Its a shame you have not invited the Brisbane M/C club , you'll  not have the top riders from QLD. Suppose it stacks it so NSW can win something  LOL

At the end of the day I think they deserve as much participation and respect as they showed Brisbane Motorcycle Club with the Classic and Post Classic Australian Titles

I could be wrong, but I'd guess that if someone from a club that hasn't been invited wanted to compete, they would be accommodated one way or another.

Graham I have no idea who you are or what axe you have to grind but we have no axe to grind with any other club. Please don't make it out that way. We made no comment or took any actions toward BMCC regarding the 2016 title events regardless of what you may have been told.

We held a club day on the same weekend as the Post Classics which covered Pre60 through to Pre90. We removed our club championship point score from that meeting which is not our usual format. Our event was 1000Km+ away from the titles. Last year there were two Classic Dirt national titles scheduled on the same weekend.

The calendar this year was way too full over a few short months and was Qld centred but that was not our making or concern and there was nothing we could do about that. The Classic titles, Post Classic titles, Classic Dirt & Connondale Classic all squeezed  into <3 months and during that period there were also school holidays which is never practical for VMX meetings. That makes it very hard not to clash with something you must agree.

Our club has never discouraged people from attending any meeting they choose but you are now trying to do exactly that. If you want to ride the Oct weekend meeting I am sure you can, if you don't that is also fine. This thread has been left open for comment as we usually lock them, this thread will go that way if mud slinging starts. That is not a threat but a reflection of why this site is slowly dying with less and less clubs posting. Sad but true.

Many many people say that they want the opportunity to have an enjoyable weekend with like minded VMX owners and riders well this is just such a chance. Something new and different for the VMX community so how about positive comments or none at all?

[HeavenVMX]

The maximum number of clubs to an Inter-club is 5. More than that number of clubs and it moves the meeting to a National level which increases complexity, costs and difficulty. Maybe next year if this one goes well.

I've been keeping an eye on this thread given some of the comments. Heaven VMX started this thread to promote an event and encourage participation. Please keep that in mind and also the intent of this forum, which is about enjoying the sport. I will delete any future negative comments.

[Nathan S]

Any idea of whether there are going to be separate races or separate pointscores for different capacities within the eras?

Ie: will Pre-95 be "all in", or will there be different races/pointscores for 125s, 250s, 500s and/or 4-strokes?

I'm not stressed either way, just organising what bikes to get ready/finished!

[HeavenVMX]

Each ERA will be All Powers. There are no specific 4st races.

The scoring for team results goes all the way down the field all riders can contribute to the team result.

A rider can enter a bike in two classic/post classic ERAs or one classic/post classic ERA and a Vets/open class.

EG a rider can enter their RM250B in Pre78 and also Pre82  or
enter their '93 YZ250 in Pre95 and a Vets class  or
enter there '89 CR500 in Pre90 and a Vets class

At the earliest possible convenience could the Sunday night Presentation venue be announced due to the overwhelming requests for accomodation close by
