Monster Energy Motocross Nationals 2012
Australian Pro Quad MX Championship round 2 of the 3 round series will be held at AJS Motorcycle Club, Wanneroo Park on May 12 & 13. Australian Champ Luke Gaisford privateer and owner of Team 4TEEN has started the 2012 season with a perfect round of 4 wins at Coonabarabran NSW in April , following this up a week later at Coastal Park WA to start the WA State Championships again with 3 wins to be leading both series.
Gaisford on board the Honda TRX450ER heads to AJS this time just 100kms away with mixed feelings about the AJS track, having suffered one of the worst crashes in his career into the infamous Quarry, Gaisford stated "Wanneroo Park is not for the faint hearted and shouldnt be taken lightly, racing with over 150 riders this weekend the track will rough up and whoop out and racing will become survival towards the end of the day, the Quads will be doing 4 x 7 lap moto's and anyone coming down to see us race should know we race 3 moto's Saturday and just one early Sunday Morning"
On board for Team 4TEEN for the AJS round is NSW rider Daniel Middleton, currently sitting in 5th position for his rookie year in the Pro Quads. Daniel is also a privateer and the constraints of such a journey to WA had put Daniel out for the round until Luke Gaisford offered a 4teen Honda for Daniel to compete on. Daniel will arrive Wednesday and spend Thursday on board the Honda getting used to this unfamiliar bike, as Daniel is similar build, height and weight to Luke, bike setup should come down to small tweeks. Daniel looks forward to coming to WA and racing AJS.
WA Riders and Yamaha Australia sponsored Ryan Lancaster and Jordan Dummett hold 2nd and 3rd in the National and WA series and a week out from the Nationals are spread across the state training, Lancaster in the states North West while Dummett in the South West trains in the deep sands of the Bunbury Motorcycle Club in readiness for the AJS onslaught. Sean Woodhead and Anton Versaci also trained at Bunbry and look forward to their first race in the Nationals. Coastal Park sand specialist Brad Filbey has also entered the Nationals, his reputation in rough sands precedes him and he will enjoy the track as it roughs up across the day.

AJS Club members lead by Pro Rookie Joel Mortimer sitting in 6th in the Australian Series and 4th in the WA series has a long history of sand racing and will definitely be one to watch up the front, Tyron Robertson comes off a win in the WA Series clubman class and along with Luke Ovens will try to take some home track advantage into the round. Chris Brown from Brown Brothers Racing took it to Luke Gaisford in a local round of the ATV Club last Saturday Night, while Jye Stokes has been away working, and off the grid to the race fraternity. Johan Foord shifted to WA from Qld and made his debut at Coastal Park on the weekend as a lead up to his rookie year in the Pro's.
Victorian riders Jake Van Vliet Canam XTEAM and Mitch Van Vliet WPS Yamaha will be making the trip across, not having ridden AJS since they were Juniors back in 2006 in the 200cc class. Four Brothers racing Manager Trudy van Vliet stated " Both Jake and Mitch have been training hard and are out to improve on their National series first round results on equal points in 10th and 11th, Mitch is also entered in the B&C Grade Amateur Cup on a full grid of 40 riders, so it will be a massive weekend for him"
New Zealand Rider Andrew Vincent shifted to WA for the Race season and started out the WA Season in 6th after a forgettable National series where a mechanical stopped the youngster from competing. Andrew showed moments of brilliance at State Round with a holeshot in race 2 and a pair of 4ths in race 2&3, he will be looking to redeem himself at AJS.
Dont miss a minute of the Nationals, all the fan fair over 2 days, plenty of racing both 2 and 4 wheels AJS Motorcycle Club Wattyl Avenue Neerabup

QRCV FLOWERDALE ENDURO

Well what a fun weekend was had by all at the QRCV Enduro in March.

The event was a huge hit as the sun came out and the riders took to the start line.

Wayne counted them down for the start and it was all go from there, hitting tree
stumps, branches, creek crossings and massive hills.

The juniors had a ball on a shortened course but had their fair share of creek
crossings, hill climbs and spills and thrills.

Senior rider Justin Smith lost his quad over a cliff to the valley, a few tyre rods
were broken by brothers Mitch and Jake and there were quite a few weary riders
at the end of the day.

A big thanks to property owner Nick Souter for giving the club the opportunity to
have a great Enduro.

Have fun watching the film clip by Reckless Desire Productions.
