This was a real opportunity for anyone interested in some colourful action photos.

Motorcross

Norwich Vikings had the honour of hosting round four of the 2008 Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship. This took place on Sunday 4th May and marked the halfway point in the series as it continued its tour of the UK mainland before it moved on to Northern Ireland for the next encounter in late June.

The Cadders Hill circuit near Lyng, Norfolk (Just outside Dereham) is the furthest point East on the campaign, and is always a popular stop on the tour for both riders and fans alike.

The rolling grass valley, with its sandy track surface has been home to British championship meetings in their various different disguises for over twenty years. In addition to being a loyal supporter of the domestic series, Lyng also hosted a 125 Grand Prix back in 1993.

The day began with MX2 practice at 9.30am, followed immediately by MX1 practice before the riders autograph session at 11.30am. The first MX2 encounter was scheduled for 1.05pm, with action right through to the last MX1 race at 4.30pm.The Cadders Hill track is situated one mile North of the A1067 Norwich to Fakenham Road, or three miles from the A47 Norwich to King's Lynn Road and will be signposted from these major roads on the day of the event. For those with the luxury of satellite navigation systems, the track can be located using the postcode NR9 5AL.

This is a day for taking sandwiches and a flask although there's sure to be food available.

Cost of entry is £20.00 per adult or £15.00 concessions.  Children are £5.00 and a family ticket is £40.00.
