Conondale Vinduro Sprint 29,30/03/14

[NSR]

It's on again.  We are really struggling for a date for this, so we have brought it forward to get it away from the bigger VMX meets.   
 
The Sunshine Coast MCC will be running an interclub TBC Competition Classic Enduro known as the “Metalink Conondale Vinduro Sprint” on the 29,30th of March 2014.
 
The format will be the same as last year:  1 heat will be each rider doing a timed lap of a 10-15min AORC type track.  Depending on the number of entries there should be 6 – 8 heats in the day.  The rider with the lowest elapsed time in each class will be classed as the winner.

It will be Pre90 but the classes will be different to VMX to reflect what was going on with enduro bikes at the time.  Some of the classes will change, Hell might even allow  Pre95 Enduro bikes    

More to come   

Cheers

Great stuff NSR!

So does moving the date allow some of the MX track to be included?

PS. Pre-95 : You Queenslanders a way to forward thinking and easy going!

We are looking at making the track a bit longer this year.  We're more leaning towards using trails not the MX track.  It always seems to me the MX track sections of a Xcountry are the boring bits and I am always wanting to get into the trails.  But if we think it will get us more riders we will look at it.

I have been thinking about the Pre 95 thing for a while.  There were still interesting enduro bikes in the early 90s and some major enduro events were happening.  The real change in enduros had not happened until the late 90s, where it went from enduro racing to Xcountry. 
The other reason is I don't see a line up of riders on perceived fragile MX bikes wanting to do more than 3 short lap races and we need to get a decent roll up to this one.

It was a fantastic event last year, the track was great to ride, the sprint format is easy on old bodies and the vinduro on the Saturday put the icing on the cake!

I'm looking forward to it.

Rick and I were sorting out the track today.  It is in great condition and will just need a bit of cleaning up.  As we did last year we will be making sure the track will be good for all types of bikes and riders.

Well done Noel, the T.A.R.T.s will be there with bells on. 

[NSR]

Regs and entry forms will be out soon.   

[NSR]

OK.  Just had conformation BMCC, QVMX & TMCC have officially joined the event.  So long as you are a member of one of these clubs or SCMCC your right to go. 

Although I think the classes were good I have culled them a bit for this year.

This is the bike that won last year. This is what they said about the Weekend: "Excellent event. It was one of the best events i went to all year. Thanks"
It would be great if Andrew made the trip from Cairns again.  He was quick. 
           

[NSR]

Ok the Sup Regs and entry forms are approved.  They will be on the Mqld and SCMCC web sites soon.  If you want one straight away PM me your email.

There much the same as last year. 
The classes have been cut a bit they're now:
CLASSES OF COMPETITION:
A. Pre 76
C. Pre 79
F. Evo under 200
G. Evo under 250
H. Evo Open
I. Air cooled under 200
J. Air cooled under 250
K. Air cooled Open
L. Pre 90 under 250
M.Pre 90 Open
We haven't gone to Pre95 for this one, Maybe next year.       
   
This is a totally unique Classic event and not to be missed.  The track will suit all bikes and riders.  Because each lap is scored with the transponders there is no dealing with faster riders coming past you.             
Cheers
