**Somersby, NSW** – The 2024 Australian Junior Dirt Track Championship has been given a second chance, with the Central Coast Junior Motorcycle Club stepping in to host the event on November 30-December 1. The championship was originally scheduled for Mildura in September but was canceled by the host club. The Allen Park track in Somersby will welcome the nation’s best junior dirt track riders for the second time in six years, with entries opening shortly via RiderNet.

**Milner Makes History in AORC**

Meanwhile, KTM DM31 Racing’s Daniel Milner has etched his name in the history books by clinching the 2024 Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) title in Nowra. Milner’s victory equaled Toby Price’s Australian record of five AORC titles outright, cementing his status as one of the country’s all-time great off-road competitors.
