I hope the blokes behind RETRO MX persist because their Dargle meeting was a ripper, so much better then the heaven meetings I've been to.


[My call - where this discussion is going is not fruitful. It's not unreasonable to discuss the race format and to air concerns about that, although rightly the forum is not the right place - discuss with your club if you have concerns. It's also not unreasonable to call into question how the clash of dates has occurred. But it is NOT reasonable to start slinging accusations. Any more and the thread will be locked - Admin]

Noel, I look at this meeting on your website and noted there is no race for the Bruce Mc Farland trophy that was donated last year (for pre 85 / Evo racing), has this been moved to another meeting?

It is tradition that the CRC honours the lifes of
Roy East
John Hine
Geoff Eldridge
  And
Ray Ryan
by being traditionally located.
With trophy races hotly contested in their memory.

I would imagine it is pretty safe to assume that  the race and trophy in honour of Bruce will also be hotly contested some time this year.
I also so imagine given the class of race in honour of Bruce, that it will be at a more befitting venue for such a machine class, say Lakes? For an example.

How good is that? Bruce has a whole meeting to him self

The Evo chalenge

We imagine he would be embarrassed at all the fuss  8) If that is possible 8)

What Mick said. The Magoo Memorial race belongs on the programme of the Evo Challenge race meet, rather than the CRC.

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

The Bruce McFarland Trophy should be a part of the Crawford River Classic because that meeting was his baby.

Guy's I only ask as I donated the trophy and was assured it would be part of the CRC meeting, last year it had (pre 85 and Evo combined) 2 heats to qualify for the final that was a 40 bike race so in my opinion it would be a great fit for the meeting and by far the largest field at the event (last year) which filled the pits that would have been otherwise a little bare.

Mick, I don't think I am making a fuss but only asking a valid question?

I am with Firko, Bruce did indeed look forward to this event and he was the reason I first showed up to see what it was about (the CRC).

As I am not a member of the organising club, I quite rightly do not have a say when or where it should be held as long as a race is held in his honour, I would find it a sad day that he would be so quickly forgotten or overlooked. I was firstly going to hold an event (Bruce Mc Farland race) up here in Queensland at the Connondale classic but was assured it would be a longer term event at the CRC. Thats all.

Regards
Shane Wilson

No worries Shane, I wasn't intending a go at you.
My initial thoughts were of an amicable way to keep the peace.
Aware of Firkos point, but unaware till "now" of your involvement Shane.
Sort of leaves me a bit short of opinion now.
The sort of thing that will probably keep me up all night now ???

For those that did not make it to the CRC I have uploaded a shot of the "Magoo" trophy

Big and red just like the bloke we named it after!



I dont think Magoo would mind if its for a race or not...it could go to a rider/voulenteer who's just been a real good vmxer,with a big heart for the days event or the past year.  8)

Not a concern Mick, Only want to keep the big fulla in the spot light as you always new when he was around!!

Nice thought Alision but racing was his passion.

Think that is all that needs to be said and leave it to the club to come up with a race or event to have it at.

Shane,
May I suggest a PM to Carl Blecher (czeck). Carl should be able to help out with what is planned for the Magoo memorial this year. Cheers.

Thanks Dan, I don't need to get involved, so as long as the club has it in hand that is where it should stay. If there is to be an event I would like to be involved (as a rider only).

Good luck with the CRC guy's the last two I have been at where great and work is keeping me from this one.
