With just days remaining until the 2008 Honda Australian Junior Motocross Championship kicks off, the Wanneroo Junior Motocross Club are looking forward to all the action heading their way.
Club spokesperson, Troy Luksa, said that everything was running smoothly and that the club was looking forward to Sunday.
“Everything is looking good at the moment,” Luksa said.
“The track is in great condition and we’re just putting the finishing touches on the circuit and facilities.
“Scrutineering starts on Sunday morning with racing beginning on Monday and we can’t wait for the gates to drop!”
This will be the first year that females have had their own Championship at the Junior Titles, with not one but two all-female classes lining up at the 2008 event.
The two girls-only classes will be 85cc – 150cc 12-U16 years, and 125cc – 250cc 13 – U16 years with 28 junior female riders vying for Championship glory.
Overall, more than 450 of Australia’s best junior Motocross riders are heading west to take part in the week-long event to be held at the
Wanneroo Junior Motocross Club, Pinjar Park, Western Australia from 28 September to 3 October.
The track is located on Pederick Road, Neerabup (just 5 km North of Wanneroo) and riders will be on track from 8 am Monday 29 September.
The Junior Titles will kick off a massive week for motorcycle sport in Australia, with the first round of 2008 Australian Supercross
Championship, in the form of Chad Reed’s SuperX Series which will also be held in Western Australia on Saturday 4 October, as well as
the Phillip Island round of the 2008 MotoGP on Friday 3 October.
