In Omihachiman, Shiga, drive to Nakaki Honda dealership on Route 8 and turn right at the next traffic lights. Follow the road until you hear the bikes and here you’ll find a motocross track open to the public.
For ¥2000 a day you make use of the track for practice and when you think your skills are good enough you can make a team and enter yourself in the biannual races.
A team of three in an endurance race for three hours twice drives a half hour stretch each and those who place in the top three teams are awarded a trophy at the end.
If you’re a motörhead in need of your adrenaline fix in Kansai get yourself to Route 8 in Omihachiman and take a deep breath of two-strokes in the morning.
These events have dwindled in popularity in recent years so your attendance and support is sure to be appreciated. See you at the track.
