2011 Super X schedule released

Global Action Sports (GAS), naming rights sponsor, Monster Energy, and Motorcycling Australia (MA)revealed that the 2011 championship will visit five new locations throughout October and November 2011.

Now in its fourth year, the Super X series will start in Melbourne on Saturday October 22, then head to Wollongong on Saturday October 29; Sydney (Campbelltown) on Saturday November 5; Hunter Valley (Maitland) on Saturday November 12 and conclude in South East Queensland (Ipswich) on Saturday November 19. After visting Victorian regional centres in previous seasons, this year marks the first time Super X visits Melbourne, with Sunshine's Melbourne Knights Stadium to host the opening round.

Managing Director of Global Action Sports, Michael Porra, was delighted to announce this year's schedule and the company's commitment to the series.
"We have been working incredibly hard on this year's championship and we are looking forward to once again delivering a world class series to Australian supercross fans. We have some great venues confirmed and I am super excited that we will finally have a race in Melbourne.
"GAS has also responded to feedback from fans re ticket pricing and I am happy to announce that through our partnership with Monster Energy and MA, we have been able to offer far greater value to fans from 2011, with an all new and more affordable ticket price structure," Porra concluded.

CEO of Motorcycling Australia, David White, shared Porra's enthusiasm and confirmed the continuation of GAS's license to run the official Australian Supercross Championship.
"I'm thrilled at the outlook of the 2011 Australian Supercross Championship with Global Action Sports at the helm," White said.
"The future of the sport is in good hands with everyone involved committed to the growth of supercross in this country and the development of Australian riders."
