2018 Northern Regions Come to a Close

Hosted by the Winton Motocross club on Sunday the 9^th of September 2018, the Northern Regions ran its final round of the series for 2018, followed by a trophy presentation.

The Winton Motocross club put in an amazing effort to get the track up to the standards that they did! It was absolutely perfect, you could not have asked for a more perfect day. The surface was nice and tacky and also looked like there was a bit of sand mixed in there making it nice and deep and loamy.

In the girls class, Madi Healey took out the round with a great performance. Overall Healey finished up 3rd in the Regions with missing 3 round adding up for her allowing Olivia Kimball to take out the region win with her consistency. Elli Hay brought home second place for both the round and the series showing consistency is the key to a winning formula!

Special mention to Jobe Dunne, who was crook as a dog all day (being on the tail end of a chest infection and croup cough), sleeping between races to keep his energy levels up! Dunne went into the day only 6 points behind in the 50cc class and 4 points behind in the 65cc class. What is even more phenomenal is the fact that he ended up taking out both the 50cc and the 65cc C-Grade classes for the round and also the series! What a trooper!

Dunne is still a blue plater so he will still have another year on his 50cc, but after that, he will be on a yellow plate. Being only 8 years old he has so much potential, he is definitely going to be one to watch.

Jaxin Harvey took out the top podium place in the 85cc C-Grade Small Wheel for the season. Harvey who often trains with Dunne also came down with croup cough, a chest infection and a virus! Luckily Harvey went into the round 60 points in front, meaning he just had to complete each race in order to score top place on the series podium. Harvey put in an awesome effort bringing home 4th for the round and securing 1st place for the series.

Again awesome effort by the Winton Motorcycle Club! It is the first time these guys have run a region and they did a stellar job! Winton are a small club who are always looking for new riders and volunteers, so if you want to get involved with the club you can find all of their contact details at: www.motorcyclingvic.com.au/clubs/club-directory/winton-mx-motorcycle-club/
