Press Release from the Pukekohe Motorcycle Club Inc
NEW VENUE FOR NEW ZEALAND MOTOCROSS NATIONALS
At a meeting of the Pukekohe Motorcycle Club last night it was agreed the first round of the NZ Motocross Championship on 26th and 27th August will now be held at the Mercer sand track.
The weather in Auckland during August can be and is predicted to be, very wet. This creates a number of problems for the Club and their ability to host such an event at MR Motorcycles Raceway at Harrisville.
The decision to change the venue has been taken early to enable adequate time to prepare the Mercer facility to the standard required to hold a national championship event.
The Club looks forward to running a NZ championship at a true sand track for the first time in living memory. This will provide a true test of rider and machine providing an exciting spectacle similar to what is seen at sand tracks in Belgium or The Netherlands.
The Mercer track is located on SH1 Mercer, approximately five minutes south of the Bombay Hills. Entry is via the Mercer off ramp on the Waikato expressway.
For any further information please contact Scott Wilkins.
