Jarred Brook, hailing from Queensland has sensationally claimed victories in the Pro 450, MX Open and the Pro 250 classes at the 2017 Australian Senior Track Championship. Hosted by the Tamworth Motorcycle Club, the event was a great success and put on a spectacular show for the local spectators from 8-9 December.
The President of the Tamworth Motorcycle Club, Paul Slade was pleased with the success of the Australian Track Championship; “The event delivered plenty of action and really exciting racing. The track was in really good condition and handled the warm sun well. The standout has to be Jarred Brook – who won the final and Nick Morris won the Pro Open. The crowd was very impressive on Saturday night and riders were very happy with the two-day set up,” Slade finished.
