Ok guys, after talking to as many of you as would listen, we have trimmed the series a bit and settled for the following dates, please stick your name down if your not already on the list

UPDATE: the number plates have arrived from alansbmx.com we are sorting out the stickers for them now

Thanks Alan

Hayes old school gate not in series, warm down 19th August
Hersden BBQ and chill race, plus all or nothing against Hersden 16th Sept

The bikes must be 20" wheels, caliper brakes and 1" threaded headset, the bike should have mainly 1980s parts, so no clip on pedals.

Please wear long sleeves and bottoms, gloves and a full face helmet, some tracks will not allow an open face.

To qualify you must complete at least 5 rounds with the best 6 results count. This will enable you to miss two rounds without affecting your placing. At Milton Keynes your placing in the old school classic will count towards the series, ie: if you come 4th in the A final, but the highest placed series rider you will earn 1st place points etc.

£10 to enter the series, payable on your first race.
All monies will go towards trophies and number plates.
You will also have to abide by the individual tracks rules and pay them for track entrance fees etc. (usually around £5)

The old school races are certainly growing and with your support we can really have a cracking summer!!!

Riders ready, pedals ready........GO

Looking Good Tony, Gutted I'm gonna miss the 1st 2 rounds though.

But I'll make sure I'm there for the rest.

Have you thought about what Justin from Hersden said on Sun yet? Will the series fee pay for Hersden Trophies, plus our end of series throphies / plates?

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #2 on:** March 13, 2007, 12:14 AM »

I'll come along to the Hersden ones, doubt i'll ride but you never know

RATTY · « **Reply #3 on:** March 13, 2007, 12:15 AM »

Me and Flaz were talking about sponsoring the trophies, I am going to talk to Alans on wednesday as well as vert ego, to see if they fancy sponsoring the series, if they do, we should be able to cover the hearsden trophies!!! One way or the other we will sort it out

Gary72 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2007, 03:10 PM »

Guess you'll all have to be VERY nice to me and let me win on track. Otherwise I'll fiddle the results and win on paper anyway!! We need to agree the basis of points but personally I think we should take results only on the Finals only so you get:
A Final - 1st 50 points, 2nd 47 points, 44, 41, 38, 35, 32 and 30 for 8th.
B Final - !st 28 points, 2nd 26 points, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16 and 14 for 8th,
C Final - 1st 12 points, 2nd 11 points, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5 for 8th.
All other Final finishers would get 4 points.

If you try and include moto results it gets very complex but could be done but this way gives all to go for in the motos to get into the A final, so no slacking!! Any views?? Humps

RATTY · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:37 PM »

Im all for that format Al, that way you do try your hardest to make the A final. How will we get the results to you? do we just ask the track officials?

Flaz · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:38 PM »

whey hey !!!!! 3 gates ??

Gary72 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:56 PM »

results need to go to Cazbo first then Humps then back to Cazbo so can be posted, so if i,m not there Ratty and you are just take them with you and i will collect them or email them to us. Although if you take them i think they will need to be in a sealed envelope

I agree with Humps point format, nice and simple.

Fiolas Lovechild · « **Reply #22 on:** March 15, 2007, 08:42 PM »

Nice one ratty count me in .Are we still on for this Sunday at Daggers....I got ya Redline frame and forks what time we meeting drop us a line Russ
