I don't know about that "should be in Vicco" comment. Every time I come down there you blokes get me drunk and take advantage of me.
 

:D as for the drunk bit, from what i have seen its bloody voluntary !

the advantage part would be that Kilt wearing, haggis munching scotsman Macca bloke for sure.  ;D

I must admit that this post has shown rls what he's in for. As to the original question, yes, it will happen, not this year, maybe not next year but by the year after that if the Pre '90 afficianados have any balls it is inevitable

 I see my brothers trophies for 1st place pre 85 and Evo from the AUSTRALIAN TITLES 2008.. It was on the same bike, a 81 490 Maico :o which is legal for both classes. ;D
For our family, it was a weekend of good racing, good people and good fun.. Thats why we all went. Thats what VMX should be about.   If the bike fits legally into the class requirements, ride it! more track time, more riders in the race.. win win.  yee haa
 Johnny "O"  are u related to Jazzy "O"?  maybe u should bring your arse down south and give us all a riding lesson.. after all.. sounds like that arse can ride  :-*

I don't give a toss who enters our races, enduro trials or whatever. I often see PE's and IT's on the startline.
The rules say you can't ride up a class so if you pick Evo you aint ridin pre '85.. Simple.
I only wish you would come to Qld so i can ride an enduro bike and kick your arse!

Are you bringing that enduro bike to VIC for next years Aust titles?

I'd gladly ride my 490 Maico in Evo and Pre 85 if i was able but the rules at the titles state you can't ride up a class. I don't make the rules Einstein, i'll take more than 1 bike and do it by the book.

Its not simple at all as the confusion on this thread shows.As long as you have 2 class's with based ondifferent criteia , one  on the year of manufacture and the other on the state of technological developement, that overlap. Then riders like the Baker boys and thier Maico's , Geoff Ballard , Ross Nimmo to name a few will be able to ride both class's unless the one bike per class rule is applied.Then if your have two bikes the same you can still ride both class's and you will still have twin shock bikes racing against linkaged pre 85 bikes .I can't see the issue with that .Back in the day I raced a 1980 model twin shock against single shock bikes the following year.In the US Billy Grossi was campaining a twin shock Husky against single shock jap bike.Denny Shartz won a national in the early eighties on a twin shocked Maico.Mike Guerra rode twin shock Huskies in the 250GP's well into the eighties against the single shock works bikes from Japan.KENT HOWERTON RIDING A TWIN SHOCK SUZUKI WON THE US250GP AGAINST SINGLE SHOCK BIKES INCLUDING THE SINGLE SHOCK WORKS SUZUKI'S THAT THE EURO'S HAD.Hakan Carlqvist continued to ride a non linkage YZM against single shock Honda's,Suzuki's and Kawasaki's.
For those who don't want to see single and twin shock bikes in the same race.What era are you trying to recreate?
