Since the Goldbeck family organised such a great 2nd championships race, the Windhoek Moto Cross Club decided to honour this effort and achievement and relocated the 5th championships race from Gallina to the Astra race track. On this excellent track we will bear witness to the showdown of the year in the Open/125cc Class, the all-deciding encounter between the protagonists Rainer Becker and Tommy Gous.

Pupkewitz-Honda rider Rainer Becker once again won the raceday, but more of that later. The wonderful weather conditions attracted a lot of spectators and motorsport fans to the Coastal Cement Works-race track.

The Namibian Moto Cross circus moves west to the coast, where on the 3rd of May the 4th Championship race will be hosted under the official title "OBECO Moto Cross Thrills". It is the first time that the sanitary and tiles store OBECO sponsors this kind of event.

Fortune smiled upon Rainer Becker when he left Gallina Moto Cross Park as the overall Open/125cc champion for the third time this season. In the first heat he grabbed the hole-shot but at the end of the first lap he had to make way for Tommie Gous on a Zenner-Yamaha.

The 3rd round of the Namibian Moto Cross Championship race - officially called the “Wesbank Moto Cross Challenge” - will take place on the 19th of April at Gallina Motocross Park. Wesbank, an affiliate of First National Bank of Namibia, has been true to the sport for the past 5 years. The Gallina Moto Cross Park is situated on the road towards Okahandja and is part of the Waldschmidt egg-farm. After only two previous races everything is still open of course, but the top riders have definitely left their mark in the respective racing categories.

The posh Thule restaurant was the place to be last Saturday, march 15th, for all ardent motorsport enthusiasts, when the Namibian Motor Sport Federation (NMSF), held their annual prize-giving for the 2007 National Champions in the variou categories. It was a highly festive atmosphere, the dinner was excellent and the recipients of the valuable trophies were all smiles.

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.
