Club president John Armstrong has been in contact with the Australian Motocross Championship promoter; Williams Event Management managing director Kevin Williams.

Armstrong said the promoter sounds interested and the club is keen.

He said it is an honour for Williams to stand there, consider us (Moree Motorcycle Club) and take us seriously.

A proposal was sent by the president on Thursday, which included details about the round of the NSW State Titles, information about the town of Moree and details about the club’s track, the Boolooroo Raceway.

Williams said he is starting to go through the process and Moree was being considered for a round in either 2010 or 2011.

Over the next four to five weeks he will be looking closely at the track, the space around the track, town, amenities and safety aspects.

If the process continues to advance in Moree’s favour, Williams said he would need to come and have a look at the track.

The size of the raceway facility is a benefit in the proposal because the factory teams would bring bikes, equipment and supplies in large prime movers.

Armstrong said the facilities are good enough to host a national round.

“The track and facilities are easily good enough, we have an advantage over most tracks; space.”

Armstrong said space was one concern that Williams did not have; the club has enough room for the six prime movers to fit into the pit area.

The event would feature as many riders as the NSW State Titles round because there are only three senior classes and no junior classes.

While the number of riders would be less, the amount of people travelling with the factory motocross teams and spectators would be significantly larger.

Williams said a round would bring at least 500 people directly related to the championships for between two and three nights as well as a crowd of between 3,500 and 4,500 spectators to Moree.

He said there would be 120 riders across three classes.
