On Saturday, there will be practice on the oiled dirt track for the seniors and juniors who already have track time and "Come-and-Try" activities on the grass for juniors who are learning the sport.
Club president, Troy Baker, explained that "Come-and Try" is for riders aged under 16, who are beginners or novices.
It is non-competitive and will feature rider training, bike set-up tips, some "minikhana-style" exercises and the participants will ride laps on the grass while being supervised by senior coaches and members.
Troy added that knobby tyres can be run as the participants won't be riding on the oil track.
TMC vice president, Ian Bisley, will again run the "come-and-try" activities on Saturday.
On Sunday, round four of the club championship will be held with racing on the oiled dirt track for juniors and seniors.
Saturday and Sunday will be the last opportunity for juniors, who will be entering the NSW Junior Dirt Track Championship to practice and race at the track before the State event is held at the track in July - in less than six weeks.
