Over 100 motorcycle brands will be set up in Lang Park, close to Win Stadium and Australian daredevil will be ripping on Belmore Basin on his famous water bike, there’s a great fish and chip take away shop on the basin to fill the belly.
Between the festival and the racing action, grab a craft beer at the Illawarra Brewery, adjacent to Win Stadium – but it’s worth making a booking. Wollongong has a range of great cafe’s and restaurants to suit your needs, plenty within walking distance from the stadium. Food and beverages will be available at the stadium also.

WHO TO WATCH FOR?
SX1 – Luke Clout, #4 on the CDR Monster Energy Yamaha is a local New South Welshman and will be looking to take it to American Justin Brayton, who currently leads. American Josh Hill will arrive for round three. This will be his first outing in Australia, he has been looking fast and fit on social media – can he spoil the party? Husqvarna’s Jesse Dobson has been struggling so far with mechanical and health issues, but has shown glimpses of serious pace – can he shock the solid SX1 field?
SX2 – Local boy Aaron Tanti will have the support of the Wollongong crowd. The super consistent Serco Yamaha rider currently has the red plate, will he after Wollongong? Look for Chris Blose to end his run of bad luck and Mitchell Oldenburg to continue his current form. If you want to get behind another Aussie, look for Jay Wilson. Jay is the reigning Australian Supercross Champion and one of the nicest guys in the pits – you may see him running around with his young daughter between races.
EXTRA ACTION
Not only will you witness the premier classes race, some of the countries best juniors will take to the track, including the YZ65 Cup.
