Honda Australia will support the Australian Junior Motocross Championship once again in 2012.

Honda has continued its long standing support of junior motocross riders, signing on once again as the naming rights sponsor for the 2012 Honda Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX).

The AMJX is an annual showcase of rising motocross talent, and has been the early stomping ground of some of Australia’s brightest motocross stars.

The 2012 edition of this iconic event will take place at the Coolum Pines Motocross Track in Queensland from 29 September–6 October and will be hosted by the Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club.

Peter Singleton, general manager of Honda Motorcycles, is looking forward to another fantastic junior national event.

“Honda Australia’s association with the Junior Motocross Championship is a long standing partnership and one Honda is very proud of,” Singleton said.

“Junior events such as this are vital in the motorsports area as they offer riders of all ages a platform to experience the thrill and pressure of a national competition while preparing them for the challenges they may face in their future careers.”

Preparations for the Championship are well underway at Coolum Pines, with the Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Club working at fever pitch to prepare for the arrival of hundreds of junior riders from across the country.

“Preparations for the Aussie’s are in full swing,” club vice-president Cassidy Holland said this week.

“Although it is immensely busy organising site allocations for riders and teams at present, Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club is pumped to be hosting the event this year and is making every effort toward putting on an incredible week.”

Entries are now open and can be completed online at www.nominate.com.au.
