Rounds three and four of the AORC 2019 Championship have attracted more than 200 competitors to the track at 1707 Chichester Dam Road from 6-7 April.
The event is hosted by the Dungog Motorcycle Club.
Daniel Milner (KTM Enduro Racing Team who is ranked second in the world will be on the track and, as there is no cost for spectators, it's a great chance for fans to get up close to the action.
The world-class line-up also includes Daniel Sanders (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team) and Luke Styke (Active8 Yamaha Yamalube).
Jessica Gardiner, a member of the Australian women's team and the first Australian woman to win the International Six Day Enduro (Women's class) will also be a crowd favourite.

Support classes are 2 Stroke Cup - 125cc up to 250cc 2 Stroke and Vintage Cup - Evo Pre 86.
Daniel Sanders is one competitor looking forward to the enduro event at Dungog.
Sanders has moved up to E3 for 2019, taking out back-to-back class wins for rounds one and two in Toowoomba, Queensland.
Finishing with just over three minutes up his sleeve, Sanders moves into Round 3 and 4 in Dungog with an irrefutable spring in his step.
Sanders, who is part of the Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team, is third place holder of the 2018 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) and won the outright title and second place in the 2018 ISDE E3 class.
"There were definitely a few dramas at Dungog last year, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming rounds with an Enduro format," he said.
"As opposed to last year I'm feeling really confident coming into this round, even with the challenging conditions that Dungog certainly presents.
"Basically, I blew a fuse out on the track last year and had to get the bike started again.
"I was really tight on time, so once I diagnosed the problem - thanks to the help of other riders - I pinned it to the finish line.
"It was a tough day in the office, that's for sure.
"It was basically a 50/50 chance on whether the bike would make it to the finish line or not."
