2013 Australian Post Classic MX Titles

I like the idea of scutineering and practice on the Friday. Five laps is probably ok for the age group races (the poor ol' buggers  ) I still want the mains to be 15min+ a lap though.

that program looks pretty good to me as a base to start from (and use as is).
i like how the races flow through the era's and capacities.
i reckon that sort of thing is easy for both spectator and competitor to follow.

Vandy he said at the top of the post  this is not the race order..

Classes look great. Friday scrutineering and practice, spot on.

I was going to enter all 3 Evo classes but now i'll get 18 races! Might have to leave a bike at home..

Has anybody asked Mr Burt if he will be in Australia come May??

I hear he may be out of the country with Heavens no 1.

Yes Bob, you are correct there! Deano & Seano will be riding the fast tracks in the US! Giving one an even break

Hi Guys,
I think the format for the racing looks good ,But in very vast experience it is very dangerous to not leave at least 2mins between races as you have not allowed for any incidents in the race or at the start let alone that the first rider finishes at 20mins but the last rider will probably finish at 25 mins and you will eventually get further and further behind and have to cut races and times, Sorry to put a downer on every thing but I personally would allow at least 2 minutes and maybe even 5 minutes between races to be on the safe side and be able to finish the day with all races keeping there time schedules .It only takes one ambo and your timetable is shot to bits trust me I no

If the race sec or club would like a hand in any way please dont hesitate to give me a call

Cheers
Fatboy

Hey Monty, what is an average lap time for a VMX bike at the Lakes on the long track?

Thanks

[Montynut]

Bob the fast guys are around the 2min mark (just over) the figure used in the current thinking is an average of 2:10sec


There has been further discussion on race make up and two formats for age races has emerged

1) All EVO age groups for a capacity run together eg <30,30-39, 40-49, 50-59 & 60+ for EVO125 run in one race. This has the advantage of all riders on similar bikes and therefore no one gets roosted and the racing is close and relatively equal.

2)We mix the capacities. This has the advantage of allowing riders within a race to see who they are racing against and also allows the one bike to be used in multiple age races.
          Age race 1 – 125cc (<30, 30-39), 250cc (40-49), >263cc (50-59, 60+)
          Age race 2 - 250cc (<30, 30-39), >263cc (40-49), 125cc (50-59, 60+)
          Age race 3 - 500cc (<30, 30-39), 125cc (40-49), 250cc (50-59, 60+)

Please correct me, my understanding is that in the Classic Titles there is a Pre75 outright title as well as Pre75 age groups. You can run a Pre75, Pre70, Pre65 or Pre60 machines in the age races.

Format 2 for me. I like knowing the other guys on 250s in my race are in my age group and I think it would add variety to the event for spectators.

LOL Ken... who has time to side glance at stickers and badges on other bikes!!???   

I am too busy trying to read the track !!   

[Hardo]

...oh sorry Scrivo - I think I would prefer the first option. "Capacity" races, rather than the mix.
Especially at the Lakes track... Those uphills could be interesting with a mix of 125, 250 and open bikes.
