The Motocross Competition has once again stunned the throng as the racers displayed their nerve racking and mind blowing act on the ground and in the air in the 1^st Leg of the Mindanao Wide Motocross Series at the 59^th Araw ng Lanao del Norte celebration on July 1, 2018.

Hundreds of racers from Iloilo, Cebu, Tawi-Tawi, Zamboanga, Ipil, Pagadian, Dipolog, Ozamis, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Maguindanao, Cotabato, General Santos, Jose Abad Santos-Davao Occidental, Davao, Digos, Tagum, Bukidnon, Dumaguete, Palawan and Manila have come to compete for the 1^st Leg of the 7^th Leg Series. The Province of Lanao del Norte was represented by Tri-SND (Sultan Naga Dimaporo) Motocross Racing Team.

The Mindanao Civic Center Sports Complex race track in the Province of Lanao del Norte was carefully engineered to bring out the best skills and talents of the racers by replicating the contour and lay-out of some of the best dirt tracks of the American Motorcyclist Association which made the MCC race track one of the best and challenging in the country and lived up to its name as the “Motocross Capital of the Philippines.”

Speed, precision and nerve of steel of the riders make the sport extreme. Jumping the same bumps, navigating the steep curves while racing side by side with your competitor at full throttle separates the boys from the men, and elevates the extreme activity to an extreme sport.

BRC Events Promotions in cooperation with the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte made this event successful. Provincial Governor Imelda ‘Angging’ Quibranza-Dimaporo thanked the participants for joining the race and looking forward to see them again in the final leg this coming December. Governor Angging strongly supports the occurrence of Motocross Competition every celebration of Araw ng Lanao del Norte.
