2013 Australian Post Classic MX Titles

[odd1]

Couldn't agree more well said Brad

[SON]

This is a big opportunity to grow this entire category of Motorcycle Sport.
Lakes is a great track that is very suited to VMX,
It has the most experienced and still enthusiastic management of any Club, with recent history of MX Nationals,  Aussie Junior Titles 700 Riders / 7 Days, NSW Titles over 3 days and Heaven rounds
It is centrally located half way between Qld and Vic/SA, in the Dirtbike Capital of the Country.
It will attract a heap of spectators with the chance of converting to future competitors,
The Hunter was strong in ATV sales with the Stockton Sandhills so close, so this could be the Sidecars chance to gather in some new recruits,

Got yours going yet Yungy?

Brad , as an outsider  thats a easy solution .  Lets for example apply  the same thing to your class .  Let's say your twinport  class gets filled up with non conforming  later bikes .  I am not talking about  riding up a class .  I am talking about your title class being filled up  with all sorts of creations  and  you as a conformer  , being left behind more every year .  You would fight for that  or sooner later walk away .  We all would like to see more bikes .  There are plenty  of them around for each class ( except pre 68  perhaps )  Because they have to race mixed  during the year  and no eligibility  scruteneeirng  , they modify their bikes  to become more modern and easier on them  .  Knowing   that the titles are more strict  , they then choose not to enter  and prefer  to compete in their club champion ships  .  That's one big  portion  of them .  Others  just  choose not to travel  knowing they can't win , others  have no money left  after doing all their club rounds .  Others  have no passenger . Others  have a broken bike .  To answer your post Brad , yes you can gain a few by letting  all in , but in the long  run you will lose more than you gain .  I  am at the point where I rather walk away  , instead of trying to be the stalwart  for the old eras .  In pre 75 , I believe , I am the only one left that actually has raced one in its day . In pre 85  there is  about  3  that actually where around at the time .  The rest  just bought bikes  that where for sale .  Some of the people that didnt race in the days ( like odd )  have no idea of how it was and what was legal .  They just want to burn fuel on the bike they bought  and bastardise history  perhaps  unintentionally.  The answer is , if the enthusiastic newcomers  would be more era conscientious  and their energy could be steered in the right way it would solve  90% of the trouble , a win for everyone .

After reading only two lines its apparent you are talking eligibility. I'm not.

You need 4 things to go sidecar racing A reliable bike, a good driver a good passenger and a good attitude
Having ridden at the sidecar spectacular last year and championships this year the sport is full of young and old sidecar teams  that are willing to travel and do, but the younger teams are not interested in riding the older 4 strokes they cannot relate to them and they cannot afford a reliable one. Its a great sport but it not for every one. The 2 strokes are more reliable end of story which means they are cheaper to run and certainly don't cost 3k to rebuild. Lakes is a fantastic track for solos and sidecars but it will be pretty ordinary if only 3 turn. If you want to preserve history there is a great museum up here in Nabiac and i 'm sure they would love to have 3 shining examples of what a pre 75,85 and 90 bike should be. The nationals are only 5 months away could you please shut up and if you have to say something be positive.

Could there be a separate thread for the sidecar component of the post classic nationals? Then if someone doesn't want to read about them they don't have to.
Cheers, Grahame

exactly.

Just checked the 2013 MOMS again just in case they changed something in the last few days. For the 10th time. The MOMS only list a Pre85 sidecar class upto 1300cc. If we are swamped with Pre90 sidecar entries maybe a support class .

I feel that would seem to settle the debate on Pre85/Pre90 sidecars. Can we get something else discussed.

How many entries are likely for each EVO age groups?

[Kenneth S (222)]

What are the Evo Age Groups?

[09.0]

I'm keen that I can finally run the latter classes at the titles. I have an evo125, 250 and open, pre85 open, pre 90 125 and open. I have to now decide what to race. Reality is I will probably enter all and see how it pans out as usual  

[maico police]

I'd be in for my EVO age group (47), EVO 250 and Pre 85 125 at this stage.
