| Stanmore Motocross circuit is a fast, open flowing track approximately 1.45kms in length. The surface is a mixture of hardpack, thick loam and sandy patches. While it always has been an exciting venue for spectators, the variable elevation, interesting mix of technical and high-speed corners, ensure the track caters for every class of rider: from the novice, through to the experienced competitor. Set amongst natural bushland, Stanmore is a true test of endurance and skill with 11 jumps of varying length and difficulty. To ensure it maintains its wide appeal, substantial modifications to the track have been made in recent times. These include two new tabletops immediately following the first corner (removing a notoriously treacherous chicane), as well as other general improvements to overall track quality. 30 self penalising, backward or rearward falling, mechanically actuated starting gates provide a seamless start to every race meet; with plans to upgrade from 30 to 40 now in place. These improvements have significantly increased the entertainment value the track provides, as well as giving all riders a new layout with which to hone their skills. |
