I’d like to see the TBC to be as the MoMS. 1 x classic class and 1 x Post classic class, I’m sure some of the legends would fill the spots on 500 2 strokes. Vintage riders with 2 bikes could get 2 rides, throw a couple of yanks into the mix. All on sticky 19"s.

From the few demonstration rides Springsteen and Chris Carr did in the US last year, they showed they still have good pace. Would be great to see a few US guys from an earlier era come an have a crack. It's not just 3 races either, there is the week leading up to the event that helps promote dirt track not only nationally but internationally!

Personally I would like to have a chat face to face with Davey Durelle.

Cheers,
Steve

Has the EVO class been run at the Classic DT Championships lately.  It wasn't on the sup-regs for Canberra and I don't think anyone has run a Post Classic DT championship yet.

Temora NSW 2013

Yes you are right.  The 2014 MOMS lists EVO class Champions.  So somehow it was let slip through. I know Canberra didn't have them on the sup-regs last year.

As for the TBC it should remain EVO (why change!!!!)

Most will probably disagree but I would like to see Framer Flattrackers at the TBC, than old Motocrossers with 21" fronts,
Astros and Champions would add to the TBC, I don't think the current bikes do!

To my knowledge they can run whatever wheel & tyre size they want too.

The TBC Evo Exhibition Class has been run under OEM wheel size rule for the last two years. The first year also included a "control tyre".

FWIW I would like to see either a Framers Class (if we could get enough out there) or alternatively a Pre '90 on oil set up class which could also include sliders just like BITD. Both of these depict different era's/styles of dirt track with the framers obviously giving us an American flavour and the big bore 2 strokes on wets depicting Aussie DT in the eighties.

Just my $0.02

It'd be great to use the TBC to showcase the older bikes, but is there room for Evo AND Pre 90 AND Framers? Personally I'd love to see a Pre 85 or 90  class on oil track setup like back in the day as you say, but would there be the interest in setting up a whole bunch of CR/KX/YZ 500s for one race a year? Would  TB21 be interested in adding those classes?

I see where the interest is in the class, but truly the organizes are trying to reward the riders that support "evo"(I assume) racing by rewarding the "evo" racers. The 19'' wheel does not suit all tracks but if we get on the bandwagon I think riders will be surprized how good they are. The event probably is too big already and the Classics are lucky to be included in the program (bloody fantastic event). Personally I would love to see a US rider race the old bikes and will give one my bike to one to ride. One rider has shown interest. It would only add to the spectacle and promote Classic racing. Still surprized how many spectators photographed my bike.

No there would no chance of running two exhibition classes. I think though that 500 2T's set up for oil with perhaps some legends involved such as Kev Horton, Chris Watson, Gally etc would be awesome to watch.

I've got a 88 YZ490 that I'd be happy to loan to Casso if he was keen. And with a year to get ready setup shouldn't be a problem  ;)
