The Kurri Kurri Junior Motorcycle Club is set to host the newest event on the motorcycling calendar at Loxford Park Raceway this weekend (March 15-16).
One senior and one junior rider will become the first names inscribed on the Kurri Kurri Masters trophy as they battle for top honours across two days of competition.
Sunday’s racing will conclude with the crowning of the King of Kurri Kurri in the Senior Pro Open class, while the Prince of Kurri Kurri title will go to the winner of the Juniors 13 to Under 16s class.
Among the senior contenders, past performances suggest Connor Ryan, Cody Lewis, Luke Bush, and the ever-improving Brayden Gay will be strong challengers. Former Australian champion Rodney McDonald will also return to local competition after years of racing overseas, adding further excitement to the event.
The junior competition is expected to be fiercely contested, especially with the 2025 Australian Junior Dirt Track Championships just five weeks away at the same venue. Riders from Queensland, the ACT, and across New South Wales will use this weekend as vital preparation for the national championship over the Easter weekend.
In the battle for the Prince of Kurri Kurri, interstate riders Jake Paige and Cooper Archibald from Queensland, along with Canberra’s Thomas Gotts, will take on a strong local challenge led by Max Earl. The younger age brackets have also drawn impressive entries, with tightly contested racing expected on the smaller-capacity machines.
Classes with larger entry lists will culminate in a final after four rounds of heats, while others will be decided over five point-scoring rounds.
Loxford Park Raceway is located on Dickson Road, Loxford. Practice starts at 9:00 AM on Saturday, with racing kicking off at the same time on Sunday.
Spectators can enjoy two full days of racing with an admission fee of $10 per vehicle, and full canteen facilities will be available.
