Coolum set to return in 2017
Earlier this month, MX Nats promoter, WEM’s Kevin Williams, confirmed that the final round of the 2017 MX Nats series would not be held at the Sunshine Coast’s Coolum Pines circuit for the first time since 2006. Today, however, in the wake of WEM’s “positive meeting” with the Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club, WEM released the following PR to confirm that the Coolum round has been reinstated to the series’ calendar.
Williams Event Management (WEM) together with the Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club (SJMC) would like to confirm that after a positive meeting at the Coolum Pines venue in Queensland today, that the club and promoter of the Motul MX Nationals Kevin Williams, have reached an agreement which will see the series return to the venue for the final round of the championship in August. Following the recent withdrawal of support for the round which resulted in the event being removed from the Motul MX Nationals calendar, an emergency club meeting was called after an outcry from the SJMC members, where a 60 – 2 vote in favour to host the MX Nationals was reached.
Following the club’s meeting, a major events sub-committee was formed to manage the venue’s key events. WEM and the SJMC then met in Queensland today, and it’s since been confirmed that the agreement which was put into place last year will continue with Round 10 of the MX Nationals to be held at Coolum once again in 2017. Williams made comment following the outcome of today’s meeting. “Today was a very positive day for not only the MX Nationals but for the Suncoast Junior Motorcycle Club. We were surprised when we were notified by Justin Grover (now ex-president) that the club had withdrawn its support of the round, but thankfully that has all been resolved now and we’re excited to continue to work with the SJMC which we’ve had a very long and solid relationship with,” Williams shared.The tenth and final round of the 2017 Motul MX Nationals will be held at the Coolum Pines Motocross Track on August 19-20.
