UK Supercross on this summer - dates and details
By Press Release on 1st Jul 21
Yes, you did read that right. Theres going to be some outdoor Supercross action in the UK this August. And following his foray in AMA Supercross Dylan Woodcock is the first name of Britains top riders to be confirmed to race.
Steel Hawk Motorcycle Club are ready to introduce their Airborne Gunner Summer Supercross at Cusses Gorse, Salisbury on Tuesday, August 3.
"Racing the Monster Energy AMA Supercross is a dream come true," says Woodcock and thats why hes on board. "We need a regular Supercross series in the UK for us Brits, so more kids can get better at it and hopefully one day we'll have more riders going to race the best in the world over in America and all the indoor events around the world.
"Look at the amount of French riders who have gone out there, most of them grew up doing some Supercross in France. We need a series in the UK from the young kids, all the way up. Hopefully this is the start of it. I'm right behind what the guys at Steel Hawk MCC are trying to do and will support them all the way. Its exciting and different from all the motocross races we have going on in the UK"
All the action will take place on a new, purpose-built track by JB Tracks head honcho Justin Barclay, not much of a surprise as Justin runs the immaculate Cusses Gorse Circuit.
The new UK Supercross track, which will cater for all abilities, will be built in the infield of the main motocross track and be floodlit for the inaugural event that will see the youth classes racing in the daytime with the racing on into the night.
"A lot of British MX fans saw how well he had done racing the AMA Monster Energy Supercross and hes right behind what were trying to achieve, so its great to have him signed up.
"Hopefully well get more young British racers improving their skill set for Supercross and in a few years time, we may have more Brits racing in AMA Supercross.
"If that happened, wed be pumped, because ultimately thats the drive for getting UK Supercross back and running. I remember when they first built the Supercross track at Matchams and buzzing about it as a 13-year-old. They had double jumps up there when they first built it and I remember being the first rider to take them on with my 85. Thankfully I cleared them and my confidence went through the roof after that.
"Racing those Wednesday night Supercrosses at Matchams was awesome and its that vibe for riders and fans we want to bring back. Just a good, chilled out evening in the Summer taking in the action, be it racing yourself or watching. Were excited for it and hopefully a lot of other people will be too and we can build it into an integral part of the British off-road motorcycling calendar."
Spectator tickets for both events will be available online soon we'll keep you updated.
