2015 MAXIMA RACING OILS CONONDALE CLASSIC 8th/9th August

[Ted]

You're.not wrong Trev. You are entitled to your opinion. You did call for civil conversation and thats all it is. I was just curious. My opinion is that all events need constant upgrading regarding formats. My club, Heaven, scheduled a club meet on a dead flat oval with no jumps three and a half hours west of Sydney a few years ago and very quickly it turned into their biggest meet. Since then they have introduced team racing, 15 minute GP's and countless other additions to their program, all very well supported. This sport needs creative ideas introduced constantly to keep people interested. Unfortunately mates racing mates is dying a slow death. With this event QVMX are committed to giving the rider and public something that no other club can or has not offered. For that alone they are to be congradulated for putting them on the line and having a real crack

the average punter, 95% or higher of the field, is there to race mates, drink beer, and have a good time.

Prize money adds another couple of elements, Eligibility Scrutineering of machines,
 $70 to raise a protest of machine when there's $1500 on the line, and no-ones going to do that, because it's mates racing mates "right",
 bikes being stripped to check for performance enhancing parts, no one would do that, would they?
what do we call fair racing now," get out my way you old gumby, I'm here to win my $1500" that wont happen, because it's mates racing mate's.
I know, we will get a heap of young blokes to race our bikes for us in these races, wow look at them go.

The Conondale Classic is a benchmark event, and as for me, I just want to make sure the "EVENT" is the main part of the competition and not the other way round.
I know I'm wrong Ted, so I wont promote a punters point of view anymore.

THE EVENT WILL BE A SUCCESS, AS ALWAYS, AND THANKS TO THOSE RUNNING IT.

cheers Trev

There should be Eligibility Scrutineering at all Classic/Post Classic meetings.  As for pulling bikes down no one is going to do that without a protest and if the protestor loses he or she pays costs.

There are still races there for the average VMX guy the other races are extra.

Mates racing mates is done every other weekend.
I have suggested several times that the name riders should all be together in one area and a meet and greet of some nature.

pick bits from wiki ~~ Craig 'Ando' Anderson is an Australian motocross rider from West Wallsend in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales.

In 2003, Anderson travelled to the United States to compete in the AMA 125cc national championship for the Yamaha of Troy team, he finished the year in seventh place overall and collected one win at Southwick, Massachusetts. Anderson was fired from the team following the season despite having two years remaining on his contract. In 2004, he moved up to the 250cc AMA national championship where he finished in 17th place overall. Anderson realised his future lay back in Australia, so he returned specifically to ride for Honda in the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

Your fence

[Slakewell]

Hey Ted Those Pipes are looking good on the Huskies, I was out there the other day.
The Horwoods are not riding at this stage which is shame Christian won the EVO big bore up there a few years back.

[Ted]

Yep. Prime8 is going all out. They've got Craig Anderson riding one of them. The pipes look great.

Will be good to see full fields racing bike testing distances for a change. No 4 1/2 minute trophy here 

Are you coming up Mick? Promises to be a huge event.

[Starion VR4]

Just looking through the supp regs.... & what do you know. No 4 Stroke class. Given that the 4 strokes are gaining popularity & have been included in MOMS this year I can't for the life of me think why they have been "EXCLUDED". What gives QVMX?
