Registration open for new British Women's Motocross Championship
By Mike Wood on 10th Mar 17
A new bold, forward thinking and very ambitious organisation, the BWMA (British Womens Motocross Association) has been formed to promote, encourage and develop womens motocross in the UK.
The series, run over 10 rounds, will be held as an open class contest for girls and women of any ability from 85cc up to 450cc machines. Affiliated to the AMCA and run by AMCA clubs across the country, a rider's best eight scores will count towards the overall championship standings.
The season will begin with a qualifying round at Coppull to determine whether a rider will be graded as either a Pro or Support entrant.
From there onwards, although all girls will be racing in what is sure to be one very entertaining group, Pro and Support classes will be scored separately with trophies going to the top five riders at each round. Not only is there some great silverware on offer but also holeshot awards, tasty overall championship prize money and other benefits including a goody bag for all registered riders.
Vicky and Howard Marriott of the BWMA have been working overtime to get this exciting new series off the ground. They have not only pulled together a very impressive list of series sponsors but can also now boast GP star rider Natalie Kane as their ambassador.
Natalie is even hoping to attend a couple of rounds and offer some rider training before the event. Get your registration in now and help give women's motocross a massive boost in the UK. For more details head over to www.bwma-uk.com or contact themotoxclub@gmail.com
