Last two years the Australian Classic Dirt Track Championship has failed to achieve the numbers to justify the MA expenses ie around $6k for permits and the Australian Championship events require an ambulance on site (hourly rate around the $200 mark). These running costs have made the Championship unviable.
We hope to pick up the pieces and run the "Masters" in its place, our club has a good number of Classic competitors and are keen to have a ride with all the classes under the GCR's, really only a numbers game, we cannot afford the Championship but we can the "Masters".
I also feel personally that we (Classics) deserve Championship status as the number of riders entered at the failed attempts surpassed the Senior Champs. We want to run our event along the lines of the Bathurst Masters, where they get more riders and have greater status than the Australian Track Championship.
