The date for Round 2 (DH) of the 2010-2011 National Series has been changed to January 15-16 2011.

This was done to avoid a known date clash with a large 24hr race (also in Victoria) and the Newtons Nation, a multi-facetted gravity event to be hosted in Bathurst (NSW).

Mojo Events, the Newtons Nation promoters said, "Newton's Nation will once again welcome many thousands of revellers to the famous Mount Panorama motor racing circuit in Bathurst NSW and play host to three days and two nights of world class gravity and action sports, featuring competitors from across the globe – all to the tune of some of the best bands and DJ's in the country."

The make-up of the 2010 - 2011 National Series is now:

XCO1, XCC1, DH1 and 4X1: 5 - 7 November - Illinbah (Qld)

XCO2 and XCC2: 19 - 21 November – You Yangs (Vic)

XCO3, XCC3, DH2 and 4X2: 10 - 12 December – Hobart (Tas)

DH3: 15 - 16 January – Mt Baw Baw (Vic)

XCO4, XCC4 and DH4: 4 - 6 February – Mt Buller (Vic)

Further 4X rounds are being planed and will be released as soon as they are confirmed.

Key features of the 2010 - 2011 season include:

* Increased prize money totaling in excess of $70,000 cash plus product
* A "end of series" prize cheque for the series winner (for Elite, U23 and U19)
* More targeted DH entry fee
* Same great organisation and administration
* High quality venues

MTBA looks forward to seeing you at Round 1 at Illinbah.
