hey... fair enough, ridin with other people from other tracks is cool and all, But why do we have 2 days practice and 1 day racing!! What was wrong with the 2 rnds on saturday, then 2 rnds & a final on sunday format? I'm up for drawing the grid positions out of the hat, instead of qualifying, or losing a practice session on saturday if it means we get another race!! Have we ever fit 4 rnds in, on a sunday yet?!
just my 2 cents!

HERE HERE MORTY ....I agree long way to go for a days racing...I liked Warnambool better ..the way it was formated.
On the first day you only get 15 mins on the track...as for the FRIDAY PRACTISE ...I'll be on the road still so its no help .
I wish that the organisers would reconsider this format

Hi just wanted to know if entry forms are going to be out this month?
these forms should be out a good month before round so people know where there at with new rule changes and suits people have to out lay for and anything eles each club changes.
You cant say all rounds are same price as i have heard round 3 is going to be different.
some off use need time to pay for all of this. we dont all have the cash to buy $10,000 euro bikes and gear!

I thought we where trying to grow this sport not push people out cause they cant afford all the goods. that with little or no track time aviable and unorganised clubs not getting info out for poeple in time may cost entrents.

We may not make round 2 as all info is not availble and round 3 for same reason.

Thats a bit off a kick in the **** for people who are trying to have a go and support this sport.

How can any one expect to get a good showing at the NSW event when we cant even get entries posted within a decent time.Darren has been trying his hardest but i think a bit more help from the NSW club could be forthcoming. As a lot of the previous comments have also been asking the same thing but to no avail you start to wonder how the event is going to be run.As you all know if you are travelling from interstate it takes a bit of time to organise the logistics.So a bit more co operation from members would be very nice.

what exactly would you like from us ?
we don't run the club or organise the events, most of us live over an hour away so we can't help with places to stay if you go to the nsw minimoto forum you may get more info there because thats where pretty much all the members go to
oh yeah & we have also been asking them for the entry forms & more info

Sorry allan but i was under the impression that nsw mini moto was running the round.Also i didnt ask about accomodation.If my questions have upset you i am sorry but if you look at the forum i only asked about entry forms. Bill
