Pre 90 vinduro racing in Victoria - DMCC / Scooter News
« on: February 11, 2015, 11:41:29 am »
Dandenong MCC & Scooter News have announced a Pre 90 Vinduro Series. There'll be four rounds apparently, with first event on Feb 21 at Three Bridges.

So that's what's happened to 3bridges then. Bit disappointing as attended all of them and supported the club. O well no worries

Interesting.
The handicap system sounds like a good idea, it will do away with 10 thousand classes.
$150.00 entry will make it hard as well as not having much time to get ready for it, I hope enough support it so I can maybe give some of the other events a go.

Luffy this is completely separate from the three bridges vinduro run by oakleigh club, it's on the same land though. Geoff they are trying to organize a non competitive class to lower entry costs for first timers or those without ma licenses etc. I agree $150 is a tad bullspit for a couple of hours riding and doesn't do the best to entice newcomers.

     Is it for up to pre 90 bikes only or are there more classes with
     later bikes as well on the Day.

I think the option of one day DMCC membership is a good thing as it gives casual punters an easy way in.

This property is used by various clubs, so this event doesn't preclude Oakleigh MCC running their non competitive vinduro there some time. 

I look forward to reading a report & seeing some pics of the Feb 21 event as I cannot make it there myself.

$150 is a lot! At least double what I've seen for other club days.
Certainly puts a wet blanket on my enthusiasm.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I guess if you are a DMCC member & have a yearly comp licence it wouldn't be that much. I thought it sounded reasonable but I haven't ridden a comp event for a few years now so maybe I'm out of touch.

Thanks Tex for starting this thread!  We have a Facebook page event set up now ('friend' Steven Davis to join) but here is the full competition info, and entries can be done on the www.dmcc.com.au website (must pre-enter, but can pay on the day)
Pre90 Vintage Off Road Event, with handicap scoring.

As part of the DMCC’s 2015 Off-Road champs the club will be running the first of four Pre90 Vinduros, sponsored by Scooter News. These vinduros will be open to all Pre90 bikes – so you can ride your pre90 bike on the Saturday and your modern bike on the Sunday. You don’t have to be a gun rider to be in the points in this vintage series – the older you are and the older the bike, the bigger your handicap will be. Everyone will have a good chance. And there is a non-competitive rally class too (which is cheaper to enter).

The first round is at Three Bridges (Sanders Apple Orchard) on Saturday 21st February starting mid afternoon, and followed by the modern bikes on Sunday 22nd February. Here’s some details:

Competition Rules for the 2015 DMCC Scooter News Vintage Off Road Series championships

•   Entries must be received by the closing date before the round. See www.dmcc.com.au for details. No need to pre-pay but you must pre-enter
•   NO ENTRIES WILL BE RECEIVED ON THE DAY however you can pay the entry fee on the day
•   Riders will be required to be a full DMCC member at $100.00 for 12 months OR purchase a day membership for $25.00. You must hold a MA race licence ($295.00) OR purchase a one day licence on the day ($60.00). Rally class can pay for a one day Rec licence ($25) and one day membership ($25)
•   Riders will also be required to have a transponder (electronic timing device) - these can be hired for $20.00 on the day. Not applicable for rally class
•   Entry fee will be $45.00 (so $45 if you ride the vinduro on Saturday and then $34 to ride in the modern club champs on Sunday as no need to pay the rider levy twice)
Sign-in at 3pm, with riders briefing at 3:30pm
•   Bikes must be 1990 models or older, they must be stock or have aftermarket parts of that vintage
•   Bike must be well silenced preferably with enduro mufflers on them as noise will be our biggest enemy. We will accept more modern mufflers on bikes if it keeps them quieter than stock.
•   The tracks will be kept to a maximum of a 20 minute loop or shorter and the event will be run as a cross country as long as the weather permits.
•   The tracks we will be using won’t be too gnarly and won’t have any extreme obstacles on the loop. Your average rider will be able to negotiate the tracks without too many problems.
•   The series will be run on a handicap system (age of rider and age of bike) which may need to be tweaked as the year progresses. The older the bike and the older the rider, the better score you will have at the end of the race – so everyone will get a chance. All will be revealed on the day (so don’t get too focused on it, it’s vintage racing and vintage bikes).
•   Unique trophies befitting the nature of the event will be presented after the last of the four rounds – dates of the future rounds will be released in due course with the last round set to be a ripper
•   Even if you don’t want to race, enter the rally class, pay your entry fee and ride the track.
•   Spectators will be free, and welcome
•   Camping available

Luffy the Oakleigh MCC website says the vinduro will be run at three bridges later in the year
"Oakleigh Motorcycle Club’s Three Bridges Vinduro event in March is postponed until later in the year. We will let you know when a scheduled date is known."
Hope to see you on 21st Feb

Sorry I should have clarified, I came up with that price based on my circumstances...
Entry fee $45.00
One day club membership $ 25.00
Transponder hire $20.00
One event race licence $60.00

If your a regular racer with a yearly license and a transponder then it's a much better deal

Hey Viper, will this be a sprint format or something else?

Which means what these days?
Do we ride for a set number of hours or laps?

Event is for 1.5 hours and you ride past the timing (transponder) point and see how many laps you get and how long you go for.
Loops are going to be around 20 mins
If weather conditions are too hot/dusty it will be sprint
