Christmas Track Carnival

[scotto]

short o=f emailing crafty, i thought i'd check the knowledgebase here.

CA lists the seperate categories for this event, ie U23, elite MMA S1, 2,3 etc
i'm hoping its run more like RAW with different grades.
any experience of what goes on ?
my masters division when its full of current world champions and record holders like Dave Stevens and Gavin White while i race c grade !

Similar gradings to RAW.

CNSW just list those member classes that are eligible to enter. For exammple JM19 would not be eligible to enter a Masters only event.

It is up to the promoter as to how he runs the event and gradings/handicaps etc. Your state handicap (as listed by your club) may have influence on your grading for an open event.

Only in championships races (metro/country, state, national, worlds) would you race those of same age group.

Do they still, have a Christmas track circuit still?

There used to be a Northern and Southern circuit.

When I think Christmas Track Carnival... it's Tassie.
A great experience, atmosphere/crowds and think it still would be. All should try it.
Gary, all the best for your Xmas, and hope it is a Carnival... if you ride, good luck.
Xmas Cheer to All.

Missed the sign up for it but apparently you can pay on the day so I will be probably racing at the Lidcombe event and maybe come watch a few others. Anyone else racing?
