LOOKOUT Tamworth, the Jim Beam Girls are roaring into the Country Music Capital to rev up a round of the Yamaha NSW Stadium Motocross Championships at the Tamworth Showground next week.
And the Jim Beam girls are more than just pretty faces promoting the motocross.
They are also racing!
Rebecca Lipsett is Australia's number one female motocross rider. She is part of a four-girl racing team also including Erin Normoyle, Kristy Hunt and new member Chloe Biffin.
Erin, Kristy and Chloe will be racing in next Saturday's Ladies Open Class at the Stadium Motocross Championships. Twenty female riders have been confirmed for the event.
Organisers have also introduced a senior women's Lite Class.
With a growing number of girls racing in the sport, promoters have given the women their own class.
"It is great to see these girls, who are by no means tomboys, racing in a sport usually dominated by men," promotions manager of next weekend's stadium motocross Samantha Sargeant said.
Tamworth motocross riders will also be out in force at the Tamworth Showground next week.
More than 450 riders have entered the day/night event, an increase of 100 on last year's numbers.
The motocross series, now in its third year, travelled to towns such as Parkes, Orange, Maitland and Penrith last year.
