Australasian Dirt Bike Magazine Editor, Mitch Lees and Matt Raudonikis, Editor of 4X4 Australia Magazine will go wheel to wheel in Australia's hottest new race series, the Polaris RZR Australian Championship. The two editors from the leading publications in their field and are set to engage in a battle for ultimate bragging rights within the Bauer Media stable.

"My expertise is in the 2-wheel game and I live on a diet of off-road motorcycles", said Mitch. "But there is a synergy here with our readers as the RZR events are run on Motocross tracks which is a first for Australia. I believe my racing experience on these tracks will give me the edge over Raudonikis. He's going down".

Matt Raudonikis responded to the taunt. "I reckon he might have me over the jumps as I'm more used to keeping all four wheels on the ground while he's used to big air. I'll just have to get him elsewhere on the track" he quipped. "He might know the tracks but 4-wheels are my domain and having travelled extensively throughout Australia in some of the toughest conditions and in all manner of vehicles, Mitch might be eating humble pie".

With both men vying for the opportunity for the superior result, it's going to be on! The action starts at 9.30am, Goulburn Valley Junior Motocross Track, 182 Echuca Rd, Mooroopna Victoria. Tickets are $10 at the gate and kids free. Food and drinks are available from the canteen or you can bring your own.
