Our point of view at least 150 ~ to make it worth the hosting clubs effort.
Track prep,venue inspection,venue cleanup,water,event marketing,Race Sec,programs,race entries,race order,officals,meetings,spectators,pits,parking,canteen,toilets... etc etc etc etc

to think there will probably be 26 riders come over from VMXWA to race in the Classic championships in Canberra.  Go figure!!

Our sport would be in a much better shape if we here on the Eastern side of the island had the same enthusiasm as the West Aussies. For as long as I can recall there have been West Aussies coming over to support our East Coast Nats....I can remember Brian Squires and Stewey Allred coming over in 1993 and it's been container load of them coming over most years ever since. Think of the effort they go to and then think of the limp dick excuse you're using not to drive for four or five hours (no camping ).

 

X2 Firko  while i dont have a great deal of enthusiasm or interst in the post classsic nats ( my interest i pre 78 back) i have a great respect for those from the west who make the trek every Year .
I hope as DT says entries will roll in this week so the event can go ahead .

Looks like a great track and the club has gone all out , but i understand not camping at the track will put a   few off . Why cant people camp at the track ? is it  another NSW speedway act thing like parking in the pits ?

Geezus Bill, I thought Dave wrote that.

 No camping 'cause it's under a high voltage power cable and they don't want all these VMXers turning into zombies that glow oin the dark  

[Rossvickicampbell]

I will probably get howled down for this - is the lack of entries because the 5% that voiced for the longer races/championship status etc - have put off the 95% that were going for a ride?  I understand the stance but the big ones recently have catered for everybody - "make it for A graders and A graders come" but what about the rest?

Had to ask?

[EML]

Noy a bad point but it is a national title, if you want it the other way just go to HBBB and CD.
Maybe every state should just hold one of each each year and be done with, that way if you are holidaying inter state you can join in the fun, or stay at home and still get your fix.

cost of licence,cost of entry,travel cost,cant camp to keep cost down,in a recession = no punters??
I know all should make an effort but in hard times may be to much?

Seems to be variation in numbers even at events like C/D depending where it is held.

we asked what you guys wanted & accomodated for exactly that
you wanted 15min motos & you are now whinging about a meeting over 3 days,
do the maths guys & our format was based on best case senerio, without splittiing any age classes
I have held off saying this for too long, it is worse than dealing with 50cc parents, you can`t be pleased

positive day today with 3 hrs of a sidecar gracing our track, & loving it
hopefully the experience will be shared on this forum
thanks for today guys (we loved it)

Well I have just got back from Lakes and all I can say is it was absolutely awesome The track was well prepared the facility's are fantastic they have catered for 700 odd riders for 7 days for the modern nationals so these guys know how to put on an event. The camping thing is power company's policy as the track sits on 2 easements if they turn up and find people camping they will stop the meeting but as said earlier 700 competitors managed. There is an area to put the bikes at night and the pits will have sercurity. The organizers have told me they will be making there decision on the 12/13th.
Please don't get on here complaining  about not getting to ride  and clubs not supporting us its a two way street  
and so far the club has put its money where its mouth is it is up to to us to do the same.
Popeye just drove down from QLD 8 hrs  rode for 4 hours and jumped back in his car and drove back.
toughen up princess's this is Motocross not lawn bowls!

Newcastle Herald and NBNTV were there and will both do stories on the Sidecars and the event.
I will post links after they are published.
Going to be worth a look just for the GOPRO footage
 again thanks to Steve & Popeye and off course Danial and Liam the passengers

That's not correct at all, we asked for the Evo age group races to be combined into the Evo capacity classes so that the meeting could be held over 2 days.
I'm putting my entry in next week.. you should go back to the thread where all this was discussed and see how many of those commenting actually put an entry in, probably not many..

[Lakes MBC]

Johnny,
please read post from very early on
we asked MA, but it was not allowed to be
this is an Australian title meeting & must be treated as such,
so you can retract that comment whenever you wish
Odd1, Popeye & Danny may be the only ones to experience what we have to offer

[JohnnyO]

I don't need to retract anything, it was months ago we asked for races to be combined to keep it to 2 days and nothing was said about MA rules at that time.
