Pre 95 Class for NSW VMX

[firko]

This thread is about to turn to shit, and rightly so.

[Ted]

I agree

[TM BILL]

I assume i was a wind up anyway 

[nada]

Yeah Shaun, i tried to call you last week, but you didn't answer or return my call, so I spoke with Minno. I understand your flat out with other shit. But, give me a buzz if you have a chance, i wont be at the Raymond Tce, I'm heading home to Vic, i'll PM you my number.

I'm trying to get some interest, see who's out there, and see if the numbers are there. Nobody is going to knock back 15 riders, plus, i know there are guys out there with this on their mind, i just have to find them! A mate of mine in Vic is restoring a 94 CR 250 (McGrath Replica) I stumbled across it by accident, and he is as keen as! I have several esquires over Stalkbook.

In previous threads, we were told, if we want pre 90, 95 etc, then go out and do something, get what you want and do it off your own back. Well you decrepit old farts, You got your wish, I'm here and i wont go away. I'm getting off my backside, and i'm doing something about it!!!

Just to quantify my remarks about young riders . If they want to ride the current classes  thats really cool . just dont get bored and then want to change it up.

[nada]

It's only going to turn shit, because you want it to turn shit!

If you supported us, and helped us, instead of belittling us, we wouldn't be squabbling like 10yo schoolgirls! FFS we're all interested in the same thing! We don't want to ride at a pre 75 meet, nor do we want to gatecrash your little party. We want our own series, and movement!
No, Not piggybacked on the moderns! If you helped us, this would all end, but no! your all terrified of us! WHY?

Hey Nada
Why don't you arrange a pre 95 ride day (social only) and see how many turn up?
Pre entry only to gauge the interest.

I reckon pre 85 class Pre 90 class and Pre 95 classes would be cool if it got off the ground?

You just need a host club?

[nada]

Great Idea Paul!!!

I will do that! Thanks!

This is what i'm looking for, constructive comments, not constant negativity towards the movement.

[Paul552]

Ok I'm happy to help out if needed.
I don't know much about MA etc but I am sure there would be some good guys on here that would help.

I think you would need to at least offer pre 85 through to pre 95 or you will not have any numbers.
How many guys really have a pre 95 ready to ride?? I guess not so many?
I would be keen to have a go at pre 85

[nada]

Oh absolutely Paul, Pre 85 right through.

i'm hearing you, but if you give them something to aim to, they will fix up the old CR laying in the shed, instead of letting it rot.

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

Pre 95 is not a vintage bike. People keep pushing for newer classes to be included because they're nicer to ride, thats not what vintage mx is about and that's not why we ride it.
If you want something nice to ride get a modern bike!

[firko]

If you helped us, this would all end, but no! your all terrified of us! WHY? 

[vandy010]

how about the "2 stroke class"?

[TM BILL]

Great Idea Paul!!!

I will do that! Thanks!

This is what i'm looking for, constructive comments, not constant negativity towards the movement.

You only get negativity because you insist on voicing your ideas on a VINTAGE forum , in the same way i would if i went onto a footy forum and said i want the club to start playing soccer , after all they both use a ball

Vintage ends at Pre 90 Why dont you take your formula to the moderns  You say were terrified of you  why are you so terrified of taking what you want to ride to moderns 

What is so attractive about aligning your movement with in your words decrepit old farts   

Your era is like it or not the beige era but it is historically closer to modern MX than Vintage MX .

Obviously the next step is pre 2000  ( because you can buy a 1998 YZ400F with blown motor for $1.80 ) and then pre 2005 and so on . Nothing wrong with that if that's what butters your cracker  but take it to where it belongs moderns .

I genuinely and sincerely  wish you good luck with what you are trying to create    but don't kid yourself or others that what you want to do is VMX its not ,its an element of modern MX .

No worries mate. I am real sorry but I have not received any messages. Until I saw my pm's a couple of minutes ago I had no idea who Nada was.

As you know our series is fairly loose in that if you rock up on a pre'95 we won't knock you back from riding with us. However that should not be misinterpreted as acceptance of pre '95 in our club. As I have said to you in the past, ride if you want but you just will not be included in our point score.

Over the last three years we have been running "all in" races for pre '90. We are still at the stage where if we get a grid of 20 we are stoked. Pre '90 is a recognised vintage class in the MOM's and until it is operating at capacity I can't see our club even contemplating a push for pre '95 inclusion.

I would encourage you to work towards getting your own series going if you really think the world is ready for Pre '95. This is the path we have been on for three years after being told the same as you that if we wanted Pre '90 we would have to do it ourselves. I can tell you that it is not an easy road to travel. Sure you will have all sorts of people keen for it to happen in the beginning but when it is time to put words into action you may find yourself pretty lonely.

Good luck with it though!

Cheers
Shaun
