Because only 3 Sliders turn up and on the other hand we struggle to pick the correct class for some specific Flattrackers.
If numbers dictate a change after next year then so be it.
By the way Jim, I've def got a rear wheel you can use for Temora.

I actually like the idea of the sliders running in their own event, however I'm a bit dissapointed to see the lack of good size entry lists, where the hell are they all, its pretty grim  when one race is actually won by a 75 yr old. Accepting entries from genuine flat track machinery could be a good plan to boost the spectical and get a bit more competition going, but as slides said not this year, leave the goal posts where they are for the series.

 Other than that, the Sydney West Series has been a spectacular success story, thanks to the CPMCC management team, but its become an open meeting.

 More than a few are hankering for the relaxed lower pressure of a 'club event.' 

 your's in sport, pancho.
dont follow me i'm probably off line!

The flat track entries will be low this year until all of the bikes are built.....next year should be a different case. The slider situation however is a problem. There are shitloads of bikes out there including some owned by forum members that haven't been seen in action for yonks. I know that health and business pressures are keeping Jonesy away but where are the rest? I've seen a lot of talk on here lamenting the demise of the slider but I'm still to see something positive being actually done to reverse the situation. I think it might be time to stick a rocket up the dormant slider rider population by perhaps using the Steve's *  facebook pages to lobby them as well as for posting old photos, not that's old stuff is a bad thing, like most I love the nostalgia but Steve's facebook page goes out to a strong slider group so it might be time to use the page to rally the troops for the good of the sport.

*or another purpose built facebook page devoted to bringing back the slider. Crying about the lack of sliders won't change anything, something needs to be done soon or they'll become funny little remnants of the past owned by old farts in cardigans and seen only in static nostalgia displays..
