He will need to do the State Championship, and finish no lower than 4th to get his visa.

The Australian State Championships will be the most hotly contested for years as a result of the Visa situation. I dont see Campton being a hot tip somehow and really wonder if his standard of rider gets in, there is little point in actually having Visas.

It's a stupid rule anyway, he finished 3rd in a round of the NATIONAL champs (7th overall I think) ahead of riders like Masters, Sedgman, Fricke and Grajczonek but missed out because he crashed in his own state champs. He has plenty of potential and if he qualifies this year then he will deserve to be here

I fully expect anyone who wants a work permit to be more or less gifted a top 4 place in an easier state final. Western Australia, the Northern Terrorories and the Tasmanian state finals means 12 easier permits!

Which is why it's a stupid rule, should only go on the National title, say top 10. It's far fairer, it's a 3 round comp rather than a one off make or break

Won't be back, and wouldn't want him back no consistency and usually fails to produce away from home

his head had been in the elite league all season,gave me the impression it was a chore to ride for worky,couldn't be bothered to do a victory lap when winning a race, so yes looks like pastures New for Mr howarth

Certainly would look to give Matt Williamson another go, has potential if he fancied it, tho I wouldn't entirely draw a line through Nathan Greaves either I'd like him to find another 10mph first? :D

With the improving latter season scoring I would even be tempted to give a swansong to Mattie Wethers, experienced and versatile middle/res rider could be very handy to have from the get go this time around? :t:
