How To Get Started

Most motorcycle riders have gone to the Loch Lomond races at one point or another and loved them - the atmosphere, the people, and of course, the races. Eventually these people get the urge to put their own skills to the test and want to compete against other riders. It’s pretty simple to get started, whether you want to practice every week or just come from away and race.


Membership

  • The first thing you need to do is acquire a membership, which can be purchased from Gord's Sports Centre Racing LTD. on 44 Reeves Street in Sydney next to the old Canadian Tire or call Avery MacDonald at 902-561-1082. Membership is $100 per person and an additional $25 for each family member. You must sign a waiver when purchasing the membership.

Weekly Practice

  • Once you receive a key to the Loch Lomond Motocross track gate, you will be allowed to practice every Wednesday and Sunday from noon to dark. You must sign in when you enter the track. The sign in sheet is located inside the blue van by the track entrance. Please make sure the gate is locked at all times! The track opens mid-May and closes mid-November.

Gear
  • Some people wonder what they need to wear for gear when going to Loch Lomond.

    It is required to have the following:

    1. Helmet
    2. Boots with ankle protection
    3. Goggles
    4. Tether Cord (for ATV)
    5. Nerf Bars (for ATV)

    This is only the list of protective gear you are required to have. The more protection the better!

    Other types of protection:

    Roost Deflector

    Neck Brace

    Gloves

    Pants

    Jersey

    Kidney Belt

    See Rule Book for more info


Race Day

  • You do not need a membership to race on scheduled race days. You are required to pay a fee of $5 per person to get through the gate, racer or spectator. The cost of entering a class is $20.

    For example: if you only want to race one class that day, you will have to pay $25 ($20.00 one class, plus $5.00gate fee). If you want to race two classes that day, you are required to pay $45, two classes plus gate fee.
