Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsular will be the location of the third round of the 2008 Victorian Senior Motocross Championships this coming weekend 22 ‰ÛÒ 23 July 2008.

Rosebud is a deep sand track that punishes both bikes and riders where every bit of power is required to get on top of it and to master the constantly changing surface.
This weekend the Lite class racing is on Saturday and the Open class is on Sunday, so its two days of action with the A, B and C grade classes racing for points to either pass their peers or consolidate their positions. Sunday‰Ûªs racing also includes the Open Ladies class where as usual the girls will be also racing for the coveted #1 plate.

Sunday was more relaxed but it was clear that it was a weekend where the officials were on the back foot and it became an ‰ÛÏOfficials V Riders‰Û
