guess what lads!!!!! 2008 Classic Dirt Track Champs at Canberra!!!

[Graeme M]

I may be wrong, but I think back in the early 80s the motocross framed bikes that were being run on dirt tracks were pretty unique too. They were very similar to the sorts of things being run in the Superbikers and later Super Motard races, being MX bikes lowered with fat rims and wet weather road racing tyres. I remember some trick bikes at the Nepean 6-Hour and Maryborough 3-hour events, with big tanks, trick pipes and ignitions, twin front disks and so on.

Anyways, back on topic, I was looking through the entry list and noted that in Pre 75 125, there are about 18 entries. 16 are on CR125s. Then there's me on a TM125. What does everyone else know that I seem to be ignorant of? 

I'll repoprt back on whether I actually beat any of them...

Methonol.  without it there nothing and all will crumble before you my pump 98 freind.   Stay uypright and you be passing a littering of blown bottom ends all weekend.   :O)

[Graeme M]

[pancho]

 Ok , for you metanol burners who may need fuel at the nats, 20 litre drums are available along with BP100, for $55.00 each, if anyone need any let me no and I will get our local  member to bring them along to dirt track nats,
  Dont no the price others pay but seems reasonable compared to my elf bfk-07 at $6.50 per litre

[micks]

bp 100 is not methanol fuel it`s a lead based fuel it maybe not be allowed in the the gcr`s and may require a ma fuel log book.the elf fuel is homologated.
have a look at gcr`s MOMS 18.3.0.1 then12.9.5.1 and THE GOD RULE 12.1.1.3
sorry about quoting rules but that is what govern`s the sport and i would hate to see someone be protested.
non folding gear tip levers are ok
mnsw classic dirt sports committee was asked this question at the penrith pre 75 meeting and forwarded it on to ma,the reply back from a ross martin was that they are not mandatory.
the meeting has a good scruitneer very experience in historic racing.
remender that they are old bikes with old blokes having good old fun!!!

Hi Pat,
wondering if you could give the heads up on how the pits will work,
will cars and or trailers be in pits, and where will the camping be in relation to   etc.


and will track complex be open friday evening for arrivals

cheers
Noel

[elsie 125]

 Hi Noel, the pits will be bikes only, and that area on the map are all the trees around  the start area, the camping is the flat area at the top right, of the picture, the campers car and campsite will be all together, the daily competitors  cars and trailers will be parking to the lft of the tree at the hairpin corner and in the area behind the pit fence, which is the group of trees above the start area.
The gates will be open from 10.00 am friday morning and we will be there to show the campers were to park, and set up there area, cheers Pat

For some reason the periods seems back to back .  which i think is weird as most folk have the same period differant capacity so i thought your go pre then post , pre then post to give some room between races if your in both.   Any way is the pre 75 250 still in heats ? and if so can we pick the heat ? or would it be smarter to go Heat1 all under 39's and then H2 over 39 as is the champ round classification and how im assuming its going to be done, but i had to ask. 

Also any forum guys going want a free ticket ?  Based on the programe im going to need a strapper to take one bike to the line and hold the other in the pre 75 gig.   

Would even take you sexy daughters as a last resort, but any help appreciated and as i said i can give you the other ticket you get at sign in.

Freaky , the quicker you finish the races , the more time you have inbetween.

[Freakshow]

i wish, ...............ill still be crossing the line as the next gate leaves. 

I did 3 rounds on the weekend and i got the worst groin strain, i couldnt lift my inside leg in the last race.  IM going to be rooted by the end of day one.

And you want me to back that up and finish as well............. heh eh eh

[Tim754]

 What you say ya did ?3 rounds of rooting?

[Freakshow]

So no strappers going  and want to help out and get a free ticket ? surely theres is someon ein Canberra looking for pit access and only has to hold a bike 3 times a day ?

[YSS]

There more strippers than strappers in Canberra, perhaps ask one of them to be your strapper  more fun for you and better exposure for your sponsors

[Freakshow]

i tried that and all Elsie 125 came back with was a peep show address.............
