Club Introduction


The Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club Inc. is currently one of the fastest growing motorcycle clubs in Australia and was honoured with Motorcycling Queensland's Club of the Year Award for 2005.

The Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club Inc. was formed in October 1999 and is affiliated with Motorcycling Queensland, being the state controlling body for motorcycling sport in Australia.

The aim of the Club is to provide a dirt track riding facility on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, where locals can ride in a safe and controlled environment.

Since completing the track and facilities, our Club now holds Club & Interclub MX meetings and hosts state and national events regularly each year.

Control and supervision of these meetings is by Motorcycling Qld. accredited officials.

Junior members of the Club are encouraged to develop their potential at all levels of the sport, and track facilities provided by the Club are designed and maintained to reduce the risk to riders and the environment.

Proceed through "machinery inspection" to the nomination tables where you will nominate the events and grades you wish to ride in. Membership and Licences will be checked, entry fees paid, and ALL RIDERS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A "RIDERS INDEMNITY" at this point. ( Juniors require a parent/guardian to sign their riders indemnity.) Once nomination and machinery inspection has been completed, riders can then gear-up and get ready for the "Riders Briefing" before racing commences.
