“The BMRC is a Bermuda based national motorcycle racing series, founded in the early 1990s by David Jones, Sr. The club is dedicated to the development of motorcycle racing in Bermuda by providing a productive and safe environment for the motor sport within the community.
“Structured riding lessons are offered throughout the year to teach the basics of motorcycle riding, racing, and fundamentals of road safety while also promoting sportsmanship and respect for themselves and others. Students as young as 4 have gained invaluable skill and knowledge within the BMRC Riding Clinic 101 before advancing onto higher level programs.
“The club seeks to promote our supportive community and enrich the love of the sport. For more information on the Riding Clinic visit the website at www.bmrc.bm.
“All BMRC national race events take place at the Bermuda Motor Sports Park, located in Southside, St. David’s [directly across from Clearwater Beach]. The official BMRC National Championship races run every other Sunday with this year’s season running from May through October. There are 3 final races of the 2016 season on October 2nd, 16th and 30th. All race dates can be found in the Race Calendar section of the BMRC website.
