2011 SENIOR MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP DATES CONFIRMED
SENIOR MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP DATES CONFIRMED Following their meeting in Wellington on July 17th, Motorcycling New Zealand’s Motocross Commission has finalised the dates for next season’s Championships. The season will move to February/March 2011. This change has been driven for the following reasons: With better and more settled weather, we hope to encourage more public to attend and give the sponsors better value for their money and wider exposure for their brand With new bikes arriving later and later in the year. By moving to early in the year the Industry will all have their new bikes in the country. For the Clubs/volunteers who make these events happen, more public through the gate equates to better revenue for all their hard work For the Riders, they will have the opportunity to train with the benefit of summer and daylight saving, rather than going into the Championships from the depths of winter. An added advantage with the moving of the MX Championships is it will enable the Supercross season to run prior to the MX season and will also assist in aligning the New Zealand MX/SX seasons with our Australian neighbours. Senior MX Championships: Round 1 ~ Sunday February 20th ~ South Canterbury Motorcycle Club Round 2 ~ Sunday March 6th ~ Patetonga Motorcycle Club Round 3 ~ Sunday March 20th ~ Rotorua Motorcycle Club Round 4 ~ Sunday March 27th ~ Taranaki Motorcycle Club Prepared for Motorcycling New Zealand Inc.
