Ok, so what does it cost?

All must be financial members of the club; the annual fee is $70 for a single or $80 for a family.
If you only want to try and see if you like racing, a day memberships is available for $40.

Race entry is $20 for senior and quad riders, $15 for juniors.  There is a $10 fee for every extra class entered.  This applies to Grass Track racing where there are opportunities to enter multiple classes.

If you want you can purchase a AMB transponder and your result will be scored and points gained will go towards the series points for the year.  Trophies are awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place in all classes.  If you would like more information on purchasing a transponder click (here).  If not, you can still race, however your results will not be recorded.

There are different types of events

Grass Track racing is held in natural terrain paddocks.  A loop is around 1km and each race is 3 laps.  There are different classes depending on your ability and the size (capacity) of your bike.  There are three rounds in each class and there is the opportunity to ride in a number of classes.

Enduro racing is based on completing a certain amount of laps of a loop which may range from 25 to 45km.  This is bush riding including single line trails, fire breaks, hills, bog holes etc.  The number of laps depends on what grade you enter.  Grades are Expert, A grade, B grade, C grade and Over 35 years old.  Entry level is C grade.  There are no motorcycle capacity classes, you can ride what size bike you like.

Pony Express racing is similar to enduro racing, however you can race with a mate  in a team on the same bike or one each.  Each rider takes his turn on the circut, tagging his partner who then continues.  Lap distances a shorter than in an enduro. Laps take around 20-30 minutes.  The race is scored by completing the most amount of laps in 4 hours.

Alternatively, if you are not real keen on racing and you have reasonable skills you can sign up to sweep ride for an event.  Sweep riders are responsible for repairing track marking, attending to injured riders and updating the Clerk of the Course on the condition of the track.  Entry is free but you must complete the indemnity and membership forms.

What about the kids?

Junior races are similar to the senior format.  Racing at Grass Tracks is held on a smaller track generally on the same day that seniors race.  There are a number of different classes based on experience and bike size.  Enduros and Pony Express races are held on Saturday the day before the seniors on smaller or modified tracks.  Juniors race shorter distances and for less time.  Junior only events are held from time to time.  Juniors don’t require transponders this year; however from the start of the 2210 season, transponders will be used on junior classes Trail B and above.  More information can be found here and a list of junior classes can be found in the TERC Rules.
