Club to hold night motorcross meet in Ayer Hitam
The Johor Extreme Motorcycle Club will organise the first-ever night motorcross championship in the state by the end of the year.
The club’s president Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali said that discussions were being held with various parties. He was confident that the competition would take place in Ayer Hitam this year.
Samsol, who is also Semarang assemblyman, said the club was trying to acquire enough funds to organise for the championship, adding that it would cost RM200,000.
“We have located a plot in Ayer Hitam and are finalising the details with various groups and associations,” he said.
Motorcross racing had received positive support from Johoreans and the club had so far organised seven championships in the state, he added.
He said that many of the championships featured international contestants and this was a great way to encourage youths to participate in extreme sports.
Samsol was speaking to reporters after attending a prize giving ceremony for the first round of the 1Malaysia Motorcross and Cubcross Championship held at the circuit in Sutera Mall here recently.
“We have Johor Tourism’s full support and are working closely with various councils in the state to organise motocross events.
“With the support of these groups and motorcross enthusiasts, I am confident that we can develop the sport in the state,” he said.
The first round of the 1Malaysia Motorcross and Cubcross Championship featured over 100 contestants including those from New Zealand, Iceland, Australia, Austria, Britain and Canada.
