Hereford Motocross Club

Hereford Motocross Club caters for Motocross riders and enthusiasts in the Hereford area. Established in 1978, the club caters for amateur riders aged 10 years and upwards and is affiliated to the AMCA (Amateur Motor Cycle Association). Our rider membership is upto 60, with many social members too. We normally stage 4 race meetings per year, mostly at the Walterstone track. In the past, we have hosted meetings at the historic circuit of Hope-Under-Dinmore as well as Pontrilas, (we even have a 'back-up' track at Bodenham!). All tracks are near Hereford. As well as race meetings our club enjoys regular social events too, our last being an evening of 10 pin bowling.

Well, our club is over 30 years old now and back in 1978 the club had 36 rider members:

What was it like racing over 30 years ago with HMXC?

Number of riders on the start line – Rules said 3 riders to each 10 foot of the start straight width. But if the gate was full there was a second line!

Minimum track width didn’t apply at obstructions i.e. 10 foot wide field gates!
