Day in the Dirt is the back-bone of Taikorea-MX and will hopefully continue to be so (2010 tentative dates below).

Whether you're a new Pee Wee/Mini rider or a Pro - 500 class rider, we have a space for you at one of the Dirt-Days held at Taikorea through-out the year.

The fees are not expensive, they're priced to cover running expenses such as a First-Aid professional on the day and costs associated with the land itself: track grooming, rates, bunting, signage and general up-keep. In fact much of the work and maintenance is carried out by volunteers (supplied materials and time) so we can keep the place running.

With-out a doubt the MOMCC (Manawatu Orion Motorcycle club) is the reason Taikorea-MX exits in the first place. Mort played a big part in it, however it was the ideas and efforts of the club and its people that got the project off the ground. Incidentally, Taikorea then and now was not developed to make big profits - nor does it intend too. The purpose of Taikorea MX and Day in the Dirt in particular is to provide a fun-filled safe environment (well, as safe as motorcycles can be) for people who just want a great space to ride. It's also there to help foster our future stars within the sport.

Provided Dirt-Days continue to be a desirable environment for the off-road rider - we'll continue to run them.

Enjoy your ride at Taikorea and if you have any ideas or feed-back for improvement, drop us a line.

CANTEEN

For Dirt-Days there's also a canteen with Fresh pies and drinks should energy levels get a little low.

Times, dates and what you'll need?

When coming out for a ride at Taikorea-MX, you'll need three core things:

1. A well serviced bike: It is up to the individual rider to make sure your bike is in a suitable condition to ride (Check brakes, spokes, chain play and suspension when topping up fuel, oil and air-pressure in the tyres)
2. A good helmet and boots: We highly recommend goggles and gloves also (especially when dusty)
3. Common sense: Follow the park rules. We want you to have a safe and enjoyable time.
