Hawkstone's here!
By TMX Archives on 25th Mar 11
The waiting has finally ended! The date of the Hawkstone International has finally arrived and the organising HIMX team are all geared-up and ready to go for their biggest event of the year.
The Hawk Plant diggers and bulldozers are in, the track is looking great and so far the weather forecast is good.
The riders are all set and the action will kick off early Sunday morning at the historic Hawkstone Park venue.
A whole host of top foreign and British riders are signed-up to contest including quite a number of Grand Prix regulars such as Tanel Leok, Steve Ramon, Clement Desalle, Sebastien Pourcel, Marcus Schiffer, Arnaud Tonus, Valentin Teillet and many more.
They are set to go head-to-head with some of the best motocross riders from the British Motocross scene including Brad Anderson, Tom Church, Stephen Sword, Shaun Simpson, Jason Dougan, Martin Barr, Gordon Crockard, Nez Parker, Graeme Irwin, Elliott Bank-Browne, Jake Nicholls, Max Anstie, Tommy Searle, Neville Bradshaw, Zach Osborne plus various others.
The racing is set to be fraught and action packed at one of the best loved motocross tracks in the country at one of the biggest motocross events set to be staged in the UK this year.
The HIMX team has arranged a busy schedule with a total of seven races – two each for International MX1 and MX1, and a Support class.
Then to round out proceedings there will be a SuperFinal, backed by new energy drinks firm Route77.
Tickets are only available to buy on the gate and will be £20 per adult and under 14s are free.
