Motocross club racing for Ray
The Top of the South VMX club are holding their annual Ray Anderson Memorial Trophy and Club Champs on Sunday May 7 at Tadmor.
This year marks the 13th Ray Anderson Memorial.
Ray Anderson was member of the Nelson motorcycle club from 1947 to when he passed away in 2003 and spent 52 years as secretary or treasurer, as well as being a member of the MNZ executive in the early 1960s.
Ray received the service award medal from MNZ in 1996 and also the Nelson community service award in 2002 for long-standing and valuable contribution to the sport of motorcycling.
Ray raced all over the country and was involved in most motorcycle businesses in Nelson until he retired at age 65.
The Ray Anderson Memorial Classic Trophy recognises this contribution and is raced for by a different class each year drawn on the day which gives all senior riders the opportunity to race for the trophy.
All the classes race for the club champs and the Tapawera Hotel cup for the overall club champ.
The 2017 event is proudly sponsored by Morley Motorcycle & Marine.
Food and drink are available on the day with the profits going to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.
Sign in from 8am and racing starts at 10am.
