2013 Australian Post Classic MX Titles

[Montynut]

I did read the MOMS Scrivo... (albeit eventually...thru my 'green tinted glasses'  ) thats what the apology was for....   

In any case - I agree with your last post about people expecting meetings to be tailor made around them. Happens all the time.

This is going to be a great event. 

OK sorry I misread your post must have had my Spanish glasses on

What about the non age group race being an all powers race? The 125's are always the smallest group also. I think the Evo 125 age group class will end up being an all in 125 race, scored separately.

We only have a 40 bike grid I would be very disappointed if we only have 40 EVO entries in total.

What you are suggesting is that the age races are the premier class and that is just not the case, well certainly not in a lot of peoples minds.

I know of at least 10 people that want to enter two EVO classes and they are the only classes they have bikes for. What you are suggesting can only be looked at after entries close.

Everyone just need to enter what they want to ride and then a program can be put together that is normal race meeting process.

just a suggestion to throw into the hat. Not everyone would enter, especially the older guys that would feel they had a better chance in the age group. Fastest 40 get in or some other way to get to forty gates.
I also can't quite grasp why it has to be a three day event and still have time issues. The last pre78 nationals was a two day event and had pre 60,65,70,75,75 age group, 78,4 stroke, ladies and sidecars. The races were about 10 minutes long (?).
This one is Evo,Evo age group, pre85 and 90 and sidecars doing approx. 15 minute Motos. 9 versus 5 events. I must be missing something but what? Due to not enough numbers some were combined such as an age class and women's.

Brad no one said we had time issues if practice is on Friday. What was said is that we have time issues if trying to run it over two days with all the classes forming a grid.

I cannot comment on the last Classic Titles although all reports indicate they were very successful and enjoyed by all and we hope that these titles will be the same. You suggest that the races at those Classic Titles were about 10mins, the races at these titles are 15min +1 lap which effectively means a 20min race by the time the circuit is clear for the next race. Even the 5 lap age races will effectively be a 15min race by the time the circuit is clear (last rider finishes).

It would be expected that EVO and Pre85 at least will be large fields so the opportunity to combine classes will most likely be less. The objective is to allow as many people as possible to enter and take part not to eliminate a lot of riders during qualifying.

When entries are in then races that can be combined will be. Everyone seems to be trying to put the cart before the horse so to speak. How can anyone possibly expect that race scheduling, race make up (combining) or race timetable can be done now?

The entry forms will be out ASAP and then people can enter the events they want to I assume that is how it operated at the Classic Titles you mentioned.

The Club and officials running this event (not me) are some of the most experienced MX officials in NSW and we have to give them our full support. They have ran National Junior Titles (an 8 day event), National MX title rounds and numerous State Title rounds

I honestly thought this was a discussion about possible scenarios and timetables, restrictions and all other things that were previously mentioned.Without going back through the thread I was sure you were asking others opinions regarding these things. I'm now a little confused what this thread is for.
 Reading the headline its to say its confirmed. Okay fantastic, I'll be there with bells on. I will say no more. If you aren't up for suggestions or general talk on this subject, maybe you should lock it.

[Montynut]

Brad I am not sure why you seem offended. The objective of this thread is to float current issues for the Post Classic titles for comment. Nothing more, nothing less. Most of the issues aired throughout this thread have had both positive and negative rsponses.

My reply was simply responding to some of the points from your post there was no intent to either dispute or support the validity of the points you made.

There is little more that can be acheived until the supp regs are published although locking the thread would serve little purpose.

Question to the organizers, somewhere along the way when I was looking at either the SA entry form or the Tassy entry form, I think I recall one of the regulations for the riders was we all had to have our name and or number on our riding jerseys. I think the reasoning behind this was so we could quickly be identified in case of a multi bike accident and we were not conscious and the people attending did not know us. I may have dreamed this but I don't think so, if I have my apologies, just ignore it.

My question is, will this be one of the regulations for this meeting?

Dude, you are to much. 
Sniffing that T shirt ink certainly has it's benefits.

I think just a back number is enough. More to do with identifying riders being naughty and for lap scorers (yes I know we have transponders).
Bit hard to get your name on body armour if its worn on the outside (like I do).

[head]

Back numbers are incase it is muddy and you can be identified by lap scorers when the numbers on your bike are covered in mud.  Transponders solve the problem. But usually still required.

[JohnnyO]

In Qld you need to have your number only on your back whether it be on body armour or your jersey.

12.6.5 Back Numbers – Seniors and Juniors
12.6.5.1 No junior or senior may compete without
back numbers, except in Enduro, MotoTrials, Road Racing or interclub/closed
to club competitions unless wearing the
machine identification number on their back
in contrasting colours and with a minimum
size of 125mm height and 20mm width of
stroke.

Thanks, that answers my question

Good News for the Titles
In my opinion one of the best motorcycle riders in the country
Rob Jones is going to ride the event,
Rob is just back from 6 months training with Steve Gall.
