Surely there must be a way to maintain a short news column in Australian Motorcycle News magazine dedicated to classic racing ? - a bit of funding from MA ? At present our Winton club is fully occupied with MX, but if we were running historic meetings, we'd make sure there were press releases available to the general public. The web is good, but it's not the 'be all and end all'. If those of us who visit the forums regularly have difficulty knowing when meetings are on, what hope does an outsider have ? If we really want the sport to grow, we should take a much more positive attitude to publicity - even get TV coverage ! ! !
