Organised by Kelab Sukan Permotoran Pusak Itam Kuching ( KSPPIK), the race aims to introduce ‘ pocket bikes’ which are basically miniature motorcycles to the local community.
“The Mini Pocketbike Club Race is an opportunity to develop interest among riders, especially those aged 21 and below, on the easy-to-maneuver pocket bike.
“From here, we can start educating young riders on traffic laws and motorcycle safety,” said KSPPIK secretary Fadillah Sulaiman in a statement on Wednesday.
He pointed out six categories contesting in this second series: ‘Under 13’, ‘Under 21’, ‘Open Category’, ‘Gymkhana’, ‘Slow Ride’ and the main category ‘Piala Pusingan Giant’ where winners will each receive a trophy, certificate and hamper.
“This event also aims to find new talent among ‘anak Sarawak’ interested in motorbike racing,” he added.
Fadillah noted that past winners from the first series of the race will also be competing in the race on Labour Day.
One of them is champion in the ‘Under 14’ category, Awang Hafizul Awang Kasuma who received a trophy, certificate and hamper for his effort.
“I will be seeking to defend my title for the second time in the Mini Pocketbike Club Race 2017,” he said.
