NSW Pre65 MX Series

[GD66]

Totally agree on the photo above it would actually be perfect.... if GD66 can provide a link that would be great.

Onto it, son.

[Montynut]

What about the "The Roy East Classic Scrambles Championship".

I like that one

Any others?

[Montynut]

You could call it the ( Roy East Grand National VMX Series) or ( Roy East Grand National State Series)and dedicate the races to others within the program.

Dave this is actually a series of Pre65 races that runs at 3 meetings of the 7 round Heaven series this year. The meetings chosen to host the Pre65s are the most suitable circuits for the bikes.

The Pre65 do not have separate meetings as such. We are trying to rejuvenate Pre65 MX racing in NSW as the participation of these bikes has almost ceased in our club. We know the bikes are out there. We are trying to offer a limited number of meetings with a focus on suitable circuits to allow the owners and riders of these valuable machines to take part in a limited series which is more attractive we hope.

The attitude of Roy East to VMX sort of encapsulates what we are trying to do. He was super successful in his golden period but continued to ride his beloved Metisse into later life just for the sheer joy of it. I understand that Vic and other states have a stronger following of the Pre65 era and this series we hope will put life back into it in NSW.

We would really welcome riders from inter-state particularly at the CRC (August) or Canowindra Cup (October)

Can you give me dates and the closest events to me ( in Queensland).
I like the idea and would like to support it.

I see know what you are trying to do Montynut, Once the dates are set, I would also invite other clubs like the Classic scramble club, we have members with pre 65 bikes, and would be happy to support this series, I do hope that you keep it as a small series. This is an excellent idea and I wish you well, do it right and they will come. Plus it will give me a chance to come to nsw and catch up with my son.

For a pre-65 series, the Rickman pic would be ideal, but if it's a Roy East-titled series surely we could come up with as good a pic as possible of the great man himself.

It'd be lovely if we could get Roy's beloved Metisse along to the event. It's owned by Brian Clarkson who's not feeling too well himself these days. It'd be fantastic if he could bring it down from Port Macquarie,  I'll have a chat with him but I won't get my hopes up too high. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Herbie (Can't think of last name) that used to work with Clarko at Penrith Wreckers and owns the fluro orange T100 Tribsa Mk2 Metisse? I'd love to see that bike out again.
                                       
I'm also working on getting Edgar Phipps to bring two or three of his bikes below...........
                                       
                                         ESO Metisse
                                       
                                         Monark 500 Triumph
                                          Ex Terry Gunter/ex Graeme Bartholomew TriBSA
                                                       

                                       
                                        Gavin Martinis lovely ivory Matchless Metisse
                                       
                                       Jonesy has committed both his Cheney Matchless and Black Betty

It's also a good opportunity to bring the Adler up for a fang Dave. You do still have it don't you?

What about Bert Cavell and his lads on the family Beeza's, Mr Bamford and his Trumpy Metisse and my old mate Vern Grayson and his great little Cheney Triumph? I know the AJS is still in rebuild mode but has Dave T finished his Greeves yet?...........I'm just throwing 'em out there.
