Inaugural ACU National 4 Stroke Minibike Championships
 Sunday
13th May will see the first round of the inaugural ACU National
4 Stroke Minibike Championships take place at the fabulous
Tonymoto motocross park near Winchester, Hampshire. Final
preparations of the custom designed and built track are nearly
complete, ready for the onslaught of the minibike brigade.
This is the first stop on the five round tour to decide six
separate ACU National Minibike champions, who will have the
honor of carrying the much coveted number 1 plate the following
season, as they look to defend their respective titles.
The championship is open to all riders of all abilities,
from raw beginners looking for their first taste of racing
right through to the elite runners who will be hoping to taste
the winners’ champagne and collect the title come early
September.
All riders 15 years old and over are invited to be a part
of what is already being recognised and regarded as Europe’s
premier minibike race series.
Since the initial announcement, the take up for entries has
been both fast and strong, with riders throughout the length
and breadth of the UK signing up for the entire five rounds.
With such a good geographic spread of entrants, the resulting
champions will have truly earned their right to be National
crown wearers.
“The response has been fantastic, perhaps more than
we initially expected. It shows that we were right in thinking
that minibike riders were ready for a national championship,
and this has been reinforced by the flood of entries and interest
we have received.” Commented Paul Hunt – Ex National
125 Motocross Champion, who heads up the organising team.
Hunt continued. “The track at Tonymoto is really coming
together and will produce some great racing as it has been
designed and built especially for four stroke minibikes. The
sport is right on the brink of becoming really big, and with
the likes of Tommy Searle and Carl Nunn endorsing minibike
racing, it’s not hard to see the attraction it has to
the youngsters out there who are looking to break into the
whole minibike scene. We are really excited about the first
round, and judging by the huge amount of e-mails and phone
calls we continue to receive, so are the riders.”
