Round 3 TBA 20-21 July

Do you mean 21-22? or are you doing a Friday & Saturday meeting? - i'm guessing Winton? - and if at Winton, the weekend after Interclub are at Winton??? and same weekend as Formula Xtreme?

Also, are you planning on changing the date so that you "allow them all a break between events" otherwise you have 3 weekends (Vic titles, Interclub, Pirelli series) in a row? Like with the first round?

[Francis C]

Sorry Jake, Yes 21-22 July at Winton, as this is the only date available to us. And we will be using the short circuit.

Francis could you see if Pirreli could do a price on 2 rears & 1 front please

Just wondering what events there is for Superstock 600 entrants to cross enter into?

Phil

[Francis C]

You could cross enter into supersport but you wouldn't get more races, just be inline for more prizes

You really don't need to cross enter as you would get more than enough racing with over 70 laps

[susan]

 A BIG thank you to all who have entered to date.  The first mail after the entry forms were released was amazing! It will be a great series.

2012 Pirelli Road Race Series Cash Back & Great Round One Incentives
 
Start Incentives
With the help from Cykel Products, Dynoverks, Motopix & Roost Industries we are able to offer some great incentives to enter the first round. See the attached flyer for details.
 
Spectator Incentives (Cash Back)Also available is another great new idea where the competitors get cash back for attracting spectators to the event with riders getting $10 for every full paying spectator that comes through the gate that nominates them (by name and race number). See attached flyer for details.

Enter Online
Riders now can enter the Pirelli RR Series online at http://prestonmcc.com.au/online%20entry%20form.htm

With the first round a little over 6 weeks away we are giving riders the option of entering the first round at Broadford online through the Preston MCC web site. No more missing the closing date with the online option. Classes are filling fast with the prospect of $20,000 in prize money and another $20,000 in major series prizes up for grabs. Along with the best dollar for lap value in the country (around $3 per lap, with 60-100 laps per weekend) the series has grab riders attention in a big way with longer races and the 2 series format. The Sprint series (3 x 10 lap races) on the Saturday and the Tourist Trophy series (2 x 20 lap races ) with prize money on the Sunday. Also on the Sunday is the weekend?s Feature event, a 44km race .

Riders also has the option of entering the whole four series for the low low price of $1000 ($900 for Sidecar & $420 for Junior classes) one of the cheapest series in the country. With the experience of many years of running the VRRC Preston MCC know how to run a professional series while keeping it great value.

Excellent idea with the online entry.

[Francis C]

The first round has as the feature race the 61st HARVIE WILTSHIRE MEMORIAL TROPHY RACE. Entry is free for all eligible competitors that enter the first round. Some of the greatest names in Australian road racing have their name on the trophy, who will be the 61st?
