Title: NORTHERN WINTER SERIES
Post by: nhoj on September 10, 2010, 09:04 PM
So it looks like we are sorting out a series for ourselves with one-off organised meets and club days.

If we have 5-6 meets, which tracks do we drop?

I think we need a show of names for people who think they will be a REGULAR RIDER. It's going to be important to turn up if you say you will as it could be just an OLD SKOOL meet.

So lets have a feeler of who's in :daumenhoch:

1. Nhoj
2. MotomagII
3. Rooski
4. JT Smooth
5. Jon the bassist
6. Glynnyboy
7. Badbaldie


I'd drop coppull and crewe if I had to drop a few tracks!!

leeds probably wont do club races so we can drop them for a start

OS'ers like to give it large.........................so I think it should be an organised club meet with gates, finishing line judges, first aid etc, etc.

I reckon 4 or 5 races meets will do.   It all depends on what club races are on!!

I'd like to race at Hartlepool but they dont have gates/meets on Sunday but if we organise Hartlepool as the last race before Nationals/Regionals next year then maybe Hartlepool could organise some gates and classes as a pre summer season warm up meet.

Anyway it all depends on what available.

Club meets have the added advantage in that they might start later and finish earlier due low rider turn out.

If Leeds is already out then Bradford has to stay in.................being from South Cumbria an OS series with Lytham, Preston, Coppull, Manchester would be ideal but it wont be fair on Eastern Massiv.

Club Champs is in October and we'll have a word with all of the clubs to see whats available.   We'll work something out after that.   

If all else fails then we'll just have an organised OS meet and have some fun!!

Without gates and Finishing line judges then I dont see the point to the series, so why not brave the cold weather and have a good ol' session of riding!!!   Turn up at a respectable hour and give it large for a few hours and then back home before the dark creeps in!!

Maybe even hit up a few different spots like trails, play tracks etc, etc!!!

Post by: nhoj on September 10, 2010, 10:17 PM
Just for the record, Leeds said they may be able to do a proper one-off gate practice for the old skoolers at YEADON!!!

I think the clubs with proper club race meets is the best bet, although it would be a shame to loose Hartlepool.  Maybe some locals could have a word with the club to see about something??

I think we need to get some dates sorted asap or we are likely to loose people to other comittments.

Lets keep the thread going in a positive and useful manner and stick to the job in hand ie GET YOUR NAME DOWN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO MOST OF THE RACES :police:

REGULAR CLUB RACES

1. Bradford
2. Preston

Which tracks/clubs have race days that we could crash?

Bradford - Yes Saturday morning
Hartlepool - No
Preston
Manchester
Coppull
Crewe
Lytham
Fearnville - No but could possibly organise
Yeadon - No but could possibly organise
Heywood 
Title: Re: NORTHERN WINTER SERIES

John, Lytham and Manchester usually have some club races but I don't think many clubs have posted details of their winter races so far.
Rotherham and Harworth are both in the north and could be included; I'm sure they usually have club races. Chesterfield and Warsop are not much further south either.

(edit for rubbish grammar)

i'm in  :daumenhoch: but as bren sez n that, crewe tooooooooo fookin far, aint we usin preston grands as our first unofficial winter old school race? that already organised n should have decent numbers turning up  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: NORTHERN WINTER SERIES
Post by: James Nada on September 11, 2010, 08:19 PM
I'm up for racing - stick my name on t' list  :daumenhoch:

I think if we give the (first unoffical Winter OS) race at Preston a decent push, and encourage plenty of riders new and old it'll carry some momentum for the rest of the winter series. Plus, if there a plenty of us there we can probably agree on which other race to include in the series.

Moley - get a riders list started for Preston and we'll see if we can get enough riders for quarters!

Coppull  are having a winter series, dates are as follows ( subject to change)
10th Oct
14th Nov
12th Dec
16th jan
13th Feb
13th March
No problem with running an Old school class if there is enough riders, as my misses does the sheets. Trophies for riders who complete either 4 or 5 rounds (not sure)
Registration strictly 10am to 11am

Cheers Andy

Bradford's club races won't usually be on a Sunday; however they said that they would do one on a Sunday if that suited most of the Old Skoolers. The preference was for before Christmas, and we need to suggest a date.
Any thoughts?

I might be up for this. Moley and were possibly doing gates on this weekend but this would be better.

Why don't you start a seperate thread with a riders list and see who's up for it?

It would have to fall outside the Winter series though as the 'offical unofficial' opener is Preston on the 17th.

I dont think I can make the 10th.....................I think I've got a Christening to go to!!

I'd sooner just have a get together at a track like at heywood a couple of sundays ago

Way more riding gets done, beats standing around all day in the cold for 4 laps of a track!

Thats just my 2p's worth...  :daumenhoch:

I'm seriously tempted Len. Put me down as a maybe.

If I turn up and theres no OS gate will there be another suitable class?

James its a club meet so see Diane on registration, ifs theres only 2 of you she will let you have your own class or go 16+

Any thoughts on the next round of the winter series chaps?

I suggest Coppull on 12th December (as the 2nd or 3rd round)! 

If a few peeps think this is a good idea we can get Moley to start an (un)offical riders list.

Don't worry about that Daz - I've heard plot of a one-off winter race at Hartlepool.  That ought to give a little back to you NE warriors!

I just noticed that there is a club race on 14th November too - would peeps prefer that? I'd be up for either.
