Okay after many years it is time to get Northern Districts MCC into running a Dirt Track series once more.
We are going to try something a little different to what is currently on offer. Our series is going to be fairly and squarely aimed at providing a relaxed "club day" atmosphere catering largely for the "older rider" on "older machinery".
If you take a look at the entry form for round 1 you will see that we will be offering vintage classes separated by machines with drum or disc brakes. As braking ability is a major factor in Dirt Track performance this class structure is aimed at maximising grid sizes in our vintage ranks while attempting to keep performance levels comparative. Obviously parity is never going to occur and is not what we are after.
You will also see some age racing classes. We believe these classes should be the main attraction. Where a rider regardless of age can compete with others of similar ability and common sense
Modern classes will also be catered for however are support classes only and really designed for older guy's who also want to ride newer machinery.
Limited Junior classes are also there and would suit children/grandchildren of competitors.
There are bound to be teething problems and what we propose will not be everyones cup of tea but I hope that we will be able to provide some events that are currently missing from the Dirt Track scene and would be appreciated by our "less serious" racers.
I would welcome your constructive feedback on what we are proposing. If you like what you see then please get your entry in asap. You can download an entry form from
