2010 VMX Tri Series

[maicoman18]

Are there any ex-Queenslanders in Victoria or any ex-Victorians in Queensland?
Quess NSW riders up north would go to the Queensland round and NSW riders down south would go to the Victorian round. That's one way to beat the travel problem. I mean, it doesn't have to be the same people at all of the rounds. If someone was keen enough to do all of the travelling, good on them. Could be a bit embarrassing if you promote a Tri State Series but only two states turn up.

I am from the west side of the island ...proposal looks good...but.....all I have read in any of these posts is Evo Viper pre '85..no mention of pre 75....Also...last time an event (national) was run in NSW was Coff's and the time before that..can't remember...I am certain that support from this side of the island (riders) would be good..

Unless I've misunderstood the proposal Brian, the series is intended for pre 90.

[Ji Gantor]

The series will be Pre 78 and up to Pre 90.

I'm wondering which is the best way to go.. Run the Tri Series as part of an existing vintage race meeting or have a few of the later vintage classes along with some modern clubman and vets classes at a natural terrain track ala Thumper Nats.

Maybe the second idea for starters???

hey Bahnsy

go to page one of this/ your debate.

pre 78 to pre 90 when it gets of the ground.

IF it IS IN BOLD IT MUST BE TRUE HEY!

[STW996]

Arr Trev, I was off the understanding it is Evo and up but Pre 78 could ride up?

RIDE UP ! bloody hell another can of worms. who wants to ride dirty old pre 78 bikes anyway? when you can ride modern evo's and pre 85/90.
yeah, the forgotten era i say, too much travel for the purist's! but just not up to the new fangled modern stuff.
anyway sorry for jumping on Bahnsy, but its is on the first page.

Worms,
I missed it in the small print of Page-1. I was looking at Page-3, specifically the reply from one of the individuals who is pitching the idea, Magoo. He made a note of the class lists that i had in bold. I couldnt work out how to do the quote thing so i made it in bold. Nothing sinister about it being in bold.

Hey Obama (Worms) if you are not going to stand for Pres again (the Obama thing is because a US president's term is 4 years and Trev has at this point in time only done 3 and I what him to stand again) We will need a single head of state to run this mate and with you doing such a good job of the nationals you would be a good man for the Job!! you could then run a pre 78 class.

[worms]

Ah yes,

What this event needs is for someone in each state backed by a club, and make it as simple as a club event, i think we are all well past it and think the word competition should only be used loosely. a single vision for Classic Motocross catering for particular period of machines instead of being told by a governing body, who only acts in self interest! how we are to run an event.

So lets see, what makes an event viable, 50 to 60 riders and you break even on costs, add a few sponsors , and you make a profit. is that soooooo hard, and if people choose to ride great, debateing the pro's and con's does not matter. so dont whinge like two year olds and say it wont work because of this or that, it's so simple, life is far to short and i for one will be there with bells on, or training wheels for that matter.

Cheers Trev( once known as Obama, but revirting back to Worms)PS the 1972 Bultaco lives and is running thanks to a bit of help from Holeshot!

[Rossvickicampbell]

lets see - and I am prepared to be wrong - but the biggest obstacle put to this so far is how many people would turn up because of the distance - but you don't want to include pre 75 which ahd the 4 biggest classes at the Nats??
