ATV MX
Hibernation Over
With
nearly a three-month winter break, Australia’s premier
ATV MX series resumes at the famous Barrabool circuit on August
27th.
Round five of eight will explode from the picturesque Barrabool
track and will be the first time that ATV racing has been
staged at the circuit on their own with no support classes.
The Vic series regularly attracts around 100 competitors and
there will be much hunger after such a long break.
Said series
coordinator Mark Beechey “for the past few years we’ve
normally raced every month beginning in about April right
through till November, this year we decided to have a winter
break and allow the cold weather to pass us by, I think it’s
worked great as all the riders are very eager to get behind
the start gates again.
To have ATV MX racing at Barrabool is awesome for us, the
Sporting motorcycle club, who manage the circuit, could not
have been more welcoming of us and we’re very pleased
and proud to visit such an historic and spectacular venue”.
Twelve classes will be in action from 10.00am and spectator
entry is free. The hotly contested Pro class will have three
races on the day and the battle for the Championship lead
is fierce. Yamaha rider, Adam Siemensma leads the points but
he has some close competition with Tasmania’s Jy Stokes
and Warrnambool’s Paul Smith trying hard to chase him
down. The programme also features two women’s classes
A & B as well as juniors and other senior support classes.
If you haven’t seen ATV MX racing action get on down
to Barrabool and whilst your there find out more about the
Save Barrabool fighting fund and help save this historic venue
and part of Australia’s racing history.
