NSW Senior Dirt Track Deemed Non Event
After two unsuccessful attempts at running the 2015 NSW Senior Dirt Track Championships, both of which had to be called
off for weather, the Motorcycling NSW Board of Directors have determined that the event will not be run again for 2015.
The Coffs Harbour Motorcycle Club put in a huge effort to ensure that the venue was in tip top shape and give the event
every opportunity to proceed, however, the one thing beyond their control was the weather which turned against them.
Motorcycling NSW would like to thank the Coffs Club for a tremendous effort and the riders for continuing to support the
event. With one round of racing completed, no refunds will be provided.

IT WAS A CLEAN SWEEP FOR AUSTRALIA IN THE 2016 INTERNATIONAL SIX DAY ENDURO – AND NOW IT’S OFFICIAL!
After weeks of deliberation, the announcement was finally made yesterday that the Australian Senior World Trophy Team
consisting of riders Daniel Milner, Matt Phillips, Josh Green, Glenn Kearney, Beau Ralston and Lachlan Stanford have been
crowned VICTORIOUS after the contentious 2015 ISDE!!
France was initially announced as first place despite a number of their riders missing a check point throughout the event
and being subsequently disqualified and then reinstated upon protest. The entire matter was referred to an international
court who determined that the French riders would remain disqualified and reinstated the Australian team’s rightful
position.
The confirmation that the Senior Trophy Team took out first place results in a clean sweep for Australia who also took out
the Women’s and Junior Titles! Congratulations all round guys and girls, the World’s best Enduro riders are from Australia
– WHAT AN HONOUR!!
