Moree Motorcycle Club and the Boolooroo Raceway began in 2000 and since its inception has grown and developed into a thriving and successful sporting club. In 1999-2000, the track was established enabling the club to develop a high standard, fully irrigated, perfectly groomed motocross track. The club offers various events throughout the year, including Club days and Interclub days supporting both motocross and enduro riding. One of its highlight events is the Boolooroo Open held annually.
Over the past five years, the club has been fortunate enough to have increased support and dedication from its members and the wider Moree community. This has enabled the club to hold high level motocross events such as the North Coast MX Series in 2015 and the Rockstar MX Nationals in previous years. As a result of the clubs' dedication and hard work and support from the local community, the club received the honour of Rockstar MX Nationals 'Venue of the Year' for both 2010 and 2011.
