Entries are rolling in fast, so if you haven't got yours in yet, make sure that you do so sooner rather than later so as not to miss out.

Only a few weeks to go! Can't wait for this one.

So who's going to be testing at Barleigh Ranch on the Saturday? Maybe we can organise a bbq Saturday afternoon so we can socialise in a relaxed manner before the elbows are out on Sunday morning  ;D

Anyone keen?

Cheers
Shaun

Pre85 and Pre80 entries are rolling in 8)

Pre75s are strong and Pre90 is filling.

Don't leave it until the last minute as entries are limited to a grid of 40 maximum.

This could be the event of the year for use Over 30s. It is just one meeting so it should not be an issue. A good oppurtunity for the younger guys to pit for their Dad maybe ;D

Thye age split can not be done until entries are finalised as it all depends on the makeup (age wise) of each field. Each Era will have two age groups with equal number in each.

HI Shaun,
Looking forward to this one as well. Only wish I had a second bike so I could ride 2 classes! I'm keen for the BBQ Saturday, we'll be up there Saturday practicing. Count me in.

Time for quick update, Pre85 Era is now full so we are in the process of taking 5 reserves for this era. If you enter into the Pre85 and don't get to ride in that era ,  you will then have the option of riding in the Pre90 Era providing that is does not reach capacity.
There are still spots available in Pre75, Pre80 and Pre90 at this stage, so if you are thinking of getting an entry in , don't delay as we now have only two weeks till what is sure to be a cracker of an event and one not to miss out on.
Even if you don't want to ride, come along for the day and get involved by being a spectator. There are some really good vantage points at the track for watching so come along for a look as I am sure that there will be some great racing on display.
There will be a canteen operating all day Sunday as well.
If you would like any further information on the event, don't hesitate to contact me via a pm or email [email protected] .

Hope to see you there.
Dan

I can have a pre-90 bike available, if anyone wants to have a go.

Only catch is that if my bike stops, I get to pull rank as team manager...  ;D
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

A bit disappointing that the pre75 era is the slowest to fill. I will be trying to make it on Saturday arvo to have a run around the track.

Yeah,
Come on you pre 75 blokes, support this event and get an entry in. There are plans in place to have the track groomed and the jumps "softened" to suit the older bikes. Pre 75 will be the first race in each round and will benefit from between round grooming. Add that to having two age groups within the class and what more could you ask for?

Pre85 was always going to be the 'big' field given that it includes several years of EVO bikes and the usual Pre85 bikes.

All riders with '78 & '79 models should be lining up for the Pre80 class. We can all watch Dean Burt do his stuff ;D ;D

The Pre75 era is when the whole MR Motocross history started. If the idea had not attracted such a following in those early years then it many never have progressed like it did. This is a chance to revisit those very early Mr MX days. I hope the 4 x10min +1 motos is not detering people. Remember no marshalling and 10min +1 is probably only 2 laps more than most races we do in pre75  8).

The Pre90 riders need to get their entry in, you do not need an '89 model to be competative. This is a real oppurtunity for Pre90 to really get established in the VMX community in NSW and show that it has arrived, is healthy and is a great era and that would really be a great thing for our sport generally  ;) :).

I'm looking forward to this. A lot of effort's gone into getting it up and running so I reckon it'll be a great asset to our sport that will hopefully grow each year. Who remembers when Condo was bigger than the Nats? Some meets grow to become icons...the CRC's another.
