The club confirmed close to 300 riders had entered the annual two-day event at its Lake Gillear home, which was a record.

Secretary Tracy Chilton was pleased to see members of the club doing well after a prolonged time away from racing.

"Those riders work hard to get where they are and especially when they haven't been able to race due to COVID and everything," she said.

"To see their smiles at the end of the day was nice. Sunday was a hot and muggy day but I don't think it really mattered it was just that all the riders were happy to be there and ride their bikes and be with their moto family."

Shipwreck Coast's next event is a Western Region round in April and Junior State Titles in May.
