Welcome to Geraldton Junior and Senior Motocross Club! We are looking forward to a ripper season, to meet new and old racers within this family-based club.

The committee has decided to offer membership early this year that lasts till 28th Feb 2023. However if you purchase a key this will expire like current membership do 28th Feb 2022.
GJSMC Club Membership
Membership entitlements make you eligible to ride and vote on matters of this club. Parents of a rider do not have to be members but can be by purchasing a family membership or a social membership. If you are a junior the right to vote reverts to one Parent/Guardian. Membership is for 1 year from 1 March 2022 to Last day in February 2022.

When completing a membership, you are required to nominate a class in which you will race for the season, you may race an extra class if you meet the criteria of age/bike capacity etc. When completing your membership select only the primary class you will race in as the extra class is nominated at round registration.
As per last year riders, it is preferred that riders register for race rounds on register now & pay their track fees online, registrations must be completed by 6pm on the Saturday before the race round, this allows time for the appropriate paperwork to be completed & ready for the next day’s races. This is where a member will nominate to ride an extra class.

Fees are paid when you nominate with Register Now for the series or each event.

Track Keys: $80
For Members wish to ride the track to practise.
Track Key: A Track Key is available for members to purchase and use for the period of membership. This gives you access to ride the track whenever it is open. It may be closed for maintenance occasionally. Being mindful of total fire bans and catastrophic weather conditions. It is your decision to ride at your own risk.
You are permitted to ride the track during daylight hours only and must be mindful of other members who are riding at the same time.
When receiving a track key this comes with an attached list of responsibilities. Please carefully read these responsibilities and rules and adhere to them. Failure to do so may result in remove of access to track.
If you do not have a key but have a membership you can team up with someone that has a key to ride at the track, but the key holder must also be at the track. We ask that you please respect the club’s facilities and notify a committee member if you are aware of any suspicious activity or maintenance issues.
If you are purchasing a key before the 28 February 2022 then it will expire on the 28th of February 2022. Then you will need to purchase another key for a year’s access to the track.

Referee Assistance: The Referee has a big job but can’t be in two places at once, so they need some assistance. Great way to learn what goes on.
Race Secretary Assistant: Paperwork on the day is a big thing. Early morning sign on and a small role during the day. You will be assisting the Race Secretary get the day off to a smooth start. (no on track commitment)

Each rider is to provide a flag person for 2 rounds of the season, flaggies are the people who keep our riders safe. Friends, family, etc are always welcomed to flag and the flaggy you provide must be over the age 16 yrs. Please bring your flaggy to sign on when you do. When doing membership, it will give you two questions for flag duty, this is your commitment to the club and the safety of our riders for the year. If we can’t fill the flaggy roster for each race round, we can NOT race, your help with this matter is greatly appreciated.
If you are a family unit you only need to provide a flaggy for 3 race rounds.
