Club president Craig Nelson said there were no major problems with the event.
"But with these things you have to keep reinventing yourself,'' Mr Nelson said.
"There are a couple of things we will look at for next year, although it's a bit early yet to say what.''
The crowd this year was around 6000 - about 500 down on last January. Spectators sat through a day where the temperatures reached 35 degrees but Mr Nelson said no crowd incidents were reported.
"It was a friendly crowd,'' he said.
He revealed that three weeks before the classic 80 per cent of tickets sold were from outside the area.
"There were people here from all around the country. One comment that I did hear was that it is the new Bathurst for bike people.''
The Bayliss Classic winner, American Jared Mees, has already indicated he'll return in 2016.
"As long as they keep inviting me, I'll come out,'' Mees told the Times last week.
He was one of three Americans invited to contest this year's classic, with Henry Wiles and Sammy Halbert the others. Wiles was second in the final.
Mr Brown revealed that even more Americans could be in next year's field.
There were a number of crashes during the day's program, with one quad bike rider seriously hurt.
Bayliss said at the time that the track was 'tricky.'
"I spoke to the clerk of the course after racing had finished and he thought the cause was the riders were just trying too hard,'' Mr Nelson said.
"But the track did break up during the day and that was probably caused by the heat. Troy said it was excellent for the night program.
"I had a look at it on Sunday and it held up pretty well considering the heat and all the races we had.''
Mr Nelson met with Bayliss on Monday morning to discuss the event.
"We'll have a bit of a break now,'' he said.
"Then we'll start looking at next year.''
