SPARK PLUG giant NGK is backing the Maxxis MX Privateer Award at the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship offering a year’s worth of spark-plugs and £350 worth of branded clothing to MX1 and MX2 class winners.

Prizes include NGK Spark Plugs, soft shell jackets, fleeces and other NGK Spark Plugs materials, all of which will be welcomed by any privateer team operating on a budget. In addition to this, the winners in MX1 and MX2 will also receive:
- A stunning motocross helmet from Arai

- A full set of Body Armour from Ekselsior
- Spark Plugs from NGK Spark Plugs
Tim Howes, Technical Services Manager for NGK Spark Plugs UK said: “One of the most significant factors in the rapid global growth of NGK Spark Plugs has been its core involvement with motorsport. For example, spectacular performance at the TT in the 1960's proved the products superiority in the race environment and we are very proud to be able to put something back into racing. In association with the ACU and the other partners we hope to encourage the privateers to aim for the top and become the world's stars of tomorrow.”
ACU Business Development Manager Dave Luscombe said: “This is another step forward for the best national motocross series in Europe and gives the non-Factory racers even more to race for, these are valuable products and the title will mean a lot to the winner.
“However, this new award would mean nothing without the stunning support of the companies who have chosen to assist us. It is truly wonderful to see so many companies willing to back the sport, even in these tough financial times. The ACU calls upon all of its riders to support those who support the sport, starting with these wonderful partners”
