The Nanaimo Motocross Association is on track for another extreme season.

The club is inviting the community to be a part of the action, as it hosts an open house Sunday (March 18) at Wastelands Motocross Park on Biggs Road.

The association is planning a barbecue, a practice session and plenty of local riders and racers to talk about the sport.

Wastelands is hosting five amateur races over the course of the season, but the main event is coming up June 3 when the track hosts the Canadian Motorsport Racing Club national series stop.

This year the Nanaimo Motocross Association aims to branch out to include ATV riders and remote control offroad enthusiasts. The club intends to build a mini track for small wheel racers, an RC track for remote control enthusiasts, and a mud bog for ATV riders.
