After a strong 2018, with a number of junior riders representing Dubbo at state, national and even the World Junior Motocross Championships, the club is already off to a flying start in 2019.
Dubbo Dirt Bike Club President Ben Woldhuis said there would be opportunities for dirt bike riders of all ages and levels of experience to have a ride at the club in 2019, and encouraged riders from around the region to get involved.
“We’ve got five rounds of racing this year, including the Mac Daddy Cup which had $2000 in prize money and raised $5000 for charity last year," Woldhuis said.
"Pus we’re hosting a round of the East Coast MX Series in June.”

“On club race days we’ve got races for all ages and bikes sizes including Nippers, 50cc, 65cc, 85cc, Girls and Lites in the juniors, as well as Lites, Opens, All Powers, Women’s and Over 35’s in the seniors, so there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to have a ride," Woldhuis said.
“We’ll also run a number of training camps for riders starting out on dirt bikes or looking to improve their skills, as well as practice days for riders looking for a bit of fun without the competition of racing."
Training camps hosted by the club in 2019 include OatsMX 2 Day Prep Clinic on May 11 and 12, MXRD Rider Development and Endorsement Training on May 18 and 19, and Race Pace Motocross training on June 1.
With a number of impressive performances from club members at elite races early in the season, the club has already had a great start to the year.
After two rounds of the 2 Stroke Amateur Nationals series in Victoria and Queensland, ten-year-old Jack Deveson sits in third position in the 65cc Cup, 15-year-old Blake Fox is equal first in the 125cc Junior Cup class, and 17-year-old Ryda Deveson sits in third position in the Allpowers Retro Cup.
