Track Closures

THE TRACK WILL BE CLOSED TO ALL RIDERS SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 29TH AND SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH.

Please take the time to lock the gate

As members of such a great place to ride, we the members of the Nanaimo Motocross Association have the duty and the right to protect ourselves. We must take the time to lock our facility while we are using it, as well as when we leave it. It is a condition of membership we agreed to when we joined the club, and our obligation to all the other members. It is one way, we can all do our part, to protect our facility from unauthorized use and vandalism.
 
Lock up when you arrive, lock up when you leave!
It is a condition of membership.

A new lock is being keyed to install on the gate at the track. It will be easier, and more convenient to use. As a result of the many complaints about the difficulty in using the current lock we have decided to try a new type of lock.
"Please ensure the security of your facility by using it.”

Live it, Love it, Lock it up.
When you arrive, and when you leave. 

If you leave the gate unlocked,
You may have left for the last time.
