The appeal of the meeting has drawn riders from the three states on the eastern seaboard with Queensland riders travelling from Ayr, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.
Victoria is represented by riders from the Albury-Wodonga club while 12 clubs from across New South Wales will have riders this weekend.
The biggest representation by any club is not surprisingly the host Coffs Harbour Motorcycle Club which boasts of many riders who travel from other country areas to be a part of all the excitement coming up at their track located on Phil Hawthorn Drive, Coffs Harbour.
Back in April. many of the riders competing this weekend contested the New South Wales Junior Dirt Track Championship meeting at Kurri Kurri, and there are three riders who will be out to replicate their class wins from that meeting.
Braxsen Anderson will be out to repeat his two class wins in the 7-Under 9s classes while Lockie Duggan and Hugo Homes are also out to add to their success from April in the 9 – Under 13s.
Others among the entry list have also had championship successes which should ensure close competition for honours in all age groups.
The 9 – Under 13s classes have drawn the biggest entry list, necessitating three and four heats over four laps per round in the two classes before a six-lap final.
The 13 – Under 16s, which is the next group to head into the senior ranks, is typical of most classes with a very evenly credentialed line-up where it is difficult to single out major chances.
Among the non-championship support classes on the programme will be Flat Track classes for two age groups as preparation for the upcoming Australian Flat Track Nationals series. Those races will be over eight laps.
Action fires up on Saturday morning with practice for all age divisions after the Riders’ Briefing at 9am. Fans can catch the action for 10 dollars for adults, with 15-year-olds and younger for five dollars.
