The Auto Cycle Union (ACU) has confirmed its partnership with Dave Willet of the X-Bladez Club and will collaborate with him and his crew on projects planned for the Kent-based Sellindge MX and other facilities.
The ACU is committed to facilitating seamless operations and fostering a conducive environment for all motorcycle sport activities. The organisation will support Willet and his associates in their endeavours to operate premium practice and training days and become ACU registered coaches.
Willet and Co played a pivotal role in successfully placing a number of the UK’s talented youth motocross riders on the world stage last year, firstly in Romania at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship and then in Belgium for the Coupe de l’Avenir.
While Willet was the front man, it was thanks to the efforts of his valued team, sponsors and, of course, the parents who shared their wealth of experience in race craft and training, to support the young racers. They all worked together to develop the youngsters’ on and off-bike talents and encouraged them to act in a professional manner while representing their country. This clearly made an impact with the ACU.
“We look forward to supporting Dave and his support network every step of the way, to achieve outcomes that benefit the sport in the UK,” says Sonia Goggin, the ACU’s Motocross Commission Co-ordinator..”
“We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the ACU for our new plans,” adds Willet. “This partnership aims to achieve outcomes that will greatly benefit the off-road sport community.
“Our ultimate goal is to provide facilities that will introduce new concepts, making it easier for beginners to enter the sport. Additionally, we will be offering a variety of training opportunities under ACU affiliation.
“We are confident that this collaboration will bring positive changes to off-road sport in the UK, and we can't wait to get going.”
