Off Road Club Champs
Have you tried Flat Track Racing??  Motocross riders join in & try Flat Track Racing, throw on a couple of trails or road tyres on you bikes and I am sure you will enjoy this type of racing.

 Round 1 of the DMCC ORCC will be held at the State Motorcycle Complex at Broadford on Saturday the 18th of February. The event will be a FLAT TRACK format. All riders with a capacity greater than 80cc 2/S or 150cc 4/S will be required to run a Trials Universal or Road Trail tyre on their rear wheels, Strictly no nobbies on rears but fronts are fine. Practise will start at 12.00 and racing will begin at 1.00, with sign on from 11.30. A BBQ and a few drinks will be provided after racing has finished.

Classes will range from Pee Wee’s through to Experts, so if you haven’t tried flat tracking before come along and see what all the fuss is about.

Please remember to have your membership fees paid and race licence ready, Day licences will be available on the day.

Entry fees will be $35.00 for seniors and $20.00 for juniors.
