Looks like the 4 strokes are pretty much a dead class and no talking will sway them otherwise. People have to realize it's "progress", after all they had to make room for pre95 and more Pro's. Next year it most likely will be pre75 and older that will go to make room for pre2000. These new classes are great for buisness with lots of resto's and parts sales.

So if I get enough red German bikes we can have a separate class.  Now how many can I get?

Is that running? If not we can hold that class in the pits  ;)

If your club is the promoter, wouldn't you think it would consider its members first, for their year round support. The Classic is for everyone, but was foremost about QVMX members and their vintage bikes. Growth is great, the bigger the better, but not by excluding classes of core members. Maybe time can be made for them if numbers present, it's your club, get to a meeting and ask!

cheers Trev

I remember a classic, a few years  back - Im pretty sure  in your time at the QVMX helm, when the decision to run the the dreaded 4t was made to run the class on the day - always eternally grateful for that one!

I think I have found a solution to this grossly unfair exclusion of the 4 stroke MX bike from Conondale.

Work with me here. We could start the day with race #

( 1 ) Mates Vs Mates race on a 4T modified....3 laps

( 2 ) Mates Vs Mates race on a 4T standard....3 laps

( 3 ) Mates Vs Mates on a 4T that just want to ride with their mates......3 laps

( 4 ) Mates Vs Mates on a 4T that just want to ride with their mates and up to 6 strangers....3 laps

( 5 ) Mates Vs Mates on a 4T that just want to ride with their mates and over 6 strangers...3 laps

Stay with me here.

( 6 ) Mates Vs up to 6 strangers on a 4T race....3 laps

( 7 ) Mates Vs over 6 strangers on a 4T race.....3 laps

( 8 ) Mates Vs not yet met but soon to be mates on a 4T race....3 laps

( 9 ) Interstate mates on a 4T race....3 laps

( 10 ) Mates Vs Mates on a 4 T that have travelled more than 4,000 klms .... 3 laps

( 11 ) Mates Vs Mates on a 4 T that have travelled less than 4,000 klms...3 laps

( 12 ) Mates Vs Mates of a mate race ( the possibilities are endless )....3 laps

Multiply all this by three motos over the weekend. Plus there is the actual year era your 4T fits into, plus the Evo class, plus the Challenge races. The right bike could have almost 60 motos to ride over the weekend.

All races would be all in. In the event that more than 3 x 4T actually turn up we would consider splitting them into capacity classes to assure EVERYBODY gets a trophy.

Because this format never really happened back in the day we feel it would be grossly unfair to charge any 4T rider an entrance fee. Can hardly charge for something that never really happened, right.
In addition to the no fee offer all 4T riders will get coupons to use at the Mr Whippy van and the face painting booth. How cool would it be to have XT 250 painted on your melon. We could look into getting a weigh station installed so as to give a trophy to the heaviest 4T. We would also have some knotted rope and an hour glass to determine which 4T is the fastest, thus gaining that bike another trophy.

So as you can see there is plenty of track time and trophies to be had.

I can hardly wait for your thoughts ;D

Just out of curiosity. How many four strokes raced in the four stroke class at the last two QVMX rounds?

So how many 4 strokes raced in the hosting clubs two rounds so far this year?
