Early in 2006, two Namibian riders were chosen to participate in the Grand Prix of South Africa, one of them being Ronnie Adams who will represent Namibia in the MX1 class (known here as the Open-Class category).

During the "WESBANK Moto Cross Challenge" Ronnie Adams proved, that he is presently in top form. And this is expected of him, as he is going to represent Namibia at the Grand Prix in Sun-City / South Africa. Ronnie won all three heats in the Open-Class as well as 3 heats in the Quad-A-Class. This is an extraordinary achievement! Many spectators came to the Gallina Moto Cross Park as the weather was just perfect for a racing day. Unfortunately, riders were dwindling in some of the classes, which was especially apparent in the Clubmen's Class. The situation was made even more tragic by the fact that 3 riders are in Germany at the moment, Ingo Waldschmidt's occupation made him indispensable, and Wolfgang Rohe' Honda had technical problems.

After almost two months of abstinence, Windhoek's friends of motorsport have the opportunity to experience yet another WESBANK Moto Cross event on the 3rd of June. It will all be happening at the Gallina Moto Cross Park, 15 km outside of Windhoek, on the road towards Okahandja.

Messrs Brockmann & Kriess, with it’s internal Jägermeister-Branch, supports the Windhoek Moto Cross Club for the last three years in many ways.

For the running 2006 season, it was decided to support the "notorious" after-race parties at well known Gallina Moto Cross Park. Jägermeister will be in with a cheque of N$ 20.000 (Twentythousand N$). With this money the Windhoek Moto Cross Club will sign nightly activities and attractions to these well received parties. For a long time these Gallina parties are a meeting point for the Windhoek youth. From now on all the parties at Gallina will be referred to as "Jägermeister-Party" and will be held after the prizegiving.

Heavy rainfalls in and around Swakopmund have turned the Moto Cross track near the saltfields into a lake. With the help of Swakopmund based construction companies, an attempt was made to get rid of the water, to no avail! What a pity. With a heavy heart it was decided to organise the event on the 6th of May in Omaruru instead - the sponsor H.-Keil having no objection to a transfer. So please make a note: H.-Keil Moto Cross Raceday on the 6th of May in Omaruru. The track is located next to the golf course and there are signs on the road leading the way.

Swakopmund will host the next mx-race on May 6th near the salt-flats. It is with great pleasure to notice that “Namibia’s X-treme Sport Number One” was revived at the coast after some years it had vanished nearly completely. About 8 to 10 years back the coast was a stronghold of mx-racing with shining names like the Windisch-brothers (Walvis Bay) or Nicki Pajewski and Gino Rossi (Swakopmund) to name but a few.

The MX-aces gladly drive to Gobabis, simply because this event is always something special, something unique. The first race this season in the capital of "Cattle Country" had perfect sport to offer. The Open Class, wholly attracted the spectators' attention – here MX was presented on the highest level! There are a couple of names that simply have to get mentioned before I begin with the chronological upsumming: There was Animal Wise, who chased the competitors with his wholehearted riding-style, there was Ronnie Adams who, always looking for the chance, found it in the first and final heat, and there was the oldest rider at the gate, who in the 2nd heat showed the boys how it's done. We are talking about Ingo Waldschmidt! The biggest surprise, (however with advance announcement during the last race in Windhoek), was Rudi Brand from Swakopmund. Later more of that. Apart from the Open Class, the 4-Wheelers in the supporting programme offered best entertainment.

Gobabis: capital of the east, cattle country, town of the 20 churches. The town in Namibia's east has many attributes. However, Gobabis is also a stronghold of Moto Cross sport since many decades. It all started with the Becker family, who originally built this beautiful track on soil which is unique not only in Namibia! There were several organisers in the up and down of club life. For some time now, Wikus Engelbrecht has made a name for himself as chairman of the Gobabis Moto Cross Club (GMCC) and under his leadership top-races were held in the past. Unfortunately he again had great problems to find a sponsor for this year's event on the 8th of April. The local Big-5-Hotel acts as sponsor.

Once again this was a Moto Cross race that was to the liking of the friends of motor sport, last Saturday at the Gallina Moto Cross Park. There was perfect racing weather and a perfect race track due to the many rainfalls during the past two months. As expected from the Windhoek Moto Cross Club the races were carried out according to the planned time-schedule. The present guests of sponsor WESBANK were very satisfied with the whole organistaion.

That is the question! The field was much more dense in the Open Class during the first "WESBANK Moto Cross Challenge" in the previous month and was thus very surprising. The coming race on the 4th of March should be even stormier as the current champion Ingo Waldschmidt and ex-champion Eckhart Waldschmidt will take part. Let's see how it all turns out.
