No racing for 3 months!
« on: May 21, 2012, 04:06:16 PM »

Is there anyway anyone can hold a race between now and Ca$h Da$h in August. For some that aren't going to Mt. Gambier, and with Sunbury being cancelled there is no racing until August 19th (?)

My little one is desperate for some racing and clubby's arent exciting her as much as the atmosphere as a norm race meet provides.

Can come of you provide me with your upcoming clubby dates and times - maybe give her some different scenery and faces Smiley

Park Orchards holds clubbies on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. So between now and Cash Dash we have 2/6, 16/6, 7/7, 21/7, 4/8 and 18/8.

If you are on Facebook, I would suggest friending the clubs in your region as they all do a very good job of keeping their followers up to date on when clubbies are being held and it is usually possible to attend a clubby somewhere in Melbourne (or it's surrounds if you don't mind a bit of driving) every weekend.

It appears that most clubs are still holding clubbies over this time.

Is the question around wanting an open meet specifically?

An open meet - yes.

Which i know the calendar is already set, i suppose i more so meant can we look into filling the gap next year.  Huh

Thought i would ask for clubby dates as it's next best thing.

I'm from Bendigo, so to go anywhere is a bit of a travel, but that's not a problem.

Thanks for the clubby dates. She hasn't ridden PO, so she'll love it!

This has always been a touchy topic, I think Bmx was lucky during drought years that racing was able to go ahead over winter, the last two years this could not be guaranteed and is a risk to run open meetings, This is the time of the year for Clubs to step up and run their clubbies as until the next drought I can't see opens coming back into that time of year. If you would like your say EMG are always looking for new blood to get involved.

I remember last year it bucketed down during mid year & there was some discussion around planning in a mid year open meet break to reduce the amount of open meets needing to be rescheduled causing a bunch up later in the year.

Remember the lilydale Fire fund raiser open meet was flooded out.

Now that the gap has been created to prevent open meets having to reschedule it will propable be bone dry.

Maybe a good chance for a few clubs to run quick combined winter series inter club event

Just move to SE Qld. There is a race meet every weekend between now and the State titles at the end of September!

(maybe a couple of breaks in school holidays.)

VIC racer here, might be a bit of a travel Smiley
I'm guessing more race meets for you guys b/c of better weather Grin

I totally understand the dilemma our calendar is faced with due to our miserable, un-predictable weather!   Undecided

Definitely will be getting to some club meets around Melbourne. Abby will love seeing some different faces!

I don't understand.

What is this "clips" & "110 point engagement" that you speak of.   Grin
