BLACKBURN'S Rocket Centre have announced their team line-up for the forthcoming North West AMCA, British and British Masters Championships.
The team includes Lee Buck, from Darwen, on his Yamaha YZ450F, together with a trio of local Honda riders.
Two of those, Guide’s Dave Parrington and Burnley’s Ryan Crowder, will be Honda CRF250 mounted while Ryan’s son Aaron will ride a Honda CRF450.
Rising MX star Jamie Ellis joins the team this year and it’s hoped he will benefit from the guidance and product-based support on offer.
The 14-year-old, who attends Colne Park High School, will compete in the Maxxis and the BYMX Youth Schoolboy Class.
Support for the Rocket Centre team comes from Honda, Yamaha, Apico, Putoline, Fox, One Industries and Lazer Helmets.
General manager Stewart Holden said: “We have sponsored local riders for the past seven years and I feel it is a important part of the business.”
