Ararat, Victoria was the location for the 2018 Australian Classic Motocross Championship on September 21-23. The field had over 100 riders riding 300 classic machines at the prestigious event held in Ararat for the first time.
The weather was perfect for the weekends racing and the Scrambling Victoria Inc and Ararat Motorcycle Club had put together a great track, that put the classic bikes to the test. The facilities also at the track were sensational and helped make the weekend a breeze for all spectators and participants.
It was great to see the local community out and about in full force at the track as the crowds packed in on both Saturday and Sunday.
A big shout out has to go to local legend Phil Scott, he was one of the main reasons the Australian Classic Motocross Championship came out to the Ararat region. It was a quest that started back in late 2016 and with the help of a small enthusiastic group, it happened, and it was a great success.
