The Knox BMX Club’s primary function is to provide organised competition for those riders wishing to participate in BMX racing. The club caters for all age and gender groups with current riders ranging in age from Under 5 to over 50.  The club provides a friendly and supportive atmosphere for all involved.

Monthly club races
Club Championship race meetings are held twice a month on a Friday evening. Other club meetings are scheduled on both Friday nights and sometimes on Saturday afternoons.  Full details are listed in the club Calendar and also on the club web site www.knoxbmx.com.au

Other racing in Victoria and interstate
Riders can also choose to compete in the many open competition race meetings held on most weekends throughout Victoria or the rest of the country.

When can I ride at the track?
The Knox BMX Track is open to the public at all times unless there is an official club race meeting or other function such as practice or coaching in progress. When the gates are closed there are two pedestrian gates where bikes can be lifted through.

Gate Practice
For most of the year the Knox BMX Club opens the track for gate practice on a Thursday night between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. (Under lights when necessary) Gate practice is sometimes suspended for a short period through the winter months. More details are included in the most recent club newsletter and on our web site www.knoxbmx.com.au
