NSW Offroad State Titles
Might also mention that AMBrc lap scoring system will be used, so when sending in the entry forms, make sure you have the 7 digit transponder code clearly written on the form.

woohoo, man, can not wait for this event, as radio says, even at a club day maitland runs a top meeting, the big meetings are run very smoothly and with the transponders on hand, should make it even better, the track is awesome, they've done a good job, i like the way maitland dont rest on their one track for too long, and like to change it round. Only tricky thing is finding a combination of tyres that dont get eaten after one race (advice, this means don't use pins), cya there dudes

The entry forms should be out in the next week or so. We have a club member in publishing so they should be pretty neat, we're just finishing the multiple draft bit of the process (We wanted to make sure everything was correct). There will be a space on the entry form for your personal transponder code.
On the subject of Maitland club meetings, the last one was pretty good: 44 enteries for a meeting that had to be postponed for a week and began under dark skies with a light sprinkle of rain is pretty impressive.
Everyone is welcome to come along to the club meetings on the 2nd Sunday of the month for extra practice. Entries are $6 a class on club days and the regular classes are Rookie Truck, Rookie Buggy, 2wd 540, 2wd Stock, 2wd Modified, Stock Truck, 4wd Stock, 1/10 Nitro Truck and T-Maxx.
More Info
------------
Enteries for the state titles will be $25 for the first class entered and $10 for every class after that. So not too expensive and tropheys will be given out for A-finalists, TQ and Top Junior in each class as well as for concourse.

i cant speak on behalf of the club, and radio can probably clarify, but i understand the maitland committee has become disillusioned with the running of roorda and have cancelled their membership to the body and are running the state titles as an aarcmacc santioned event. I understand one of the issues was the funds allocation from the state titles entries, seemingly, the piece of pie roorda wanted was larger than normal, and considering maitland had already been dudded by a year because the order of who gets the state titles had been 'altered', i dont blame the committee at all, what im very interested to see now is what will the rest of the clubs do, i still want to have a state championship run over all of the main clubs in nsw/act, hopefully the clubs can work out their own championship or something, cya

NOFX is correct the meeting will be run with AARCMCC sanctioning. There were a number reasons that this decision was taken. It wasn't just the money; ROORDA were completely inflexible on a number of things which the club thought were necessary to providing a good meeting to racers. One example is that ROORDA insisted that only the first 3 place getters in each class be awarded tropheys, we wanted all A-finalists to be rewarded. Also the ROORDA president nominated herself as race director for the meeting, given past experience the executive of the Maitland club thought we could run a more professional meeting by ourselves.
Maitland has been dissatisfied with ROORDA for some time now. In addition to some improper and indecorous procedural changes made under the current ROORDA administration the club also have some specific complaints. Maitland had intended to bid for the 2003 National titles but were not given the opportunity and as NOFX rightly points out when it came time to prepare for our turn in the state titles roster last year we were told that Ryde would be hosting the event on that occasion.
Despite all of this the Maitland club was happy to host the NSW titles under ROORDA sanctioning until about 2 weeks ago when it became clear that ROORDA wanted to requisition funds that it clearly had no need for and what's more was taking it to the detriment of racers at the meeting as well as the host club.
I wasn't going to make a big deal of this but since it had already been brought up a detailed reply was in order. Lets try not to focus on this too much and instead concentrate on making this the best NSW state titles ever.

Power will be available at the track on the Friday (probably Thursday as well) before the meeting for practice (and of course on race days). The track is on council land so you're quite welcome to practice at other times as well but will need to supply your own power.
