Better promotion in the mainstream media before events, up to a 2 hour driving distance from the events. A results sign at some point around the track if not a couple, or where possible a live net feed of the times like AMA SX. ( I know it's a big ask but you have to aim high.) I read on here that the 30min + 2 moto might be back, at least 1 per event for the Pro classes. I believe we need the longer moto's to show case the fitness of the riders and for me there is nothing like watching a front runner carve their way to the front & watch the mid-moto battles that develop with the longer races. Internal track access where possible, I know some venues this isn't possible Lakes , Raymond Terrace, but the Bellbird track at Appin for 1. OK that's my 2 cents worth.

Agree with you Ashman. Live timing allows people to follow all rounds and therefore more likely to attend local round. Definitely needs better promotion with maybe some prizes / giveaways. Also they need to hire/purchase a decent sound system that they can take to each round. Havent been to an event yet where you can clearly hear announcers. And motoonline need to have a tent where we can all catch up.

Most moto online users meet in the carpark

The Macarthur club is looking into putting in some infield spectator area for 2012, The clubs can only afford to spend so much on advertising we need to find a way to attract people that want a day out with the family not just the die hards. As for the PA we are going to transmit the announcer through a FM transmitter as most mobile phone have a radio they will be able to tune in .

That's awesome news about the infield spectator area & the FM transmission @Appin MDMCS1. Advertising should be the responsibility o the promoter WEM. That's what they are there for! The clubs provide the infrastructure eg the track, & parking maybe the marshals. The promoters role is to promote the event and provide specialty infustructure such as PA's and timing and results to the public.

Nice too hear that MX Nationals have a new outside the industry sponsor. Congrats to WEM team for the achievement. Just hope many more can be lured into the world of MX
