This weekend’s sixth round of the 2017 Motul MX Nationals series will be dedicated to those who serve our country as riders and teams prepare to unveil their military appreciation-themed liveries at Nowra on 2 July.

With the Nowra event taking place a short distance from the HMAS Albatross, Australia’s largest operational Naval establishment and our only air station, it comes as a fitting location to pay tribute to the armed forces.

Kevin Williams of Williams Event Management looks forward to not only seeing Australia’s best motocross racers hit the track, but to also show their appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our Australian armed forces.

“This weekend’s round is not only important from a racing point of view, but we’re looking forward to seeing Australia’s fastest riders do their bit in reminding the country of how appreciative we all are of what our armed forces do for Australia,” Williams said.

“Last year we saw a number of bikes completely decked out in camo, we had involvement from the Royal Australian Navy and our goal is to match or better what we did last season.

“Nowra is a home for many of Australia’s Navy Officers and we’re very honoured to be able to pay tribute to them at round six on Sunday.”

On-track action will commence at Nowra this Sunday 2 July at 8:00am, for more information on the MX Nationals series and this weekend’s event head to www.mxnationals.com.au.
