IT’S NO APRIL FOOLS!

SIDEWINDERS’ BIGGEST WEEKEND OF 2022 – THE AUSTRALIAN 12cc U16 AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP – GET AROUND SA’S SPEEDWAY sKIDZ!

The Sidewinders Under 16 Speedway Club are gearing up for their biggest weekend of sKidz in many years, as they are about to play host to the 2022 Australian Championships for Under 16’s on 125cc machines, and over 3 great nights racing at their 8^th Street, Wingfield venue.

The weekend will feature 2 Championships being decided, with Saturday night being the individual Championship, to decide Australia’s #1 King, or Queen, of 125cc junior sKidz, while Sunday will see which state will have bragging rights for the next 12 months, as 7 teams from around Australis will go head to head!

The 3 day Championship will run as follows;

Friday April 1; The 2022 Australian Speedway U/16’s 125cc Individual and Teams Championships kicks off at Sidewinders U16’s Club in South Australia on the 1st April with the morning Gate Draw followed by Official Practice day.

Saturday April 2; The Individual Championship will be run on Saturday (2nd April) over 20 heats with a B Final for the 4^th, 5^th, 6^th and 7^th point scorers after 20 heats. The final (A final) will be the top three-point scorers after 20 heats and the winner of the B final and they will ride off to decide the Australian Championship.

Sunday April 3; The following day (Sunday 3rd April), the Teams Championship will be run over 21 heats with 4 riders in each heat. No final will be run, as the final results are based on the points accumulated over the 21 heats. This Teams Championship is State vs State for the Australian Championship.

THE VENUE

Sidewinders Speedway looking down across Graham Baker Hill, one of the best viewing areas going around, with the all access canteen at far left, with the main entrance just to the right of the all access toilet block (red brick building), with the competitor pits to the right of the CBS Bins control tower, and competitors carpark and pit entry to the right of the pic.

Sidewinders Speedway is Australia’s only purpose built venue for junior speedway in Australia, and running the 2022 Australian Championship is just another chapter in a long and storied history, now over 40 years long, and stands as a testament to some amazing people, like the late Graham Baker and Roy Bitmead, who are now remembered with trophy events named in their memory.

The current members of the Sidewinders Club are going all out to put on a great Championship weekend at this all access venue, including toilets and canteen, with great viewing areas almost all of the way around the 112 metre track, and their brilliant canteen will be open across all 3 days, with a great selection of hot and cold food and drinks – and with a great value entry fee for adults, they are very much hoping for a ‘standing room only’ crowd to cheer on the local SA Speedway sKidz!

2022 AUSTRALIAN SPEEDWAY UNDER 16’s 125cc INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIP

South Australia will have 5 starters in the main field of 16 for the Individual Championship, and they will be led by the 2021 MSA Rising Star nominees, Ashley Jansen-Batchelor, Darcey Timmis and the Rising Star finalist for speedway, and current SA#1, Harry Sadler.

Ashley and Harry will go in as 2 of the riders most likely to be in the mix, and will be aiming to go straight through to the final, and if not, they should at least make the semi-final and will be the Croweaters to watch. Darcey, after her great ride at the Roy Bitmead will be aiming for a semi-final berth as well, where anything can happen, when winner takes all to get to the final.

They will be joined by the ever improving Kobi Canning and Jordan Hargreaves, who have both stepped up onto podiums this season, Kobi at the SA Championships, and Jordan most recently with a fine 2^nd behind Harry in the Roy Bitmead Memorial.

Interstate challenges will likely come from the New South Wales duo of Cooper Antone and Beau Bailey, with both already having visited the venue this summer to get some laps in – with Beau, along with Harry & Ashley, putting on quite the show at the SA Championships, where he split the South Aussie duo to finish 2^nd.

Word out of the West is that everyone may need to keep an eye on their duo of Mitchell McDiarmid and Linkin Metcalf, as they have been showing great form on their home tracks, as has Victorian Ambrose Fraser, who is also no stranger to the Sidewinders track.

2022 AUSTRALIAN SPEEDWAY UNDER 16’s 125cc TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIP

Apparently form says this Championship will be fought out between South Australia & New South Wales, with Western Australia and Victoria right there as well, if the favoured teams falter!

However, there has been many times over the history of teams racing where the less favoured team, or teams, have produced some great upsets, and this could well be another of those teams – especially as all of these riders will be backing up less than 12 hours after the end of the Individual Championship, bringing endurance and mental toughness into the equation, along with team work, skill and race craft.

Put simply, Sunday is going to be a day not to be missed, as the racing is likely to be as good, as fierce and as close as what Saturday night will be!

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT 12th MARCH – SHARE THIS AROUND, SPREAD THE WORD – THE BOB WHITE CUP FOR SENIOR & JUNIOR SIDECARS!

March 11, 2022 Filed Under: News, SA Women in Motorcycling, Speedway

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT 12th MARCH – SHARE THIS AROUND, SPREAD THE WORD – THE BOB WHITE CUP FOR SENIOR & JUNIOR SIDECARS!

This Saturday night will see the Speedway Riders Association pay tribute to a giant of the sport here in South Australia, and around Australia as well, with the running of the 2022 Bob White Cup at their brilliant Gillman venue. Once again a double event with the Cup on offer for both, junior and senior sidecars, the event has attracted a high quality field, and not least due to the Australian Senior Sidecar Championship fast approaching at the same venue – so this will be one of the last chances to cut some laps before it’s ‘serious time’!

Fantastic also to see 6 junior sidecars entered – and a second all-girl team, with Amelia Silvy & Tayla Lucas joining the Victorian team of Chloe Ackerley & Eva Whitworth – so good to see, especially with a few ‘2^nd generation’ names in the field, like Aussie Junior Champ Neische, and Headland & Gates!

So, chuck the deck chair in the boot, mark your spot on Graham Baker Hill, or in the Marker Brothers Grandstand and get a great feed from Gillman’s awesome canteen – and then sit back and watch some awesome 3 wheeled action! Go on, you know you wanna!

2022 ROY BITMEAD MEMORIAL – THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT SIDEWINDERS, THE FINAL HIT OUT BEFORE THE 125cc AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

February 28, 2022 Filed Under: Dirt Track, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, Speedway

ROY BITMEAD MEMORIAL – THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT SIDEWINDERS, THE FINAL HIT OUT BEFORE THE 125cc AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Nominations are now CLOSED for the 2022 ROY BITMEAD MEMORIAL, one of the iconic events held each summer at Sidewinders U16 Junior Speedway each summer – because the event is on THIS COMING Friday night – March 4!

The Memorial Shield honours Roy Bitmead, one of the Sidewinders originals who, along with Graham Baker, had the vision and foresight to build a stand-alone junior speedway track and club (Sidewinders) more than 40 years ago in Wingfield, and chances are the 2022 running will be another epic event in the history of the Shield!

And, as always, the Bitmead family will be on hand to pay tribute to their patriarch, and celebrate all he did, not only for his family, but for all generations of the Sidewinders family!

Gates Open; 6.00pm

Pit access; strictly 6.00pm – 7.00pm

Riders Briefing 7.15pm

Racing 7.30pm

Venue entry via the main gate:

Adults $5.00

Children U16 FREE.

Official Program $3.00

Canteen open all night

Canteen and facilities are both disabled accessible.
No smoking on the premises including the official car parking areas.
No alcohol is to be consumed on the premises.
Pit access to the public will close half hour prior to racing and will not be opened until at least 10 minutes after the last event. No pit entry to the public during interval.
No persons are permitted in the car parking area during the meeting.

So, chuck the deck chair in the boot, mark your spot on Graham Baker Hill and get a great feed from the Sidewinders awesome canteen – and then sit back and watch some awesome Speedway sKidz strut their stuff! Go on, you know you wanna!

And with the Under 16 125cc Australian Championship to be held on this same track over the weekend of April 1-3, this will be the last chance for our local riders to have a serious hit out before hand – so look for this to be a meeting of high quality and one not to miss!

The Australian Championships will be held over the first three days of April, with Practise & Qualifying on the Friday, the Individual Championship on Saturday and the Teams Championship on Sunday – it will be a serious weekend of awesome action from Australia’s finest junior riders – and could those present be watching a future World Champion in action!

SA RIDERS ROCKING THE ISLAND AT ROUND 1 OF ASBK 2022!

February 28, 2022 Filed Under: News, Road Racing, SA Women in Motorcycling

SA RIDERS ROCKING THE ISLAND AT ROUND 1 OF ASBK 2022!

SA’s road race crew certainly kicked off 2022 with some great results at round 1 of ASBK 2022 – the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul at the mecca of Australian Road Race, Phillip Island over the last weekend in February!

10 South Aussies, plus a truck load of team members, family members and supporters, made the trek, and if round 1 is anything to go by, there are a number of Croweaters that will challenge for podiums and race wins in 2022, and perhaps even an Australian Championship podium by seasons end.

And – as all, or most of our riders have social media pages, here are the ones that we know of so far, so check out their reports and thoughts on how their season has started!

RESULTS; https://www.computime.com.au/Default

Do just need to highlight a couple of amazing results though;

Cameron Rende – the 2021 MSA Rising Star nominee became the first South Aussie rider to score an Oceania Junior Cup race win, and now sits second in the Championship after the first round – and this was his first official round as a member of the Cup, his only previous rides were as a wildcard at The Bend last December at The Bend! HUGE CONGRATS CAM!

Olly Simpson – the 2012 MSA Rising Star had his first rides on a 600cc Supersport on the weekend and now sits 3rd in the Championships after a solid round, just in front of fellow South Aussie, Ty Lynch.

Dan Falzon – broken femur at the start of December at The Bend to sitting 5th in the Superbike Championship after round 1 some 3 months later – huge recovery from Dan, lets see what he can do with further recovery!

ROUND 2– QUEENSLAND RACEWAY 18-20 MARCH 2022 – get your live stream sorted – and word is there may be an extra South Aussie rider or 2 to cheer on from round 2 as well – so good to see so much excitement around our local riders in 2022 as they chase National goals!

TROY Series SA – round 1 & 2 ENTRIES – ARE NOW OPEN!

February 27, 2022 Filed Under: News, SA Women in Motorcycling, Trials

TROY Series SA – round 1 & 2 ENTRIES – ARE NOW OPEN!

Rounds 1 and 2 of TROY Series SA 2022 have now been opened on Ridernet, the AJS MTC’s Frank Tuck Trial at Victor Harbor on Sunday, April 10^th and the return of the Juventus MCC to TROY, with The Xtreme Trials Trial at a brand new venue at Mount Pleasant on Sunday May, 1^st.

And as has happened in previous years, there will be a gap after round 2, so a number of special events can happen – not least the AJS MTC’s iconic Peter Sparkes Trophy event and the Keyneton MCC’s Mountain Man Trial – being run this year as the SA Women’s Cup & Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy. Check out the full calendar below!

All events will have Saturday night camping available, contact the event contact on the sup regs (now available on the Motorcycling SA website) for the details, and what else will be offered in relation to each round – camping , catering, Saturday coaching, etc. These will be different at each round, so contact the organisers to be sure!

In regards to riding conditions and classes, there are not many changes to 2022 – but what has been changed should be good for the sport and numbers at events, and also help with our Clubs, and their members who organise the events and the paperwork for them!

TROY Series SA 2022 will once again be a 5 round series that will complement the AMX Superstores 2022 South Australian Trial Championships in September and will feature some of SA’s finest Trial’s terrain, with the 5 rounds for 2022 being;

R	Date	Club	Event	Address – of event
1	Sunday April 10	AJS Moto Trial Club of SA	The Frank Tuck Trial	3445 Range Road, Back Valley, via Victor Harbor
2	Sunday May 1	Juventus Motorcycle Club	The Xtreme Trials Trial	Pleasant Sense Farm, 736 Angas Rd, Mt Pleasant
3	Sunday July 31	Gawler Motorcycle Club	The Max Graetz Trial	Palmer Road, Tungkillo
4	Sunday August 14	Team H & AJS MTC of SA	The Woolshed Trial	Mungeree Homestead, 1173 Bridle Track, Bangor
5	Sunday August 28	Velocette Motorcycle Club	The Black Mud Trial	Ngapala Road, Willoughby Hills, via Robertstown

FIRST CHANGE FOR 2022 – TRIAL 6!

It has been decided that from 2022 there will be a new class added to all events – Trial 6 – which will be run over the black line and will be for those entering the sport and want to ride for reward (so not non-comp), and those senior riders (age) who just want to have a fun ride, but still test themselves without the Monday morning aches and pains.

So the full list of classes for 2022 are;

· GREEN	TRIAL 1
· RED	TRIAL 2	SIDECAR 1
· YELLOW	TRIAL 3	SIDECAR 2
· BLUE	TRIAL 4	HISTORIC BLUE
· WHITE	TRIAL 5	HISTORIC WHITE	JUNIOR A (boys & girls)
· BLACK	TRIAL 6	SIDECAR CLASSIC	JUNIOR B (boys & girls)
· ORANGE	NON COMP SOLO	NON COMP SIDECAR	MINI TRIAL

The colours listed above are also the line each class rides, with the green line being the most challenging, or for the expert riders, down to the black line for the novice riders, with orange being run of section for the newest of riders – so Trial is definitely the discipline that caters for riders of all ages and abilities.

Sidecar 1 & 2 also ride to separate red/white & black/yellow lines, not the single colour as listed above.

TROY Series SA classes will be as per previous years – and will combine some classes, with the lowest point score on the day getting the TROY points, with the classes being;

· RED	TRIAL 1 & TRIAL 2
· PINK	SENIOR WOMEN & JUNIOR GIRLS
· YELLOW	TRIAL 3
· BLUE	TRIAL 4
· WHITE	JUNIOR A & JUNIOR B
· BLACK & WHITE	TRIAL 5, TRIAL 6 & THE HISTORIC CLASSES
· RED & WHITE	SIDECAR 1, SIDECAR 2 & SIDECAR CLASSIC

SELF SCRUTINEERING;

Self-scrutineering will take place at ALL events in 2022 – with the self-scrutineering attached to all sup regs, as well as being separately emailed to all riders upon entry. Riders have to print off the form and bring it to sign on at events – no form, no ride! But, Scrutineers will still check up to 10% of all bikes, as well as ALL helmets.

ENTRIES FOR 2022!

Entries will be open at least 4 weeks before each round and will CLOSE at 11.00 pm on the Tuesday before each round, and only entries received through the Ridernet system will be accepted.

Late entries; MAY be accepted for an extra 24 hours, also through Ridernet, with a late fee of $20.00 per entry, so to 11.00pm Wednesday, as listed below.

ENTRIES CLOSE	LATE ENTRIES CLOSE
· Round 1 – Tuesday, April 5th	Wednesday, April 6th
· Round 2 – Tuesday April 26th	Wednesday, April 27th
· Round 3 – Tuesday, July 26th	Wednesday, July 27th
· Round 4 – Tuesday, August 9th	Wednesday, August 10th
· Round 5 – Tuesday, August 23rd	Wednesday, August 24th

This is a full 2 days earlier that what has happened in previous years, and has been designed to help clubs get their paperwork organised, as well as score cards and the scoring program, in plentiful time before their event.

And in some exciting early news for the Series, the AJS MTC have confirmed that the Frank Tuck Trial will once again have great support from the brilliant people at Scarpantoni Wines, and we thank Michael and his family for their continued support of trials in SA, and of the Frank Tuck!

The Series will also receive great support from Greg Knight and his Rockhopping SA crew – contact him now for all of your 2022 needs – or catch him at an event with his mobile showroom!
