The engines are loud, the dust is flying, and the 2025 motocross season is shaping up to be a memorable one for the South Corner Racing Circuit (SCRC). With the sun shining and new energy fueling every race, the southeast Saskatchewan racing scene is thriving.
At the heart of it all is Lucinda Milford, president of the SCRC, who’s seeing firsthand how the club’s dedication and community support are pushing the circuit forward.
“So far it's been a really good season,” Lucinda says. “We've had great weather, and the tracks have been amazing. The riders are all doing very, very well.”
With a brand-new board and recently purchased equipment working like a charm, the 2025 season has already passed the halfway mark on a high note. The SCRC has also reintroduced two former tracks and added four extra race rounds, a welcome expansion that’s attracting fresh talent and enthusiastic spectators from across the province and beyond.
The organization released a video on their social media, highlighting their double-header weekend in Alameda.
While every race brings its own thrill, Lucinda says it’s tough to choose a single standout moment from the recent event in Alameda.
“Everybody's running so good it's hard to pick like one highlight or standout moment,” she explains. “It's great to watch the young riders, the new riders hitting goals that they've been wanting.”
Whether it’s pulling off a daring jump, shaving time off a lap, or snagging the ever-coveted “hole shot” (the lead position out of the gate), Lucinda says the energy is electric at every event. And it’s not just the riders making progress, Lucinda says fan support and rider participation are both growing steadily, thanks in part to cross-circuit collaboration with other clubs in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
While outdoor motorsports often face challenges like weather, Lucinda says 2025 has been unusually smooth for the SCRC.
“Luckily, we've had good weather with the new equipment, which we've had to learn.”
The new system has made it easier on organizers, reducing stress and allowing volunteers to enjoy the racing experience more fully.
Lucinda’s involvement with the SCRC runs deeper than the boardroom. She’s also a racer and motocross mom, often seen at events riding and cheering on her sons, all of whom race competitively.
“I honestly didn't get into it until 2019. I'd never rode a bike before. My youngest told me I could never do it, that pushed me to do it.”
Now, her weekends revolve around motocross, from setting goals on the track. She couldn't do it without the hard work of her husband Sheldon and the other moto moms in their pit to manage the trailer every race weekend.
“The biggest part for me isn't even about winning anything. It's doing something of value with my children. I don't care if you're first. I don't care if you're last. As long as you go out there, you have a fun time, you give it your all, and you come off safe. That's my goal.”
The sport teaches more than just speed and technique; it fosters teamwork, life skills, and lasting friendships. Lucinda says her boys have learned to maintain their bikes, manage time, and support their peers, all while having a blast on the track.
“They're doing phenomenal things on and off the track. The sportsmanship is huge, I can't find anything better for them to do as a sport.”
Join them for more racing dates left in the season, August 16-17, in Assiniboia.
September 13, in Weyburn, September 20, in Carlyle, and September 27, back in Estevan.
From rookies to seasoned riders, the SCRC isn’t just racing, it’s building the future of motocross in the southeast.
