Trials Australia Forums

Big difference in entry fees to Open trials.
Queensland Championship is a two day event and has set an entry fee of $50 for open solos. Compare this with Round 3 of the NSW Championships at Pacific Park, a one day event entry fee for Open solos is $68 !!!!

Yet another reason to move to Queensland

that explains it!

In Queensland we have ' sunshine state ' or ' smart state ' on our number plates.

In Victoria they have ' on the move ' but they forgot to add
' to Queensland '

Coming from Mountain Biking these prices seem cheap. The Epic is a 100k race point to point and costs $110 for Elite and $99 for recreational riders.
The Noosa Enduro is $90 and these things are festivals of pain.

Nipper,
I was the Clerk of Course at Rd.2 of NSW Moto-Trials C/ships last month.
The event was run by Wollongong MCC at their Mt.Kembla complex.
We charged $50 for Seniors & $30 for Juniors.
Pacific Park is a Trials Paradise, but is privately owned so any club that runs an event there
must pay a fee for each & every rider. At Wollongong we are lucky as we own the Mt.Kembla complex.
Motorcycling NSW also likes to take almost $14.00 in levies for Senior riders & about $10.00 for each Junior, let alone what they charge for a permit.
Maybe Motorcycling Qld is nicer to Trials riders than their mates down south.
Being involved in Trials for over 30 years now I don't know of any clubs that go out & run a Trial to try & make a profit. They are just making sure that costs are covered.
I Road Raced for several years in my youth (well 20 years ago anyway) & Moto-Trials is still the cheapest form of Motorcycle Sport in Australia.
Just hope Qld don't catch up with the entry fees too soon.

Keep ya feet up.

My mate who races road racing told me a club race entry fee for the day was $160.00 plus your tyres for the day.I said Hate to think what an open cost would be?
