Celebrations and mile stones of this magnitude certainly don’t come around every day and the conditions could not have been better last Saturday night to commemorate 100 years of Speedway Racing. This combined with the Sidecar Gold Cup provided a night of memories at Speedway Riders Association of SA.
Crowds flocking to Gillman Speedway to be part of history and celebration, was warmly welcomed by thrills, spills and of course an explosive firework show. All bringing together past, present and welcoming the future of Speedway racing.
The Sidecar Gold Cup was center stage for the night with Tyler Moon / Adam Lovell taking a well deserved, undefeated win. Support categories continued the flow of action with Solos taken out by Brayden McGuinness, Classic Solos won by Steven Graetz, Classic sidecars saw Chris Rae / Jamie Flood finish on top. Dynamic duo Chris Rae / Jamie Flood took out the British Sidecars with Evolution Sidecars Jim Irwin / Jeremy Sherwood finishing the night leading the pack. Young Ryleigh McGregor showed how Junior 125cc Solo’s are ridden coming in First and the 250cc sidecars had Lachlan Coppin and Haydon Kuchel bring home the chocolates for the night.
