Former Macleay resident Jarryd Oram claimed the 2018 Akubra Classic title, earning the honours for a second time.
The prestigious event was a huge success and Macleay District Motorcycle Club president Trent O’Donnell was impressed with how well the day went.
“As a club we couldn’t be happier with the event from the level of racing and competition on the day, the support we receive from the community to run the event from the sponsors, the number of spectators and the volunteers that donate their time to make an event like this happen. You’d be hard pressed to find a club or an event that draws a crowd like the Akubra Classic, it’s a special event,” O’Donnell said.
“I must thank the key officials on the day we were lucky enough to have three of the sports very best for the event in Lyndel Butler, Keith Davies and Denise Dall, who worked seamlessly with our club members and volunteers to ensure we could complete the huge task of running 92 races plus practice on the day. Their knowledge and commitment to the sport is unparalleled.”
