TWO Eldorado brothers are hitting the track this weekend for the third round of the Junior VIC Motocross Championships at Winton Motocross Club on Saturday, 28 and Sunday, 29 June, racing from 9am-3pm.

Riley Wheeler, 10-years-old, is leading the Junior VIC Motocross championship in the 65cc C grade after two rounds.

Darcy Wheeler, 12-years-old, came second in the 85cc small wheel C grade class last year in the Victorian titles which saw him move up to B grade for this year’s races.

Proud dad, Marcus Wheeler, said his sons are feeling good going into this round.

“Riley is leading his grade and is feeling pretty confident and excited to compete on the weekend," he said.

"Darcy has moved up a grade so that's been a step up for him.

"The boys have been racing for three years but they have been on bikes since they were little.

"It's my fault, I've always been into riding and that's how they got their foot in the door.

"They were a bit intimidated by the racing at first but now they love it and hope to continue to move up."

Wheeler said the support of sponsors, Gasmoto and Wheeler Earthworks, makes all the difference in giving the boys the opportunity to compete.

The community is encouraged to come along this weekend - entry for spectators is free with a canteen available to purchase food and drinks.

Wheeler said they have a very entertaining and exciting weekend ahead of them.

“The boys are competing at a fairly high level, so you see a lot of action,” he said.

"It's worthwhile for the spectators and encouraging for the competitors to see the community come out and support them."

The brothers will head to Ballarat for the fourth and final round of the championships.
