By Press Release on 11th Dec 20

Supercross

A Supercross event for the UK has been announced for August 3, 2021 by the people behind Steel Hawk MCCs Rock it 'til Sundown.

Following Steel Hawk Motorcycle Clubs announcement last month outlining their plans for 2021 they are excited to announce that entries for their Airborne Gunner Summer Supercross are now open.

The Airborne Gunner SX will run at Cusses Gorse MX circuit on Tuesday, August 3, the day before Steel Hawk MCCs Rock it til Sundown Summer MX Classic which will be in its fourth year in 2021, effectively making a two day event for those who wish to race both events or hopefully come out to spectate if were getting on top of Covid by then.

Like Rock it til Sundown the 'Airborne Gunner SX' will mirror the formula of youth racing in the daytime with adults rolling out for their fun in the evening. Youth racing will feature Auto, 65cc, Small Wheel 85cc, Big Wheeled 85cc, Rookie 125cc and Rookie 250cc classes while the adult schedule will consist of Clubman MX2, Clubman MX1, Expert MX2 and Expert MX1.

Like we said before, its exciting times for us, says Steel Hawk MCCs Jeff Perrett. 2020 has been such an odd year, we all know that, but one thing its made Paul, Julie and myself realise is that youve just got to roll the dice while you can. Some would say its a gamble to run a Supercross when the world is still in plenty of uncertainly but for us, its not a gamble at all because its something weve been planning for some time and all want to do and are fully committed to getting a proper SX scene going in the UK and making it stick.

Weve spoken to Justin Barclay (Cusses Gorse MX) at length about it and we have a long term plan in place to turn Airborne Gunner into a series going forward, but for now lets get the inaugural one off the ground and build on that, just like we have with 'Rock it til Sundown.

We plan to run a safe, but enjoyable Supercross for all standards. The excitement of it is all about the tightness of the racing that Supercross brings so were confident well build a track that will generate some really entertaining racing. By running it the day before our Rock it til Sundown MX race we hope to generate a summer festival feel in the school holidays and see everyone having fun. Thats a big motivational force for us, its what riding dirt bikes should be all about, well to us anyway!

Each class will be limited to 16 riders, with three motos each to decide the overall winner. Entries are open for online booking only here where youll also find more information about the event.
