Motocross will take the peaceful seaside town of Swakop- mund by storm this weekend when the second leg of the Jägermeister Invitational MX-Classic takes place on the track just north of the town, opposite the salt pans.

What a commotion! 48 hours prior to the start of the first race of the Inter-Series "Jägermeister Invitational MX-Classic" the WMCC was informed that the MX-track in Olympia would not be available anymore for motorsports activities. Now it showed that the well attuned team of the WMCC really had logistical talent. Within 24 hours a track was created at Gallina Moto Cross Park and on the 6th of November the riders had a well prepared track at their disposal. Unfortunately the spectators did not honour these endeavours; so few came that the first chairman of the club could have greeted each and everyone with a handshake. However, those that came, were not disappointed at all!

Was just informed by our chairman Tobie Barlow that the Municipality withdrew the permission to race in Olympia because of complaints from the neighbourhood.

In a ad-hoc descission the WMCC decided to hold it's annual Jägermeister Invitational MX-Classic this coming saturday at the Gallina Motocross Park, 15 K's outside of Windhoek, on the Road towards Okahandja.

Under this official title a so called invitational moto-x-race will be held at Adrenalin Park in Olympia on the 6th of November. For 36 years the WMCC (Windhoek Moto Cross Club) has hosted MX-races in Namibia and the Inter-Series goes into its 14th year now.

After eight unsuccessful attempts to win the annual Namibian Motocross Inter-Series, Ross Branch from Botswana finally grabbed the coveted Jägermeister-Trophy last Saturday in style as well as the prize-money of N$ 25.000. All this in front of his parents who travelled all the way to Namibia. After the glorious victory the previous week in Swakopmund, it was the Team-Manager from Honda-South Africa who also decided to become a witness of Ross’ eternal victory in Namibia. Ross Branch won this event with a maximum number of 150 points, never achieved before in the 13 year long history of the Namibian Inter-Series.

This coming Saturday the 2nd leg of the 2009 Inter-Series will get staged at Gallina Motocross Park under the official name "Jägermeister - MX Dash for Cash". The famous Gallina Motocross Park is situated 15 Kilometres outside of Windhoek, on the road towards Okahandja.

This was a picture-book event, everything was just the way it’s supposed to be; excellent organisation by the host Namib Off-Road Club, a good number of spectators, first-class riders, and a maximum victory for the representative of the Bike & Quad Clinic Team from Botswana: Ross Branch.

Messrs Kingsley, internationally operating company and major player in the field of beverages and flavored soft-drinks has become main-sponsor of the 1st event of the Inter-Series to be held in Swakopmund on 7th November. A representative of Kingsley watched the last race in Swakopmund in October and was so impressed with the exciting motocross sport that in an ad-hoc descission sponsorship was offered. The Namib Off-Road Club is very grateful for this generous sponsorship.

Five sportsmen from Angola applied to partake in the 2009 Namibian Inter-Series. One of them Jose Teixeira, better known as ZE COMANDO. Jose Teixeira is at the same time the owner of Honda Muxima Racing, the official racing-team representing Pupkewitz Honda on national and international level in Motocross racing. This team exists since 2 years and is professionally run and extremly successful.

Waldschmidt Eggs will traditionally be the patron for the team from South Africa. It is always a major problem to obtain rider-profiles from these chaps, from south of the Orange-river! But for one exception and that is the living legend Geoff Den

The Namibian distributors of the German herbal liqueur „Jägermeister“ brand are engaged in mx-racing for the past 6 years already. At Gallina Moto Cross Park the afterrace-party is traditionally known as the Jägermeister-Party amongst the Windhoek Youths…the hottest party with the coldest shots, as they say.
