EAGLES TRAILERS, CAMPERS & CARAVANS 2022 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS AND 2022 EP SERIES VENUES RELEASED!

Motorcycling South Australia, along with the Motocross Sports Manager and the SA Motocross Panel are excited to announce the venues for the 2022 Eagles Trailers, Campers & Caravans 2022 South Australian Motocross Championships, which are also presented by AMX Superstores.

The 4 round Championship will start at Gillman at the end of April and finish at Andy Caldecott Park in Keith at the end of August, with round 2 to be held in the Riverland at Renmark, with round 3 heading, for the first time in many years, to Port Pirie, which is also home to the King of the Gulf meeting at Easter (for those who want to pre-ride the track!)

With the rounds now released, the program of events will follow early in 2022, but rest assured there will be some exciting changes coming to the formats, with the emphasis being put into giving ALL competitors great value for money, and an exciting series of Championship racing to decide who the 2022 South Australian Champions will be!

Yes, it is only a 4 round Championship – but – with June & early July swamped with major events like the Finke & Hattah Desert Races, it was almost impossible to schedule a round – but it does give our riders the chance to ride a National event and see how they go!

What can be teased here is this; multiple class entering will, not only be allowed, but will be encouraged across almost ALL classes – so just about every rider will be able to enter at least 2 classes in 2022 (where age and gradings allow) – and those who can’t will be racing for a bit longer in each race!

Has that whetted your appetite??

Well, wait until early 2022 to get ALL the info on an improving and evolving South Australian Championship in motocross! 

Also attached here are the dates and venues for the 2022 EP Series – the 14th Eyre Peninsula Motocross Series – ‘Wild West’ Motocross at its Best! 

Once again the EP Series will be a four round Series to decide the best in the west – with visits to Port Lincoln, Ceduna, Whyalla and Kimba – and with 3 of the rounds to be held BEFORE the opening round of the 2022 Eagles Trailers, Campers & Caravans 2022 South Australian Motocross Championships, presented by AMX Superstores, so there is ample chances to get some pre Championship racing in!

And with a planned possible return to the West in 2023 for a round of the SA Motocross Championships – this is an ideal chance to ride these tracks and get a feel for Eyre Peninsula dirt!

 

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WOMENS TEAM TO THE A4DE – EXPRESSION OF INTEREST!

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WOMENS TEAM TO THE A4DE – EXPRESSION OF INTEREST!

The South Australian Enduro (Off Road) Committee are looking to send a full contingent of official STATE TEAMS to the 2021 Australian 4 Day Enduro Championships, to be held in Victoria from May 4th to 7th, at Erica.

So, the SA Enduro Committee would like, for the very first time ever, to include a Women’s Team as part of Team SA, so is asking for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to be lodged with the Enduro Sports Manager, Wes Haydon, before the end of 2021 (December 31) – so if you would like to be a part of SA Off Road history, and the three (3) rider team, please send an EOI to; saorc@motorcyclingsa.org.au 

 
Become a part of SA Off Road history, and look to perhaps join the long list of women who have pulled on the green & gold at the ISDE – where Australia are multi-time Women’s World Champions – the dream is real! 

From MA about the event:

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is proud to announce that the Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) is back on the calendar for 2022 where it will be hosted by Victoria’s Dandenong Motorcycle Club at Erica.

Scheduled to be held May 4-7, 2022 the Championship returns to Victoria where it was last hosted in Mansfield back in 2016.

Conceived in 1978, the A4DE is renowned nationally for its fierce competition, as the riders tackle all elements of the off-road terrain over 3 days of traditional enduro battling against the clock and finishing off on day 4 with a spectacular final Motocross.

The Erica location will provide the perfect landscape for the highly anticipated event as it did back in 1987 when it was first hosted in the town. The event will include excellent spectator vantage points, plus easy access from the township.

With the 2022 A4DE to head back to Erica, Frank Gogol of the Dandenong Motorcycle Club commented:

“Many older Enduro enthusiasts will have fond memories of the 1987 A4DE at Erica with the Park Ferme on the edge of the State Forest that contains epic enduro trails in typical Victorian heavily treed gum forests. With the event scheduled for May, the trail conditions should be prime.”

“With the assistance of DELWP (Forests Vic) and Parks Victoria the trails have been approved for use and are vast within the surrounding State Forests. Long trail loops planned with the Park Ferme at the hub of the expansive trail network.

This event will create a significant economic benefit to the surrounding towns, bringing hundreds of competitors, officials and supporters to the region during the four-day event.

E-50 MACHINES IN THE 2022 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Filed Under: Motocross, News, SAMX Championship

E-50 MACHINES IN THE 2022 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS

In 2021 the SAMX Panel were granted the opportunity to include the E-50 machines in the South Australian Motocross Championships within the current 7-U9 50cc class for 5 rounds of the Championship.

On a detailed review of the series by the SAMX Panel it is the decision, with full support of MA, to re-align our Championship Supp Regs to reflect that of the National Bulletin Information which doesn’t include these machines for State and National Competition. 

With this decision,  Electric bikes will NOT be able to enter in ANY competitive class of the 2022 South Australian Motocross Championships.

(Bulletin #2002 16/12/2019)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Vp9f27tsJH0PTLea8f9lWgYNjYvAzzkz

However, it is imperative that we continue to encourage these machines to be competing at Club and Interclub competition and certainly support the use of these machines at any Ride Parks Australia event and Ride Days to encourage the grassroots development of these machines in our industry.

Yours in Motocross
