Pocket Bikes, Mini Motards & F1 Cars

Last Saturday we had our second practice for 2010 and without a doubt, I have to say it was the largest attendance in our almost six year history.
Sunday was our first shakedown meeting to start off the year and although not very well attended, it was a great day. Everyone had fun and we all got to go home early.
Sunday Jan 31 is round one of our five round series to start the racing year off. Race calendars for 2010 are now available at the track.

Some in the pocket bike fraternity may disagree with what I am about to say. Pocket bike racing is a very fragmented sport and in the world of motorsport, pocket bike racing is seen as having zero credibility. We want that to change. I have spoken with Darren in Melbourne about this matter over the last couple of years and more recently I spoke with Darren Hansford in South Australia regarding this issue. What is needed is the formation of a peak body to control Mini Moto in Australia.

How it would work is the peak body would be formed. State organizations would then affiliate to the peak body. You would have a National Licencing system, National rules and a National Title system with credibility. We are also suggesting the titles be one round only. Titles would go State by State on a rotational basis each year. Only having the expense of a one round title would be attractive to all competitors.

Once the peak body is formed ideally getting the whole thing under the Motorcycling Australia umbrella would give Mini Moto even more credibility. We will work on that angle once we are up and running.

Discuss this amongst yourselves as I am sure it won’t take you long to work out the benefits of being united as a group.

Now back to the local action, available to our competitors this year will be a Queensland Title in April, 50 practice days, 25 race events, 2 Endurance Events plus more. That should certainly be enough to keep everyone out of mischief for the upcoming year.

Hope to see you all for Round 1 on Jan 31.

Regards,
Barry & Sandra

Darren Hansford lives in Victoria

I have rung Tony of Promoto asking when the entry forms will be ready about five times!
No reply yet.
But, hey, if they are ready or not we will be able to sign up on the day I would guess.

But, hey, you guys B1t1ch worst than women about MA.

The best way is look at all the options.
Don't knock anything until you know the full details about these options.
Then decide what is best for all riders in all states.

Be it MA, Promoto, the association that Glen is involved with or doing it yourselves.

darrens job over the past two years has put promoto to shame...

if promoto want any money from the travellers....they might want to get there fingers out and start replying to emails like most businesses do....

I'm sick of hearing "just give tony a call or send him an email"..... cuz its just not possible.

i wonder if the karts have such a hard time getting info..

Those who want change get of ur **** raise the Dollars and then when u finally do have control of the Aust titles .. well ill start to complain as much as u wingers.
