2021 MOTORCYCLING SA CALENDAR OF EVENTS – RELEASED!

2021 MOTORCYCLING SA CALENDAR OF EVENTS – RELEASED!

 

While COVID-19 played havoc with season 2020 and a lot of what was planned to happen on the 2020 calendar, it hasn’t stopped MSA, along with great help from the Sports Managers, the Clubs and promoters putting together a huge 2021 Events Calendar – which isn’t finished by any stretch of the imagination – as there are still dates to be added for a couple of disciplines (Dirt Track, Enduro and Quads/Sidecarcross), as well as rounds and venues allocated for the 2021 SA Motocross Championship.

If all goes to plan, these dates should be able to be finalised soon after the Sports Manager’s Meeting on December 10th – so in about 2 weeks from now, stay tuned for those announcements. Motorcycling SA would like to thank all of the Sports Managers, the Clubs and promoters for their work and assistance in getting to this spot – and hopefully with a December 1st re-start after the 2nd COVID lockdown, there won’t be any more going forward and we can all enjoy the sport we have such a passion for!

2021 will see a fantastic amount of disciplines hosting National, and International, events in 2021, with rounds of the Australian Superbike Championship (The Bend), the ‘ProMX’ Australian Motocross Championship (Gillman) and the Australian Off Road Championship (Kingston SE) all being held in SA, along with all 4 Australian Junior Speedway Championships (2 @ Gillman, 2 @ Sidewinders) and the FIM Oceania Solo & Sidecar Speedway Championships (Gillman) also to be held in SA during 2021.

         

There are also a number of other highlights to be had in 2021 – headed by the bi-annual, brilliant and iconic Sellicks Beach Historic Races, to be held over the weekend of March 13 & 14, being run by SA’s oldest Club, the Levis MCC, on the sands of Sellicks Beach. Entries will open very soon for this event, and with a capped entry list, be quick to ensure you can step back in time and race SA’s ‘oldest race track’!

Each discipline has an iconic event, or 2, so keep an eye out for the following events during the year;

CLASSIC MOTOCROSS – the 2020 SA Historic Championships, @ The Levis Scramble in September

ENDURO – heading across the border for the Finke Desert Race in June, or the Hattah Desert Race in July

MOTOCROSS – The King of the Gulf, along with Prince & Classic King of the Gulf at Port Pirie over Easter

RELIABILITY TRIAL – SA’s most iconic annual event since 1924, The 24 Hour Trial, as always, on the ‘2nd weekend in July’!

ROAD RACE – The 3 Hour Race @ Mallala in March, the Easter Cup (April) and Master of Mac Park (Oct), both at the Mount!

SIDECAR-CROSS – The Murray Williams Cup (& Wayne Kearvell Passenger Cup) – still to be confirmed

SPEEDWAY – The Jack Young & Bob White Cups (senior solo & sidecar) and the Roy Bitmead & Graham Baker events (junior)

TRIAL – The 46th Peter Sparkes (Sidecar) Trophy and the Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy events – saluting legends of the sport!

    

The SA Women in Motorcycling crew will also feature heavily in 2021, with the South Coast MXC kicking things off with a Come & Try Day at Monarto in March, followed by the SA Women’s Cup for motocross to be held once again over Easter at Port Pirie, with the SA Women’s Cup for Trial (the first event in SA to have the girls & women headline) to be held in the Barossa Valley in May, and this year, complete with a Come & Try Day on the Saturday before.

Enduro, Motocross and Trial (at least) will once again feature classes for girls and women in their SA Championships for 2021, and like all classes in all disciplines, they will be subject to minimum entry requirements (check each discipline’s sup regs for these entry requirements) – so get behind these disciplines and ensure that all SA girls and women are fighting for an official Championship in 2021!

2021 certainly looks like it’s going to be a huge – and busy – year for all, and it’s already underway with Gillman and Sidewinders Speedway venues – so keep checking out the MSA calendar on the MSA website for updates. (The online calendar will start being uploaded next week!)

Below are each disciplines confirmed events (as of 27/11/2020), with those in bold font either Australian Championship, International, AND/OR, events that are happening interstate that SA riders regularly attend – but as stated above – look for additions to each discipline going forward.

LEVI DAY – 2ND OVERALL IN THE DUCATI TRI OPTIONS CUP IN THE UK!

Filed Under: News, Road Racing

The 5th and final round of the Ducati Tri Options Cup was held at the Brands Hatch GP Circuit over the weekend. I love the GP circuit at Brands, it’s super fast and has some insanely scary blind corners.

I was going into the final round 26 points off the championship lead. Every race up until the final round I had finished 1st or 2nd, bar one race where I finished 12th, after running off the track and rejoining. I didn’t go into the final round thinking about the championship, as it was going to be a stretch, but my goal was to win both races and that would be all I could do, and then just see what happens from there!

Friday was a little damp for the first practice session but we collected some good information on how to move forward with the bike. We had qualifying on Friday afternoon and the improvements we made to the bike felt better and I managed to put it 2nd on the grid.

I was really looking forward to Saturdays 10 lap race. We had made a few more changes to the bike and was feeling confident. I didn’t get a great launch off the line, and was 5th into turn 1. I managed to get passed a couple of riders, and it took me until half way through lap two, to get passed Dijon Compton, who was sitting in 2nd place. By the end of lap 2 Josh Day had a 0.8 second lead on me, but for the next 3 laps I managed to close the gap to 0.25 of a second, setting the fastest lap of the race along the way. On lap 6, Josh’s quick shifter stopped working and he put his hand up, which allowed me passed. He managed to continue the race, and ride with out the quick shifter. When I lead a race I always ride my own pace, a famous quote I live by, from Australian Race Car Driver Jack Brabham, who used to say he would try and win at the slowest possible speed. If and when I get out in front in races, I only ever ride as fast as I need too, then if a rider feels like they can go quicker and they can pass me, I’m more than happy to get in a scrap and battle for the victory. If I’m not in front then I’ll put it all on the line to try and get there. We managed to hold off Josh to take victory in Race 1 and close the gap down a little, to 21 points. With only 1 race left, if meant Josh would have to get 11th or lower, and I would have to win the race. Josh hadn’t finished lower than 2nd all year, so I knew this would be a near impossible task, but I had to put it all on the line and obviously try my best to win.

Race 2 on Sunday was bright and early at 10:05am. I was starting from pole, due to setting the fastest lap of the race on Saturday. I got away well, but it was David Shoebridge who got the whole shot. I passed him off the back straight and led for the first few laps. Elliott Pinson then got passed me and he pulled half a second on me in a couple of laps. I got into a good rhythm and got my head back down, and managed to get back passed Elliot with 2 laps to go. I crossed the finish line with the win, 0.3 of a second ahead of Elliott, and set the fastest lap of the race in race 2 also. Josh played it smart as I knew he would, and rode around in 5th, which was all he had to do to secure the championship. It was a great way to end the year, winning both races at the final round!

I’m really proud of how our season went. If it wasn’t for the 12th place I had at the first round, then the final round could have had more to play for between Josh and myself. But it was a mistake of my own doing so only got myself to blame! I can hold my head high when I get beaten and there were times that I wasn’t the fastest rider on the day. But I’m proud of the races we had and to win 50% of the races, with the other 50% of the race wins going to the championship winner, is something I’m very proud of.

I can’t thank my wife Katie enough for all her support. For us as a family, away from the racing, it has been a very tough year. We have endured two miscarriages in the last 10 months and that has been a really difficult thing for us both. We also lost my Pop Max (who our son Max is named after), a few months ago, and were unable to say goodbye, as he was in Australia and due to Covid we were unable to get back. I would like to dedicate our seasons results, to my wife Katie, our angel babies and to my Pop Max, who was always a huge supporter of me following my dreams. I wore a special helmet this weekend to bring awareness to Baby Loss Awareness Month, and would like to give support to anyone else who has had to endure anything like this. Through all of this Katie has had my back 100% and has always been a hugely positive support to me, all the way through.

My team this year, Darren, Nigel and Paul. These guys worked tirelessly to give me a great bike all season and the results are a team effort from everyone involved. I did my job to the best of my ability and so did all my team, and I’m proud to have worked with them all. Our engine was never stripped all year, it never had the cams dialled in, or had the engine apart at all. Apart from oil changes the engine didn’t get looked at, at all. It’s a credit to Ducati for the build quality of the V2 and shows how good the engine is!

A big thank you to all the people who made this season possible. Mike and Maddie Green, from Boast Plumbing Supplies for supplying the Ducati V2 and all their help. My main sponsor, AJN Steelstock for the amazing support and Bathgate Group. With out these guys, our racing season wouldn’t have been possible, and I cant thank them all enough for allowing me to follow my dreams and continue this journey of racing. I am humbled but the support they give me, and not only are they great supporters of my racing, more importantly they are people Katie and I call dear friends!

And to our team partners:

  • Sublime Designs
  • Maxton Suspension
  • Motogear UK
  • X-Lite Helmets
  • Rock Oil
  • PDQ Precision Engineering
  • Motorcycle Fitness
  • R&G Protection
  • RST

Thank you all for the amazing support! Who knows what next year will bring yet, but I would like to step up, perhaps back in to SuperStock 1000 or something similar. I only had one season in stock 1000 and the depth of competition is absolutely world class in that championship, so I would love to have another crack at that if possible. But each year, if I get to go racing at all, it is a huge bonus, as I couldn’t do it without the support that my amazing sponsors give me. Thank you all for supporting me this year and roll on 2021!

Cheers,

Levi Day
