Can't you just fill out the forms and send them in regardless?

That way, when MQ finally figures it all out, they can't blame you for not applying for the licence in time...

4 weeks til entries close, what's the problem?
You know most people enter in the last week.
You won't find any talk about the Nats on here, racers don't waste their time on here anymore...

seems to me we aren't paying the good people at MQ enough dough.
They take up to 3 weeks to electronically print a 1 day license and can't put the regs up on their own page.
So, using that as a yard stick, they sound like budding pollies and so must need more cash to make it swing.
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF TWF....................................................WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF!!!!!

No it does not take 3 weeks to print a SOML. However as the entries close 2 weeks before the meeting I think it would be a reasonable thing to apply for a SOML at least a week before the close of entries.  The money from the licence eventually goes to MA also.  Just one other thing if someone who obtains a SOML for the meeting, they can use the cost of that licence towards a full National Licence, if they apply for it within 30 days.

Vaughn for VMX in NZ  there is no licence required at all  :) for most Moderns yes you can buy a licence on the day $15.00 I think . Some modern events do not require a licence .

If your from overseas at a VMX im running I wont charge entry fee either , just nice to see overseas visitors  :)

Maybe someone can ring MQ and point this out to them. I found them very easy to get along with at the classic nats.

Maybe you could just have entries on the day but. 

1. You couldn't have a printed program
2. Sorting out race order would be very difficult, (we will try to not have riders racing back to back)
3. Using transponders would be a lot harder, you need the info to set things up etc.
4. Planning everything is a lot harder if you don't know how many riders you will have.
5. How can you give sponsors full value unless all of the above are done.

Also please the meeting starts on the Friday 25 April (Anzac Day). In the fortnight before that Friday you also have Easter so that is extra working days lost.

If there is someone who can run the meeting better (next year), please apply to MA now.  I am more than willing to sit back and see someone do things better.

The view expressed above is my personnel view.

I don't think any of the questions have been critical of the club. It's all MA guff, that I can see.

I haven't entered yet because my wife's credit card was cancelled by her bank, because they suspected fraudulent activity in 2011...
That should be sorted next week, then I will enter. :)

So tell me where on this forum of late there has been some good discussion about the upcoming racing at Echo Valley other than the eligibility bullshit smothering the event?
There is plenty of discussion going on at QVMX events Popeye. Were you at Biddaddaba, Coles Creek or the Troy Bayliss Expo yesterday??

Thank you John I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Also I have organised a Post Classic bike/rider school at Echo Valley three weeks before the Championships. 

Please check this post for info.  http://forum.ozvmx.com/index.php?topic=33797.0

If you are interested let me know or post on the above thread.
