Thrills and Action at Brandon Sports Reserve as 80 Riders Hit the Track

The roar of engines and the spirit of competition filled the air on Saturday, August 23rd, as the Ayr Motorcycle Club hosted a high-energy race day at the Brandon Sports Reserve. Kicking off at 3:00 PM, the event attracted 80 competitors from across North Queensland, with riders travelling from as far as Sarina, Townsville, and Charters Towers to take part.

Spectators were treated to a thrilling afternoon of racing, with events across multiple classes delivering plenty of close battles, skillful riding, and strong sportsmanship.

“It was a fantastic day for the club and the sport,” said Karl Vass, President of the Ayr Motorcycle Club. “We had great weather, strong numbers, and a supportive crowd. It’s always rewarding to see riders from across the region coming together to do what they love.”

The club praised the efforts of its volunteers, supporters, and sponsors for helping bring the event together and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day.

Looking ahead, the Ayr Motorcycle Club is now gearing up for Founder’s Day on the 27th September. This will be a special memorial event, one of the most significant meets on the club’s calendar, honouring past members and celebrating the club’s racing legacy. A full day of racing and remembrance is planned, with more details to be confirmed shortly.

“Our memorial event is always an important day for our club community,” said Karl. “We expect another strong turnout, and we encourage everyone to come down and be part of it.”
