2009 qvmx sunshine coast mcc vintage nationals update

Oh okay. I heard different. That will be easy if i get one per bike.

[gdr]

it states on your sup regs 1transponder per rider .The more bikes you have the more brackets you get.You can transfer them in about 5 seconds.

[090]

It has been confirmed via phone that each bike will have its own transponder. With 6 bikes it would still be a chore, especially with back to back races in the mix .

Pit crew and mates will help

Why do I keep hearing murmurs about needing to qualify?

It seems that there's class* with more than 40 riders, so it seems like a waste of time to me?

*Remembering that we'd need more than 40 blokes of the same age, on bikes of the same era and same capacity.

[090]

There was talk that they may have to back at the start but as you say, not enough entries to do so. Mainly due to the fact that we would get a full grid at say the Conondale Classic of pre 85 opens , they were expecting even more riders to a national, therefore maybe qualifying.

[Nathan S]

Cool - that's what I figured. Maybe those rumours will die now!


In other news - only four of us on 250cc pre-70s (with another three if there was a class)?
Shit. I better get my RT1 up and happening, sooner rather than later.

Nathan, A couple of classes need to qualify as they have greater than 40 entries, you can check your classes on the qvmx website.

Brad yes each bike (not rider) has a transponder.

[TM BILL]

As I read the race order on Qvmx site it would appear that pre 75 classes have all in races as well as age group races hence the qualifing
Is this correct ?

If the race order is as published i get 3 lots of 4 back to back races  i asked for longer races and now i got them with short pit stops 

It will be early nights for the pit crew  they will be busier than me 

Great to see so many entries counting down the sleeps

does any one know how big the start gates are (how many) and are tear offs aloud cheers george

[DR500]

Brad,better not loose 6 transponers at $600 each!!!

I would say the start gates have 40, the usual amount.
Personally we don't use tearoffs anymore as they don't get digested in the livestock guts too well.
The clubs may do a pick up after the event though. Noel ?
cheers

Wow...What happened? 250 pre 70 used to be a really popular class. There's another class we need to spark up again, it shouldn't be hard if you consider the number of bikes that qualify.

Good stuff, you must live next door 
Don't expect ours to arrive before we go(Australia Post not in a hurry these days),so may have to sweet talk the gate person
