FLASHBACK: Action from a previous 125cc Pairs event at the Kingaroy Motorcycle Speedway track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 15, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavy rain this week has forced the postponement of this weekend’s Under 16s Queensland Championships due to be raced at the Kingaroy Junior Motorcycle Speedway.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Bees had been planning to host the State championships for the 125cc Solos and Best Pairs on Saturday at their showgrounds track.<\/p>\n

However, after track inspections on Wednesday afternoon, the event was cancelled.<\/p>\n

“There is far too much water laying, not only on one end of the track but the surrounds as well,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“This won\u2019t allow for machinery in to tend the track.<\/p>\n

“With the weather prediction for the next two days being cloudy, it is not looking favourable for the track – with the volume of water – to dry enough to make for safe racing.<\/p>\n

“Therefore, we have had to make the extremely difficult decision to cancel the championships for Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We hope that everyone understands just how hard making this decision has been as we have put a lot of work into making these championships great for the riders.”<\/p>\n

The early decision was also necessary as riders were expected to travel to Kingaroy from New Zealand, NSW and North Queensland to take part.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Bees are scheduled to hold another major event next month.<\/p>\n

They will be hosting the 2024 Australian Under 16s 125cc Individual and 125cc Best Pairs Championships on September 28-29.<\/p>\n

No date has been set yet for the rescheduled Queensland Under 16s event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
