That is a pretty meagre return, take Col's eight Qlders out of the mix and that's 22 left including the locals. I know Perth is a long haul but WA has a squad at every nats no matter where they are so the tyranny of distance doesn't really stack up. Seems to be a demonstration of the apathy that has overtaken vmx over the last ten years : obviously with entries closing end of next week it's looking pretty grim but if the organising club get stitched up like Tassie did it sends a pretty clear message to all other clubs that the vmx community talk a good game but are regularly found wanting when it comes to show time.
It also means there is a shortfall of local entries which is a shame considering the calibre of entries already received for pre-78 Open. C'mon gang, get your entries in !
