Pre 78 Rule changes

[maico police]

when Peter Drakeford was scrutineering at national meeting, he was so on the ball, and stopped a lot of cheaters, and people hated him, we need people like that

I should put my hand up for the job....

There I can't agree with you VMX247 , When you get your licence the rule book comes with it . (Officer I didn't know it 40k's I didn't read the limit signs ) Iain

I must enquire as to why I didn't get one with my M.A. licence last month.
Pancho.

Ive always got one when Ive renewed my lic Pancho . Its a shock to look at them on the book shelf all most 17 years of them in 1995 they only had 176 pages total 2011 ,277 pages and 9 pages on vintage moto cross . 1 and a 1/4 pages in 1995 's book . and that was under the heading of historic .

here in the west u only get the moms/gcr when they first publish them and  for a competition licence or offical.in other words the newbee has to basically ask for a copy.which they dont know exists.

Bazza, if your referring to my Australian Title winning machine, it was 20 % bike and 80 % me, doing the damage against those Elsinores, zundapps, and the 1975 Suzuki, in the over 40`s 125, and yes drakeford  was scrutineering that day, but you would never pick it, it fooled me, just goes to show what a match we where, MAN AND MACHINE.

There's no doubt you rode that Maico/Honda really well Dave but to say that it would never have been picked is a bit rich. Bazza, myself and a few others spotted that it had an XL185 or XR200 engine in fading light at dusk on Saturday, with at least half a dozen beers up. Drakey should have spotted it at Saturday mornings scrutineering but it it goes to show that even the experts can miss stuff.

Yes, you are right, with my comment, I was just playing around, my point is, being a scrutineer on the day, it is with the best interest of the sport ,to have scrutineers that know what they are looking at in each model, makes and era, I feel that there should be at least 4 Knowledgible scrutineers within the era they know on the day.

my god you talk some crap.

[albrid-3]

Is that the best you can say mainline, tell us your thoughts, instead of criticizing others.
A person that puts himself on the line to scrutineer a machine, should know what he is looking at when doing the job, its not only about checking spokes and handlebars.

No, it's exactly what the volunteers who give up their time at each race meet are supposed to do. They are there to make sure that the machine presented to them is safe to ride under the regulations, and using their own common sense. They aren't there to check every detail of each and every machine as it passes through scrutineering for eligibility for the class it's entered in.

[albrid-3]

That may well be the case, and I do agree with what you are saying, my comments are directed towards National level vintage race meeting, Australian Vintage Titles where the riders are racing for a titles, not club level trophies.

So you'd be quite happy with 3 days of in-depth scrutineering/eligibilty checks, and then 3 days of racing?
