Given the growth of the series a few changes have been put in place to further encourage participation . In particular , the Over 60 and Pre-1970 classes will have track deviations to cater for older generation bikes and riders . The women will have their own standalone race ( pre-91 bikes ) making room for the ongoing growth this class has seen over the last few years . The Pre-86 Enduro and Pre-86 4T races will now be divided into Overs and Unders ( 0- 200cc , 201cc - open ) to encourage greater participation of riders on small bore bikes . Another change that has been made for the coming season is to split the Pre-86 , Pre- 91 and Pre-96 Mid Bores to cater for the swelling classes . Darryl August advises that we can once
again expect a mega final event in Taupo in 2019 with an invitation being extended to international and South Island riders to attend the event . Last year Australian ISDE and works rider Geoff Ballard and French VMX champion Viv Jacob attended the event along with 12 riders from the South Island . The additional interest these riders brought to the final event will continue to be expanded on in the next season and will culminate in an annual North versus South race which the North won only by the narrowest of margins last season .
