The American-made Cobra Moto brand continues to make great strides in amateur motocross racing around the globe, highlighted this coming week, Sept. 28-Oct. 2, with a trip to Australia’s version of the American amateur motocross championships, the Australian Junior Motocross National Championship held at MacArthur Motocross complex in Appin, New South Wales.
Led by Americans Johnny Weber (Wisconsin), Brock Lassiter (Missouri) and Mason Tucker (Pennsylvania), Cobra Moto’s run at the Aussie Jr. MX National 65cc & 50cc crowns will also feature the Tasmanian tandem of Jett & Rayne Burgess-Stevens.
Known simply as “MacArthur,” the private motocross facility – the largest of its kind in Australia – boast more than 5,000 members and has been in operation since the 1980s. The long-running amateur MX event, which features the top racers from Australia and New Zealand, was a proving ground for such American pro MX Nationals superstars as Chad Reed, Bret Metcalfe and Michael Byrne. MacArthur has also played host to a number of Australian Motocross National rounds in recent years.
Running the Cobra Moto CX65s at MacArthur will be Weber and Lassiter, while the Burgess-Stevens brothers and Tucker will be running the Cobra Moto CX50 SR.
