What will happen at the 2013 Classic Nats is 130-160 entries (250-350 bikes).The Perth guys are organising containers, Canberra is central,the Classic riders seem more dedicated than their later era brethren, etc. The 2014 Post Classic Nats will take off as apart from anything else the riders have had a giant wake up call and surely realise another failure will be an even bigger set back. Sure, a number of the reasons given for lack of entries are valid and no doubt taken on board, but at the end of the day its down to the riders supporting their sport.

I agree with Col...the 2013 Classic Nats will happen but it's not going to be the huge event it promises to be unless the classic era competitors get right behind the meeting. We need to show that the Nats concept is still alive and viable as far as the traditional vintage classes are concerned. As I said earlier, I'm entering three bikes in three different classes with three different riders and I'd love to challenge other guys with extra bikes that they won't be riding to do the same...offer them to friends without classic era bikes or fellow racers from the Post Classic scene. Klub Kevlar will also offer to sponsor a couple of classes or offer novelty trophies...whatever the Canberra club feels comfortable with. I've been doing a little work behind the scene to try and get the dormant pre 65 and pre 70 classes up and running again for three HEAVEN rounds this year and it looks as if the four or five extra quality pre 65 bikes I've got a committment from could well support the Canberra Nats as well. If we all work together we can make the Canberra Classic Nats the showpiece of the sport that the Post Classic meeting should have been.

It's truly up to us pre 75/78 competitors to make sure that this meeting succeeds, never before has the success of a meeting been so important to the credibility of our sport. It's time to start banging the Classic Nats drum as loudly and frequently as we can.

I agree Firko.  Without your prompting I have already arranged for 2 young people I know (1 female and 1 male) to ride this event on 2 of my bikes ..... now just need to get one going for myself

The wife and I will drive down to Canberra from sunny Qld and make a week of it, catch up with some old friends, introduce some of our long-time friends kids to the sport and hopefully have a wow of a time.

Now who can lend me a couple of pre 78 bikes 

[EML]

Good for you Simo....more of us need to get our bikes out there. Best to put anyone on them rather than have them sit in the shed.

If anyone has a pre78 bike collecting dust which doesn't have a rider for the Nationals, I'd be keen to race.

Best bet KJ is buy your own. Just happens I can help you out there.

The VMXWA has a couple of it's members travelling around Australia.  brother and sister Robert and Sarah Dillon.  They intend going to the Nats in canberra.  I was wondering if anyone can loan them a solo (each), they mainly riding 4 strokes and a sidecar (pre75, possibly two stroke)).  They on there day are quite a formidable pair on the sidecar with Sarah as the Pilot on a 500 Kwaka triple.  Only a preliminary request.  I'm also going to find out when they will be in other states whilst travelling down to canberra.  It appears at the moment we will have a container full of bikes (appox 24), plus a couple of others bringing theirs on a holiday.  Whilst there also appears a chance of a couple of sidecars being brought over (planning stage only).  just a general update and can't confirm until later 

[Slakewell]

I'm looking forward to the Nats this year and hopefully will have my health problems that have kept me of the track this year sorted by then and can ride my Husky in open pre 78. I believe at this time I will be lending my KTM 250 to current pre 78 champion again to defend his title from last year. I will also try and get some old timers back on the track as well.

[firko]

I might be able to loan Robert or Sarah a two stroke pre 70 or pre 75 solo to ride at the Nats as long as fussiness isn't one of their traits ......no four stroke motocross tackle (in built up condition that is ) or sidecars at Casa del Firko. They'll be battling to find a motocross sidecar of any vintage or condition in NSW, not much call for them here .

[Tossa]

No worries, mark, we'll just wait to see what comes up.  both were brought up on BSA's.  But I'm certain they will ride anything.  if they have a ladies class Sarah could do extremely well.

[EML]

Wont get a two stroke multi in Qld either but might be able to findan outfit of some description though they wont like being beaten by a sheila

[Tossa]

she's not frightened of banging handlebars and sacrificing her brother to win!!lol
