Orange Showground will play host to the second round of the popular Stadium Motocross Series on Saturday February 20th now in its tenth year.

With over 300 riders at the opening round in Bathurst late last month, Orange is set for another family friendly and affordable day of motor racing.

For years Dirt Bike Promotions (DBP) of Orange have been promoting, Stadium Motocross Events which have been a stepping stone for some of this country’s most successful riders, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

Spectators will bear witness to the future stars in each highly-competitive class ranging from 50cc Nippers right through to the Pro Lites and Opens classes.

Organiser Phil Sargent of Dirt Bike Promotions, says Orange and the Central West is loaded with talented motocross riders, “We really want to try and get a huge local contingency to take on the rest of the riders from across the state.

The best part about our events is that the kids get a chance to race in front of a large crowd at a Supercross style event and it says a lot about the calibre of the racing and the talent of the competitors, when the crowd cheer just as hard for the junior riders as they do for the Pro’s.

“Stadium motocross is a similar layout to Supercross racing with a man made track with loads Supercross style jumps formed from more than 12,000 tonnes of dirt inside the arena at Maitland Showgrounds it lends for super close racing.

“We’re really looking forward to the first round of the series, riders on new bikes and all very eager to hit the track, which is a twilight event being run during the day and into the early evening.

“Stadium Motocross as a sport is fantastic for families… my two sons will both be racing.

“Over the many years the stadium motocross events have brought a lot to the local economy and they’re a really great family day out,” Sargent said.

Sargent said entries are now available and entries will be capped at 24 for each class so don’t miss out.
