i cant complain about the rules i think it will be much easyer with the classes you's have picked to run the events only one concern is the amount of rounds 4 rounds imo is way to many i know its farto give every state a fare go but personally i most likely wont be going to all 4 rounds as its just to much work to much time of work alot of money and alot of work lol i sed that twice because this year i have already spent way to much time in the shed maintaing and rebuilding my bike for racing i know for some people they dont mind so much but for me and im prity sure most other sa guys feeling the same its just to much work time and money to do 4 rounds but if people lean towards having 4 rounds then so be it this is just my input cheers

far out, really didn't see that coming..hey!!

Its funny how it says in the mission statement about entry into minimoto racing.. rah..rah..rah..
then... I know from 2 1/2 years experience.. haha..Its gonna cost ANYONE up to $1000 before they could be at least a fraction competetive in any race.... with bike up to spec and gear.. thats before even thinking about travelling.. and thats just in PRO CAG!?!?!... If we want to grow this we have to think about starting at the botton for crying out loud, we can't make it that expensive to be competitive at all 4 rounds!! Less people will come!

With the pro chinese class( the 2nd entry level class).. What makes it chinese... The crankcase and barrel... thats it..THATS ELITE!!!
I thought we wouldn't dare go down this path.. I can see this causing a huge fuss!!

and will we have to pull down the 40cc Elites to clarify that they're 40's aswel as the pro w/c and motards..?

But I sure LOVE those prices dazza.. they work for me!!!

Personally ,I would like to see less rounds..this would help with the cost of racing for the the year..making more accessable to people.
Regards the rest of the proposal can't see any probs..hope that it will develope bigger numbers who race.

with my grandads speedway, they just have 1 round.. This years was over the Anzac weekend, in Gatton Queensland.. Makes for a good fun 3 days..

Next year is in tazzy..

Only thing I don't like about it is, that if you are having problems with your bike and you go crap on the weekend and can't sort out your bike then you have lost the title kind of thing.. but if you have it over 3-4 rounds then you can recover from that.. I think 4 rounds is kool, but just mostly to see what kind of tracks are out there..

Is the Queensland one going to be at archy again, whats going on there?? a lot of "debating" was going on about that, and now Queensland is back up there??

what about only 2 china class?? if it is suppose to be getting people into the sport then its not doing a good job, its suppose to be cheap...

Hi TyD
In the rule book it says the tracks have to be AKA , MA or similar approved track.

Oh, no barry's insurance... I thought that was AKA??!! LOL..

So No!!!

But seriously... It's 1 cag class & 3 Elite classes.. Can anyone not see that!!
We're going to have to pull the 40's down anyway aren't we?? So I don't mind pulling down the Pro w/c's as there'l only be one or two compared to 6 or 7 from this year!
So should try and keep the Pro Chinese W/C class as the same rules for this year(chinese)! Don't think anyone really had a problem with that!
I'm happy with fewer classes, just think we should make it a bit more accessable for newbs..

personaly i think the classes are fine , i like the 40cc elite class runing a 14mm carby this basicaly means a rider can buy a stock euro runing stock carby and actually be competative without any mods this will allow someone to buy a euro for under $3,000 brand new and take it and race without any further expense , this will actaully bring in a quality euro field and a good price , the issue with 4 rounds i feel is not just the big expense but biggest issue i would have is getting the time off work to each round the current climate most employes are reducing staff levels due to the economy to then ask for holidays over 4 seperate rounds in my case would be impossable to get my opion i would like to see 1 major round over a long weekend basically a aust title over a long weekend just my opion similair to what the aka do with the karts in the aust title other option maybe to have 2 rounds spread out over say 2 long weekends just my input on it

hey finally we are taking about the titles. the rules sound sound good less classes means more people in the other classes which will be better racing . but 4 rounds is to much for this sport i think more people would do the rounds if there were less. racers could spend more on there bikes and less on traveling better bikes better racing at home clubs. and interstate i know our club racing and club suffered this year because of title commitments .for all those that want to do lots of travel and race on different tracks we can have interstate club challenges just my thoughts

Hi,
I also agree that four rounds next year will be to much. Don't get me wrong i'd love to do four rounds the more the merrier but my dad and I have gone to every titles round the last two years and honestly it's getting a little to much to go to four states and miss days off school and work not to mention the hole in the pocket. I personnally think that there should be one or two big rounds rather then three or four smaller rounds, it would make it easier for more people to participate and there for we would be building the sport which is what we need to do. Just my opinion anyway can't wait to next year.
