Australian off road championship team member Tye Simmonds, now a member of the  KTM Enduro Racing team, returned to the AREC track for the first time in some years, while Brock Grabham, a member of the Husqvarna enduro team, was competing at Mudgee for the first time.

Although Simmonds’ run was cut short by mechanical problems, Grabham won both the Seniors A Grade and Allpowers events. 

Jeff Dray of the Mudgee and District Motorcycle Club said Grabham had enjoyed his first visit to the Mudgee track and was keen to come back. 

“A lot of families came just to see them,” Dray said. “Among the kids, they are like rock stars.” 

Around 120 riders competed in the Brett Menzies Memorial Round, named in honour of a former club member. 

“It was just a great atmosphere and we had great support from Brett’s family and friends,” Dray said. 

The next round of the championships will be held on May 25.
