Sophie Molan, Noah Parsons ready for Shipwreck Coast two-day event

The Terang-based Molan and Allansford local Parsons will race in this weekend's Shipwreck Coast event, which has attracted a record number of entrants.

The club confirmed over 330 riders would attend its annual two-day event over the Australia Day weekend at its Lake Gillear home.

Molan, 19, said she had mixed emotions about hitting the track with her CRF 250r bike in the ladies class after practising around her family's property in Terang.

"I'm pretty nervous as there is a wide range of girls racing. There are heaps of girls from Victorian title winners but I am excited," she said.

The WA Molan and Son's Earth Moving employee, who has raced bikes for five years, said the goal for her first race since October is to "stay on the bike".

Parsons, 17, who has ridden bikes since he was five, is excited to begin his second season racing in the Senior light b-grade this weekend.

"It's going to be a bit different because we haven't raced in a while," he said.

"(The last time was when) we had one club day event a month or two ago.

"It's going to be great actually. Raced it (the class) last year and it was pretty good.

"Needed a bit more fitness. Since they have opened the track again I have gone there most weekends and been riding."

The second-year Allansford Truck and Trailer apprentice diesel mechanic said his goal for the event was to finish his races, not get hurt and come away with an alright result.
