2016 Hawkstone International will take place on 7th February
HIMX are now in a position to release the date of February 7th for the 2016 Hawkstone International. The organisers have released the date early again to avoid clashing with the other major Internationals and also before the usual early start of the GP season.

In 2015 HIMX had to run the early date of the 8th February and this worked perfectly, the weather was extremely kind to them and the crowd was exceptional. It is hoped several GP stars will attend the event with names being announced over the coming months. Entries will open soon for the MX1 and MX2 classes and next year the support class will be the MXY2.

Gary Ford - Event Secretary - "We wanted to ensure that we avoided any clashes with the major events in Europe and we hope once again to attract a quality field of riders as we have in the past. The GP season starts early again next year so it is important to get Hawkstone run before they leave for Qatar. We welcome having the MXY2 class as the support class and it will be great for the younger riders to races in the same event as some of the top GP riders. Once again we are really excited about the event and hope it will be a success like in previous years."

As and when things begin to happen for the event the latest information will be on www.hawkstoneinternationalmx.com
