Suzuki Classic Dirt 10

[Graeme M]

I know this is my pet hobby-horse and in no way am I trying to find fault with anyone, but I still reckon it's all about promotion. And I point to the success of the Troy Bayliss Classic. So many people to a dirt track event.

I think today we have so many events to choose from there has to be something that makes people sit up and take notice and what to be a part of it.

With Classic Dirt it's not just the riding, it's the whole scene. The vibe. The sheer joy of being part of it. And to be honest, I think that seems to have been missing this year. Look at this forum, hardly any of the usual razzle-dazzle and talking it up. People seem to want to play things down more than talk them up.

So while it's a shame that CD10 isn't going ahead (and I am pretty disappointed too, my only vintage outing for the year!), next year let's see if we can't really talk it up and get that buzz going.

That's my two bobs worth!

A better understanding of what a vinatge motorcycle is. 

I'll probably live to regret asking but.......What is this understanding we down south don't seem to possess?

[oldfart]

Bazza you have mail.

Can i suggest a meeting to take place in NSW between all interested parties?

A resolution needs to be found, to suite the next gen and the existing passionate members. If we all act like adults, then I can see an outcome, work together and present a "United Front" from the start and not when it's too late.

I think its time all cards were laid down, ideas given consideration, opinions respected! Keep an open mind. We have some brilliant business brains within the sport, why not use them?

I realise, I am at fault here, but, I am keep to help, i'm keen to see VMX survive and become a revolution again.

Maybe we can get Supersenior involved, Col's success in QLD has been unquestionable. Just a thought?

Anyone else care to add?

No problems in NSW  If something is attractive it will be patronised

Been to a Heaven meet? Always a huge success

Not yet unfortunately, I have been working on every event this year:( But i am a paid up member of Heaven and am looking forward to attending a meeting, I will be renewing my membership, and hopefully the stars align, and i can attend. I have been told they are great.

[Ted]

You have been told right See ya in the future

[JohnnyO]

Queenslanders are obviously far more enthusiastic, we had another hugely successful race day yesterday at Echo Valley. The way I see it a lot of southerners are always looking for reasons why not to attend...

[supersenior 50]

Ok NSW, there's been some disappointments with Post Classic Nats, Classic Nats, and now CD falling over. Two Queenslanders supported the Pre65s at Crawford River and reported it a good meeting.
We hope the NSW riders support the Classic Nats and help us end the year on a high.

[Nathan S]

NSW has two active VMX clubs, both in good health (if not "gangbusters").

The failure of the Classic Nats was not related to the riders.

Not quite. Penrith now only run one full classic meeting a year and this year even it was piss poor compared to recent years.

[jimg1au]

Maybe we've reached saturation point?

[Slakewell]

That is so disappointing I'm gutted. But I understand the business point of view.
