Motocross competition will return to Victoria at Wonthaggi on 13 December when the gates drop on the 2020 AMX MXOpen event, headlined by $15,000 in prize money.

Racing will return this side of Christmas at the Dandenong Motocross Club, confirming that Penrite Honda, CDR Yamaha Monster Energy and SB Motorsports will all be on-track.

“We are starving for racing,” commented event organiser Yarrive Konsky. “It’s been eight months without competition in Victoria and riders, sponsors, teams and clubs are hungry for it. I wanted to see racing happening this side of Christmas and I appreciate the Dandenong Motocross Club’s enthusiasm towards making this possible.”

Motorcycling Victoria CEO Robert Mestrom added: “We are getting behind this event. Yarrive, the DMCC and Motorcycling Victoria share the same passion for competition. We know that some of our members want to get back to racing and we have offered our full support to Yarrive and the DMCC.”
