“It’s about giving everyone the opportunity to come and enjoy the displays of MX, off-road and dakar memorabilia. It’s my personal collection, that I have been fortunate to accumulate over a long period of time, preserving our proud dirt history is paramount,” Holden said.
“Display’s such as this are long overdue, as there is nothing specific in terms of similar museums that are dedicated to off-road, which is crazy given how popular dirt riding is in this country.
"I have made a minimum two-year commitment to the awesome Horsham Motorcycle Club. It’s something I totally believe in and is my small way of giving back Horsham Motorcycling Club.
“Through hard work, the club has secured Round 4 of the 2017 MX Nationals, 2017 Australian Junior MX Championships and the 2018 World Junior Championships.”
Holden has also created a Holden On Tight Australian Junior Sportsman Spirit Award for junior riders.
“It’s just something I’ve thought of for a while now, with everything in this modern era being centred on winning it’s nice to have an award that goes beyond the scope of just winning awards on a points based system,” he said.
“We are really leaving this award open for any junior rider that has achieved something special or committed an act of random sportsmanship or humility during the week.”
The award will be given to any Junior rider from the ages of 6-15, from any class, who demonstrates true spirit.
“My five-year sponsorship plan is to support every junior class, 13 in total, by offering $100, $50 and $25 for the first three place getters in championship classes,” he said.
