ARX is a club for racers by racers. The all volunteer management group of Mike Johnstone, Bret Bonham, Chris McQuillen, Chris Compise and Rick Doughty are out on the track at every event mixing up with the members. They want the same things we all want, a well organized program, great track layouts, competition and camaraderie. With the profit motive removed, you get events designed around the love of the sport of motocross and it simply doesn't get any better than that.

Our 30+ class is now an Open Age class which gives the occasional 20 something competitors a place to slot in.

NOTE: 2012 has a 5 race requirement for year end awards. You will continue to be awarded and accumulate points for every event you race but if you have your eye on the year end prize, you will have to be a member and make it to at least 5 races (per class contested) in 2012 to qualify for a year end award. Membership is not required to race but is required to earn points towards a year end award.

In the event of a tie in points, the winner will be the rider with the most 1st place finishes.

ARX has a stellar line up of sponsors for 2012. Vintage Iron, EZ UP Shelters, Dunlop tires, Race Tech suspension, Uni Filters, Motocross Files and Moto Retro magazine have all combined to make our club the best supported vintage motocross club there is and we should all remember them when it comes time to buy products.
