The legendary Long Buckby National track was the venue for the final round of the 2017 South Midland Centre ACU Adult motocross championships. NMCC had worked hard all week prepping and watering the track to perfection, the weather also stayed warm and dry on this occasion. The regular SMC riders were joined this time by the Eastern Centre NGR Over 30s championship for their final event of the season.  

Michael McClurg once again dominated the Expert category, whilst Kristian Hutchings showed some impressive speed to bring it home in second each time out. Callum McClurg took the overall from Max Nethaway in the Junior A class, despite both finishing on equal points with a win and a third each. Callum Sedgwick and Tim Soane also finished on equal points for third and fourth with a second and a fourth each. Steve Worts won both of the Junior B finals, Luke Macey took second both times to finish second overall ahead of Alexander Churchill.

In the NGR races Tim Clark looked to have everything under control winning the first two races from the start. In the final encounter Aaron Hopkins had other ideas however, reeling in Tim for the win just before the finish. Aaron took second overall by a single point from Liam Walker. In the Premier O40 class Cliff Lester battled closely with Tony Leishman all day. Cliff got the better of Tony in the first two races to take the overall, but Tony showed he still has what it takes winning race three. Rupert Fairclough showed consistency to take third overall.

In the Elite O50 class Fraser Law won all three legs from Greg Cox who was never far behind. Steve Worts took third each time. Nigel Miller also took three wins on his way to dominating the O60 class, Reg Willis taking second from Trev Roberts. Liam Walker took the overall victory in the U40 class despite two wins for Aaron Hopkins. James Jackman finished second ahead of Max Nethaway. Tony Leishman once again dominated his signature class, winning all three 2 Stroke races. Liam Walker took second each time.
