Few sport events are any more thrilling than moto-cross.

In Yorkton that means a trip to the Millstone Park Raceway which has been operated by the Yorkton Motorcycle Club for the past 16 years.

Named the 2008 Motocross Track of the Year, the race-way is located two km north of Yorkton on the #9 Highway next to Millstone Park, the original site of Yorkton. The track is open daily to club members to sharpen racing and off-road handling skills. Daily and yearly riding pass-es are available for non-mem-bers Monday to Saturday at Schrader Motors during nor-mal business hours. Parental accompaniment is required for riders under 18 years of age.

A kiddies’ or beginner track is available for beginning rid-ers. As well, the club offers a riding school for novice riders, dates to be announced.

“One of the very unique things about motocross is that racers of all ages, genders and abilities complete on the same day on the same track,” said local sport spokesperson Rick Bradshaw. “Although there are a number of different classes to group riders by abil-ity and ages, there are very few if any sports where an entire family compete on the same day. New spectators are often surprised by the ability of a rider only to discover they are a 12-year-old girl then watch as two 50-year-old men bang bars and battle back and forth with the stamina of men half their ages. Watching a couple of the top professional racers in the country battle for a win then co gratulate each other after 20-minutes of competition shows the sports-manship that motocross rac-ers have.”

And fans will love the track too to enjoy the high-flying action, spinning rubber and flying dirt associated with the

sport. “Yorkton’s Millstone Raceway facility is great for spectator access as they can walk around the fenced inside of over half of the race track and see the action from a variety of viewpoints,” said Bradshaw. “With the area being located next to the high-way access is great. Plus, the club always does one of the best race preparation jobs in the province so the track is well watered and groomed for awesome race action.”

“Motocross is a very excit-ing sport. The start of a race can have up to 40 racers on

the line together heading in the first turn. New spectators love the high jumps and bumps. All enthusiasts enjoy the close racing action and many come to realize the great skill it takes to make a lap let alone multiple laps at racing speed.

This year the track will host a CMRC Provincial Championship race Sunday, September 18.

For more information about the track or the motocross race call Rick Bradshaw at 783-3333, or Rick Dawson at 621-1426.
