Nepean Club Rounds.

[Curly3]

Feedback please.
Given that there are a lot of guy's that have several bikes in the shed, eg - size & style of bike.
In the hope of raising interest & participation in our club days, could/should we introduce a different " Feature " class at each round?
eg - Sliders, Twins, Flattrackers, 125, 250, the forgotten 350's, the list could go on.
Obviously we'd have to drop one of the current events but it could also be on rotating basis.
I'm sure we could find CO's or individual willing to sponsor each Feature event.
I'll put my hand up for one.
Cheers, Steve

P.S. I reckon it would help drag some interesting bikes & riders out of mothball's at least once a year.

 Back in the 'good old' days a common event was the good old "Aces Invitation" which of course included the winners/place-getters of the 'Senior 'A' race and selected riders from other events, say senior or junior 'A' fields and maybe riders that dropped the model or had machine failures etc.
 
 I've been thinking that in club days and modern day 'restricted' events especially, that this would be a good thing to re-establish.
 
We presently see at Nepean days the slider events are separated from the 'chookies'.
 
An "Aces Invitation" last race on the programme could put an outstanding slider rider or two from the days racing safely mix it with the other top riders on the day.

 Plus what you say especially about 350s as there are a few old 350s still about. B31 beezas that are 450cc or so could be a prob!

C'mon Sydney Classic Dirt Trackers, surely there's more ideas men out there?
A bit more enthusiasm than just settling for the same old same old.

Hi Steve,
We do it back here, have a feature race ran in the opposite direction of the track for each class then have a ACES invitation. It really sorts the riders out or stuffs em .

Yeah Grasy, something to break up the monotony.
As long as you're not known as, Back Door Dave.

All good got the bikes up high but shit me missus aint happy they are all in the lounge room. No things are not that bad here but there is a lot water in the low lying areas. My thoughts go out to those whom dwellings have been affected. Still nothing like the Brisbane floods last year.

I hear what you're saying Jim, we battle to get through 2 rounds sometimes let alone 3.
If a " Feature " event was set into the program of each round at the start of the season, people would know what they can or can't ride.
Had the pleasure this morning of finding 2" of water right through the workshop, courtesy of some macca's crap blocking the drain, had to go out on site to finish a job and will have to deal with it tomorrow.
