A big weekend for Scotttish Off Road as the Six days starts on the Monday and the Maxxis British Motocross Championship goes to Duns just South of Edinburgh and on May 8/9th the Grampian club host the British Enduro Championship.
ACU Events have released the Start List for the event on May Bank Holiday Sunday at Duns in the Scottish Borders. Situated in the beautiful Lammermuir Hills, the Johnny Douglas- Hamilton built circuit offers all round viewing for spectators. First used for a major event in August last year when it hosted round seven of the 2009 series, the Borders MXC have now taken over the organisation of the 2010 event which promises to be a cracker!

The first round of the mx323 series was a resounding success as the club struggled to promote the event against the glitze of the Red Bull series unsportingley rescheduled not more than thirty miles away.
Thanks to the Sidecars and top solo riders supporting the ACU and very good track preperation by the Little Silver club, the sun and an enthusiastic crowd an entaining race event was run.

LIVERPOOL SUPERCROSS TO RUN EARLY THIS YEAR
The fourth annual Merseyside stop of the Future West ACU British Supercross Championship will take place on November 27th, 2010, at the Liverpool Echo Arena two months earlier than its usual late January slot, " it's a good move for several reasons" commented Future West's John Hellam "the weather was atrocious in January this year which caused some problems finding and transporting dry dirt, moving the event to November before the US season starts will gives us more choice in star riders for the international classes, it also means the British Riders can compete in the Supercross Championship throughout the autumn on a regular basis giving more riders a better shot at the official ACU British Supercross Championship and the huge £ 40,000 + in prize money, it will also leave them with more time to prepare for the the outdoor season after Christmas.
Our eventual goal for the future is to have the championship wrap up before Christmas, we have a good working relationship with all of the major venues in the UK so in time as dates become available a pre Christmas championship will become a reality. At the moment it's looking like the London o2 event will be the only round to be run after Christmas this season, so we are getting close to our goal".

Youthstream’s President Giuseppe Luongo has this week confirmed that there definitely will be a British Motocross Grand Prix in 2010, thus dispelling previous stories surrounding this subject.
“Unfortunately we have not been able to find a way forward with the local promoter in Great Britain, but that does not mean that the FIM World Motocross Championship will not visit the UK during 2010. At Youthstream we recognise just how significant the British Grand Prix is to the series and this is something that we wish to continue,” Giuseppe Luongo declared emphatically.
