Here is the Historic Committees submission to the overall plan.
Feedback and comment is most welcome
MV Business Plan Historic Road Race
Purpose
To promote a high grade of historic racing on purpose built machines to the public.
To preserve an era of motor sport, fulfill the passions of older competitors.
SWOT analysis of the Historic discipline
StrengthsVaries ages of members
Mateship
Varies disciplines i.e. solo and sidecar
New life for older machines
Australian Historic Titles
Small but hard core of committee men/women
High enthusiasm of the competitors and officials
Dedicated participants
Cohesion within discipline
Potential of Class “C” Indians v Harleys
Small number of racing events available
Co-operation between states in the standardization of rules
Co-operation from riders on regulations
Classic races very little burden on Motorcycling Australia
High quality of race meetings and motor cycles
Financially self-supporting
Ability to function well with minimum outside support
Use of Channel 31 by HMRAV
Weaknesses
Diminishing numbers in the older classes & post classic sidecars
Interpretation of Rule Book causes trouble
Difficulty in obtaining trained and experienced officials for race meetings
Lack of exposure from m/c press, lack of promotional skills
Lack of funding to promote our marquee
Opportunities
Vic Championships at Broadford now well promoted with Film Festival & BEARS
Historic 2 + 4 meeting is a great display
Southern Classic Festival is growing as an Historic based event
Inclusion of Broadford Community at Broadford to develop the spectator base at Broadford
Main races are promoted and advertised to entice public support
Continued improvements to the pit areas at Broadford
To op-opt restorers and riders of road going historic bikes into road racing
To promote the discipline a great deal more
Threats
The cost of travel and accommodation
Indecision about classes and eligibility
The calendar in Victoria is becoming jammed with major events of all kinds
Intervention by legal profession
Lack of new blood
Historic Changes Possible
From
No involvement of a Road Racer in trade inspector
Lack of communication from Motorcycling Australia Management
To

Improved communication with Motorcycling Australia
