HORSHAM TO REPLACE BARRABOOL AT 2012 MX NATIONALS

"It is very disappointing this decision had to be made," said WEM's Kevin Williams "The property is owned by Motorcycling Australia and they currently have some planning applications before the local authorities and they may not be finalised until around the time of the event. Under those circumstances it was prudent to change the venue for that round.

"We would like to thank the Horsham Motorcycle club for providing the venue to ensure the championship series can maintain its 10 rounds scheduled for 2012."

The Monster Energy MX Nationals, Australian Motocross Championship, last visited the Horsham MX track in 2010, when the Western Victorian circuit hosted the season opener.

Currently in its mid-season break, the Australian Motocross Championship will continue at Hervey Bay in Queensland on Sunday, 1 July.
