Rounds 1 and 2 will be a double header at the Nerang BMX Club, QLD, which has become an institution within the sport for hosting the series opener. Taking advantage of the great weather and holidays, racing will start just after the New Year on Friday, January 2 and Saturday, January 3 and is sure to attract a high number of competitors from across the globe.
