Competitors were to have the opportunity to race again at Taree’s Old Bar Roadside circuit this coming Sunday (5th August) in Round 5 of the Taree Motorcycle Club Championship.

However, Taree’s Sunday championship round has been postponed due to the Australian Senior Dirt Track Championships being rescheduled for that weekend at Barleigh Ranch.

The new date for the Round 5 Championship is yet to be advised and will be notified as soon as it is decided.
