Welcome to Caithness Motocross ...
About the club ....
Caithness Motox club is the most northerly club in the British mainland, it was formed in the early seventies and has evolved over the years to become a club that caters for both motocross and quad riders. In the past the club used to meet at different venues throughout Caithness and Sutherland to compete over varying types of terrain and annual visits to the Orkney Islands used to allow for inter club championships. The highlight of the clubs history must be when it held a Scottish Schoolboy championship race in the mid eighties at the excellent motocross track just south of Brora, this was a major scoop for such a small club as Caithness

About Ravenshill .....
The clubs main objective today is to promote the off-road sport of Motocross to all ages under the watchful eye of the Scottish Auto-Cycle union (SACU) to which we are affiliated. We are currently aiming to offer a permanent venue for practicing and racing on throughout the year and a lot of hard work is being put in by willing volunteers to try to meet this aim.
New members are always welcome at the club and as the numbers show over the past few years the club is heading in the right direction.
