The family Goldbeck deserves nothing but respect for this great racing day. They have organised it as a family project, in which every family member had a part: bartending in the beer-tent, jumping castle for the kids, watering of the track, everything was organised and the WMCC (Windhoek Moto Cross Club) was extremely satisfied.

Approximately 100km east of Windhoek, on the road towards Gobabis, lies the Goldbeck farm which is home to the new ASTRA Moto Cross track. With the support from Ronnie Adams the Goldbeck family has created a race track of uncomparable quality. The composition of the ground is exceptionally favourable; the sand is compactable and includes no gravel which is perfect for a MX-track. The second race under the official title "Astra MX-Cup" will be hosted on 8th of March.

It was an exceptional start-off for this season`s Moto Cross. All classes offered exciting races and the highlight of the day, the „Wesbank King of the Dirt“ (combination of Open/125cc Class) offered non-stop action for 20 long minutes plus one lap. The spectators saw first class MX sport.

On the 16th of February the mx-season of the howling two-stroke and roaring four-stroke engines starts. The Gallina Moto Cross Park, situated on the Waldschmidt-Eggfarm, opens its gates again for another year of Moto Cross action.

For the first time the all new Okahandja Track opened its doors for an official practise session. We arrived at around 11:30 and many riders on quads and bikes were eager to test their new 2008 material.
