The Murray Bridge Motocross club is well into preparations for what is shaping up as a massive year for the club, not only has the club undertaken the huge task of running a round of the 2011 Rockstar MX Nationals in May, they will then back up at the beginning of October and run the week long Australian Junior Motocross Championships. Heading up the huge responsibility of holding multiple national championships at the club is club president Geoff Pedder who along with the rest of the dedicated Murray Bridge club members is putting in a huge effort to get the venue ready to go for 2011. Geoff is looking forward to the challenge of holding the 2011 Junior Mx Nationals "Holding the Junior Nationals, is going to be a huge challenge but I'm sure we are up for it, I want this meeting to be remembered for all the right reasons and for everyone wanting to come back to Murray Bridge and race again," Pedder said. Geoff was also delighted to have a round of the MX Nationals back at the Murray bridge club after seeing the event missing in 2010 ‰ÛÏWe are glad the senior nationals are coming back to the bridge and for the SA fans to see that calibre of racing again.‰Û

Geoff Pedder has been on hand to oversee the changes made to the track and is very pleased with how the new track design has turned out ‰ÛÏAs for the tracks rebuild a huge amount of man hours have gone into it and we have shifted around about a thousand tons of soil. We thought the track was due for a change as it had been the same layout for some time now, we are very pleased with the finished result," Pedder said. To put the track through its paces the club invited current South Australian Open class motocross champion, and former national racer Shane Metcalfe to test the layout and offer his opinion. ‰ÛÏThe new Murray Bridge track has really come together quite well, I helped with a few ideas for the new layout and I think it will freshen up the excitement and add to the awesome racing that the track creates," Metcalfe said. "We really tightened one half of the track up and made it more technical and then it still has the fast open sections over the backside. The new jumps will add some excitement for the spectators as well.‰Û
