DIXON The battle-within-a-battle for best club honours was won by the Southland Motorcycle Club, earning them the inaugural Bryan Davidson Memorial Trophy. Southland scored 474 points over the weekend, edging out the host Manawatu Orion Motorcycle club by just three points, with the Tauranga Motorcycle club finishing third, 20 points further back. Davidson, a long-time stalwart of the 110 KIWI RIDER host Manawatu Orion Motorcycle Club, passed away last year. He was well loved and respected by the Kiwi motorcycling community and had held the post of MNZ motocross commissioner. Motorcycling New Zealand general manager Virginia Henderson said it was “terrific value having the 65cc class and women’s support classes included for the first time this year and it will continue to be our focus”.
