Remembering the great Laurie Fox

Mac Park set to spring to life this weekend with the three day Master of Mac Park

The Laurie Fox Memorial Classic Master of Mac Park is set to rev into action from March 3-5. It strats with practice on Friday, qualifying Saturday morning and racing Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. Racing culminates with the Classic Master of Mac Park feature races, as well as the Laurie Fox Memorial sidecar handicap races.

With a large number of sidecars entered, these races in particular promise to be a great spectacle.

Father and son sidecar duo David and Stephen Jones will be competing on separate bikes this year so competition between them will be fierce. With more than 100 riders entered, and many bringing multiple bikes, there will be large grids across all classes.

An amazing array of bikes will be featured, some up to 80 years old, with different classes catering for different bike age and capacity.

Mac Park offers a friendly atmosphere with the ability to wander through the pits and get up and close to the bikes, with great spectating opportunities.

Entry is $10, under 16 free, with full canteen and bar facilities available all weekend.
