– All New 2013 KTM Natural Terrain Motocross
— Tumbulgum Farm Byford West Australia 27th and 28th April 2013
The two day meeting is on the 27th and 28th April 2013 at Tumbulgum on South-West Highway at Byford.
Each year Willie Thomson builds the complete Motocross track from scratch. “The track will be completely different from anything previously used, it will be around 2km, possibly just a little longer, and it is always a new track it is never the same to anything previously used. The first time any of the riders get to ride is at the first practice session. Everyone will be surprised just how dynamic this track will be when it’s finished”. Ben Grabham from HSE Motorex KTM Desert Racing has confirmed he will be competing at Tumbulgum this year on a desert spec 450 SX-F in the pro class. Although motocross isn’t Ben’s specialty, as a 4 time winner of the Finke Desert Race and recently finishing 15th in the gruelling Dakar Rally, he is bound to shake up the pro class and provide some spectacular racing.
“Saturday as always will feature the Junior Motocross from 8.00am – 4.00pm. We are expecting to get well in excess of 500 entries over the entire weekend this year, last year we had 512 riders so it is always action packed and very well supported event.
“Sunday is going to be nonstop action with the Senior competitor’s taking to the 2km track for the first time. As well as a full day of MX there will be plenty of entertainment to keep you fully occupied, including Freestyle BMX, FMX, Super Lite Buggy Demos, Helicopter rides and Side Show Alley. There will also be Fast 50’s / Thump star racing on their own arena x track.
