on the petition... im not to sure how they work or anything but as far as i do know is it requires signatures, forums could be one person under 6 different names.. so best bet might be to print up a form and stick it at a few bike shops, leaving a self addressed envelope and stamps, give them a month or two and ask them to stick it in the mail and post it back to you...
At least that way you will have legitamate signatures etc..
Just an option!

Im no motard rider..but for you guys who are you could proabably try pt.elliot pits, they have a sweet track and it would be siik for motard riding, ill get a google earth pic up soon.
Now on the sellicks track, i agree we should keep it as low key as possible, its probably not the best land to just take over lol, we really need somewhere FULLY legal.
Ohh and Mayland, have ya checked out that other track in the sellicks area, if ya havnt hurry up!!! haha just kiddin just let us know when you go have a look

Hey Geezus18.
i have been actively campaigning and approaching Go-Kart tracks for the last 12months in regards to Pocket Bike racing/Minimotard.The reception so far is "frosty" to say the least.The clubs and track owners are all worried about bikes being dropped and having the track chewed up by footpegs and axles ,plus the fuel spillage issue. The Pt Elliot Pits is a great track but the owner is not interested in expanding the track use.He is very concerned about noise issues as there is housing nearby.One complaint to the EPA and he is history he reckons !.So its a no go there.I am in talks with a very large Adelaide circuit in regards to holding races as we speak.Fingers crossed it all works out !!!!

Good Work Maylands, im really hoping You sort out something with a Track, And you will always have my Support, Also Pocketracingbikes Team.
As Rossi Racing Said They are both Very Good Tracks But For the Occasional Racer I think Barossa would be maybe a Little far, But Bolivar looks like and excellent track (and Not too far out of peoples way)
Anyway Good Luck Brian, Hoping you have some success And Hoping Pb's Pick back up in winter...
Oh And Looking forward To see you down Pooraka With motard..
Cheers Blair
1) as i lived in pt elliot area, i can assure you elliot pits will NEVER allow motard bikes to use his track, we have talked to him for years trying to get him to allow our own gokarts to use his track in normal working hours, and his reply for years has been, "not in a million years mate" so getting it used for bikes will never happen LOL
2) sellicks track, as for my claiming it comment, it was only a "tongue in cheek" comment hey you could never run anything even half serious from something like that, as a matter of fact in this day and age of legitiation, i cant ever see a 50 track ever being done "by the books" insurance to cover a track like that properly would be 1000's, which would just make it unviable.
3) council will never allow a properly run dirt track on there land full stop!!!, so finding tracks and keeping them hidden and kinda secret is the only way its gonna happen i reckon, as for the sellicks track, as long as you have plenty of extinguishers on standby, and just use common sense i reckon that place works well for a casual weekend ride....
4) does anyone know if the sellicks track is "unofficially" owned by any street groups???? ie if you were using it and they rocked up, would a argument start???
Cheers

Hi Pitmaster.Your right on all accounts there.Low key and under the radar is the way to go.The Local boys seem real friendly as, and the guys I spoke to said they would love to have more riders rock up rather than less.No-one was on edge about moving in on the locals.Its not like surfing with the "townies" stealing waves and copping a possible beating !!
All good so far !!!!!!!!!!!

I Just had a thought, For Anyone interested in Supermotard..
As I race Pocketbikes at Pooraka Mini GP race Way.. It just Sprung to mind.
If you Look at the Pic They have the Road Track and Then the Mini Dirt Track Which Is just their For one of the owners son's..
But I was Thinking What about organising Supermotard Meets After The PocketBike Meets which are held Usually Every 2 Weeks.. Pooraka Already host Motard Class And Usually have a Good Turn out (8-12 Motards).
But maybe Another Class Could be formed "SuperMotard"
If you Look at the Picture from Google Earth as it hasnt been undated for a year or so.. The Dirt Track is now Entended (in Orange).
The red is the Proposed SupeMotard Track.
As a Pocketbike Meet is this week end, I will Speak to Damo Or Bruce (owners) about this, And see what they think...
Here Are a Few Pics from I think it might have been the First Motard Race Ever at Pooraka?? (I Took Them but wasnt to interested until now).
There is Also Some supermotard vids I found on youtube..
Anyway, if anyone Is half interested Shout out...!!!
Thanks Dreamah
Anyone Keen On Racing Motards??
Next Race Meet Is 18th of April...
Cheers Dreamah
Hi your right we are all good guys and would love for more riders to ride with but at this stage the track is in very early stages and you all would undrstand how hard it is to get somewhere to ride legaly.If we have all these unknowns rocking up then it puts more tension on the owners as there is NO INSURANCE and they will just flatten the track and we are all back to square 1.
It seems every1 thinks its crown land and it is most defently not.There are keep out signs etc so its fair obvious.
we are all give 100% support to a track to be built somewhere for every1 to ride.we could even possibly get machines and tippers to help out at real mates rates.If there is some1 out there with some cash and land to get it started i could see it being a succesful business even for who ever.
ps the user name racerx was just for laugh.
