lunch break and commence 2 rounds racing on saturday afternoon,
 Sunday we will be having 3 straight rounds racing, with the finals being run after the racing rounds,
 all entrants will receive there final instructions for the event by end next week,
 Shaping up pretty good with 110 entries for the dirt track nats
 see you in canberra

Go well Suzuki27.Team Suzuki NZ will be watching.
PS Will you be unveiling your new acquistion?

[suzuki27]

Hi suzuki43, I was going to take it up for "show & tell" only , but  no bike display this time.  I will have to get a spare chamber made up-If I smashed up that NOS one on it you would see a grown man reduced to tears. I will take up the 250T  for the Evo 250 class ; my feeble state of conditioning restricts me to one class only!

[Devilman]

so elsie..... hi for starters. I'm coming to race in the titles with mum,dad & my bro in tow & was excited to hear that the entries have climbed into triple figures. woo hoo!
I'm fronting up in pre75 125,pre78 125, evo125(i think or we may have decided otherwise) pre 80 250 & open evo. My question is ...do U have access to class numbers (specificly the afore mentioned) & can U give me a clue as to which are going to have enough entries to B considered championship classes. Will help us plan our attack & tell us where to consentrate our best efforts....
Last year I had 2 races in a row, hadn't registered the fact & missed the 2nd of them only to discover that class was the only Champioship class I was entered in & I'd blown any chance of making the final. I would have cried but was choking on flies ........ wow thats the most flies ever in history that I've had to battle.

[Freakshow]

Smart question Devil man.  WOuld be good to get a heads up on what got 10.  might make packing the car easier, particular for spare parts............

I think any flies this year will be frozen, and thus walking and not flying, hopfully we will be back home before they even get there..............

[elsie 125]

 devil man, championship classes are  pre 75 125, evo 250 , evo 263 over, pre 78 263 over, sliders 263 over, pre 75 250, 16-49, pre 75 250, 50yrs+, pre75 263 over, pre 78 250, , sidecars,  pre 78 125, 6 entries, evo 125, 7 entries
 hope this helps

[Freakshow]

is that in any kind of order ? bit like my spelling that list tis all over the place.

[elsie 125]

you will work it out freaky,

[Freakshow]

na i figure any class im in has more than 10 so thats good, but not sure on your age spread, thought it was  in 10 year blocks ?  Got no show against those 18 yr olds

[elsie 125]

your classes for example freaky, pre 75 250, we have split the ages 16 to 49 years, 14 competitors,
 pre 75 250 50 yrs and over, 10 competitors,
 I havent seen the age differences in your class as Darylene and Jan put entries together
 your 263 and over class is 16 to 59 years championship,  10 competitors
