TRACKS Hi all, It has been brought to my attention that our tracks are being abused by some riders using them. To elaborate on this, our old Super-cross track is now a Mini track. This subject has been brought up in the past and it appears we need to detail a reminder. With this track now being a mini track only, this means no bikes over the 65cc rating are permitted on this track. Exceptions may be made for four stroke engines such as 70 or 80cc machines and possibly 110cc machines but this is at the discretion of an attending committee member who is at the time at the track. No one can say they are not aware this track is a mini track, there is a sign you ride past on the gate entering the track stating mini track only no big bikes. In addition to this it has also been noticed that some individuals are hiring a key and allowing non paying riders into the facility either by leaving the gate unlocked and open for anyone to access or by taking other non paying riders in along with them. Today was a prime example, 3 fees were paid ($90.00) and 8 bikes were seen riding the track. This means 5 bikes ($150.00) were riding for free. Our club leases the land to have a track, we pay for our own buildings, upkeep and machinery to ensure the facility is available for you all, the riders and supporters. If people continue to cheat the system then maybe one day this facility wont be...

Mini Track Nearly Ready to Rock n Roll With Supercross on the decline if not dead and buried here in New Zealand we decided to maximize the use of our facility and turn the once popular SX track into a new Mini’s track. Its the perfect facility for kids to ride and grow with vantage points all around the circuit for parents to watch over their kids as they get to grips with MX riding and racing. Our goal was to have an independent race track for kids starting from aged 4 and we are well on the way to achieving this. We hope to get events running on the track which will consist of several classes including small bore 4 strokes ie: CRF50’s and TTR50’s and 70’s possibly up to 125cc four strokes depending on the rider age, plus PW50 and QR50 riders, then slightly larger bikes but still small bore 2 strokes, ie: KTM 50’s, KTM and Kawasaki 65’s and again dependent on age, small wheel 85’s. Final decisions are near completion on race groups, ages, cc ratings (dependant on age and experience) by the Mini’s race committee and events are programmed to begin at Round One (May 4th 2014) of our Winter Series. We will always be needing some help to organize and run the mini events so if there are any mini parents out there who would like get involved please get in contact with the committee. It s a huge task to organize a club day involving 2 tracks so the more volunteers can get on board to help with the mini’s, the...
