Racers will be bursting from the gates from 5.30pm on Friday evening, with club registrar Kat Williams and the crew keen to host the fast-paced sport for young speedsters.

The twists and turns around the local track draw riders of all experience levels, Kat said, but the adrenaline hits its peak when the older riders take off, vying for the first-past-the-post victory.

“A lot of the big boys who race have raced previously, before we reopened. We only opened again a couple of years ago and it was shut for 10 years before that,” Kat explained.

The club entered a recess in 2004 after organiser numbers dwindled, but was reignited when a local racer, Kat’s brother, sought to bring the track out of retirement.

“We talked about it and my brother decided we were going to do it,” Kat said.

“He used to travel over to Grafton to do his club meets there.”

Aside from a club in Tamworth, Kat estimated the nearest club was Grafton, which made the local track all the better, offering Moree young people an alternative sport.

BMX racing, billed as the activity for those keen to turn anything into a race, gets underway every second Friday at 128 Endeavour Lane. 

After great support from the Moree community over recent years, the club has added canteen facilities to their headquarters, with barbecues to fire up on Friday night.

BMX is one of the fastest growing elite sports in Australia and tipped as one for the whole family.
