Hi Dean,

Welcome to the Microsprints, i have to say i agree with what
you have said, but there is always a but, it is time some people just
let the 450 issue go and focus on there own cars to make them more
competitive, my comments under Goody2 were simply some of the guys
have had it there way for so long they cannot embrace changes, there

do not fear change

vp qld.
It is good to see a debate about change, but at the end of the day we all have one thing in mind, that is the well being and growth of the club. The sole of this club is fun, and acting as a family.
I have been around speedway for 45 yrs and with the micro's for 18 yrs, and every time there is a change suggested out comes the fear facture, the rumour mongers start and it grows a head of it's own, my advice is if you don't know, ask the people who do know and ask lots of questions. To give you a case history many years ago 250/260 speed cars ran air cooled motors which were unreliable at best and would over heat, getting slower the further you raced, so along comes a guy with a water cooled motor, instead of asking questions and embracing technology the rumour mill grew two heads and tried to ban the motor, but look were we are today, the same when twins came on board and the same when wings were introduced and we became the micro's.

Bill, Just wanted to add some clarity to your point.

" Why would you vote on something which you had not even seen ? Seems
a
little odd to me. "

At the time we 1st voted at the schudeled meeting, everyone there
except 1
member had seen the 450's run at Gilgandra.

I agree, some members had not seen them run, however these members

Thanks Murray
Please do not take this as a shot at anyone.

Having raced at that meeting and seeing we were invited to come on up
and race , I thought that we had a great time . The fact that Jay let
the Tiny Memorial trophy stay with his family in QLD was an extremely

Thanks for posting your message Bill. Well worded.

As it was my message about being bullied into accepting the 4 strokes,
I will
expand. The intorduction of a new class was a concern to start with,
But I can
see we need to look ahead with new engines, more reliable engines and

Hi guys my name is Bill Roberts.

I am one of the guys that is to blame for bringing 4 strokes into your
class, so if you have any questions please ask.

I take offence to people saying that they were bullied into accepting
the 4 strokes . It was done through the NSW club with the members
knowledge....admittedly, not all were for it at the start and some

The 450cc four stroke's might not be the as bad as some think. There
are many who are not mechanically minded to be able to come to terms
with two strokes. Some people want to be different and go against the
"norm" and some who just follow what others do. 450cc four strokes are
here to stay as a replacement for 250cc two strokes. I think it's

Hi to all in this Discussion

Just a few things I might add to the fire lol, is the one thing in
these discussions we need to leave out all personal issues and deal
with the matter In question, Just a little about me, I’ve been in the
motor industry most of my life, and have also had a lot of dealings

the cams are not to oversize a engine a cam is to increase lift in
valves which increases performance, people in positions in this club
have also said there engines were worked and not standard as they were
supposed to be,as for old cars they are what keep your club going and
how many of you have started in these and moved up as you could afford

The condition of cars has nothing to do with the intorduction of
450cc. Without these
" OLDER " cars, there would not be a club. The condition of cars comes
down to
personal issues and a budget. How is intoducing 450cc going to help
this? If the club
dosn't want these older cars then maybe they should say something .
