Mate I agree that Ravenswood is the 2nd PCMX C'ship, as Toomoomba was the first no question.
With the Classic, 1991 was the first so this year is the 24th anniversary and recognition of Firko and Co should stem from that date.in my opinion.
This is of course regardless of whether a host club chooses to use that in it's promotion. As pointed out, it is also WAVMX 20th which is great achievement.
There are some proud clubs out there. Brisbane MCC was started in the late 1920s, became a dedicated "vintage" club in about 1990, and ran the first of it's three Nationals in 1994.
Viva la vintageone!!!

My quoted entry stats always number of riders. With Classic number of machines is usually double that

Good.

I had this discussion several times with Barry Marshall who always wanted to over state numbers (sensationalise).

When the Shell Advance/Sunshine State MX series was at it's peak it didn't need that.  I think the most we ever had was around 440 riders on over 500 bikes.  Anyway with calls for numbers to be cut it didn't need over stating.

Off course that didn't stop one journalist saying there was over 600 entries, when he was calling for numbers to be cut.  This is why I always try to get the facts not the fiction.

I know that, but you and others need to be recognised. You are part of history and your name shall be heralded from the rooftops and spoken in awed whispers by small boys.

Pins in the old effigy aye! Sounds painfull! Just a point to remember, the Southern Capes club are conducting the CMX Nats this year and are a "modern" club. Maybe there could be an agreement to include the phrase "Celebrating 20 years of Classic MX in WA". Just a thought.

Up to you WA guys and the Capes, but to celebrate 20years is very appropriate. Good luck with it and let us know if we can help in any way.

Get onto the 20th year celebration Nick. The 15th celebration was a ripper of an event so by rights, the 20th should be even bigger.
