Dubbo Riders will be in for a treat this Sunday the 27th of March at the revamped Morris Park MX circuit. Despite being considered one of the premiere circuits in the Central West, Dubbo Dirt Bike Club members have pulled out all stops to build a National level track at Dubbo.
The track has been ripped, ploughed scrapped and widened. Over 500 tonnes of sand and bark chip has been mixed into the rich clay soil creating a perfect blend of racing loam. The berms and starting area have been extensively reshaped with the aim to create more racing lines and improve the action for the spectators on the hill.
Racers from around the region are expected to converge on the track to pit their skills against the local talent. In the Juniors Connor
Albert and Lachlan Colbran have been showing impressive form at regional meetings and will be looking forward to stamping their authority over the track.
Trent Wheatley and
Luke Holcombe narrowly missed the podium last weekend at Mudgee and will be looking to go one better this weekend at Dubbo.
There are expected to be some fresh starters in the senior classes with several veterans of the sport making a return to competitive riding.
Matt Cook will be keen for a good ride in the opens while
Nigel Campbell is hoping to dominate the over 30's. Local KTM mechanic
Sam Williams will be a favorite to take out the Lites class.
Gates open at 7:00 on the day for scruitinering and sign on. Riders briefing is at 8:45, practice starts at 9:00 and racing starts at 9:30.
The Club extends a massive thank you to the following businesses who have made all the action at Morris Park possible: Halls Transport Repairs, EDH Hydraulic repairs, LA Tractor Parts, Dubbo Sands, Coates Hire, Nicolson Projects and Chris Whitney MX Track Constructions.
