THE Portland Motocross Club honoured 10 years since the passing of member Dwayne Alexander at the annual Dwayne’s Day in the Dirt event with a huge turnout making for a big day of racing.

The annual event was created to honour the impact and involvement he had on the club with many members taking the chance to celebrate and reflect on Saturday.
There was multiple classes and races on offer throughout the day as well as a slow lap around the track to pay tribute.
Simon Parry, a local rider who was mentored by Dwayne, said the day is a great chance to reflect on the impact he had on the club and wider community.
“Dwayne was such a passionate man for motocross racing which was passed onto his kids and now some of his grandkids as well which is nice to see,” he said.
