What will, at this stage, be a dry journey for the 130+ starters, sees a 2 lap journey of 3 hours each, with the first section, just around the corner from Main Control, being an awesome spectator area, at a local’s personal motocross track. So, come to Main Control in the morning, grab breakfast from the local community catering crew, then a program and directions to the spectator area and head out to watch some awesome action!

20+ sidecars will lead the field the away, followed by the Expert solos, old bikes, ladies and then the Clubman and aged classes – with lap 2 staring at 12.01pm for a 3.00pm finish for bike 1.

As mentioned above, the local Sedan Community Group will be catering the event all day, so please get around them and support their efforts, and especially as some are also our fabulous land owners, without whom those events couldn’t run!

The Keyneton MCC would like to thank all who are making this event happen – especially all of the control keepers who will be sitting out in the dust – and a big shout out to BAROSSA MOTORCYCLES in Nuriootpa for their continued support of the Club.

The SART Committee would like to thank MOBILITY SA, CBS BINS, ECO WASTE SOLUTIONS, BAROSSA 4X4 & OUTDOORS and PETER HENNEKAM’S SKETCHOGRAF for their great support of this SA Championship Series.

SA WOMEN’S CUP & DIENER/HOLMES SIDECAR TROPHY HEAD UP A HUGE WEEKEND!

SA WOMEN’S CUP & DIENER/HOLMES SIDECAR TROPHY HEAD UP A HUGE WEEKEND!

The first event in SA motorcycling history to have the girls and women headline the event, the Rockhopping SA 2021 SA Women’s Cup & Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy for Trial, hosted by the Keyneton MCC headline a huge weekend of action, across many disciplines of the sport.

Being run on Long Gully Road at Angaston from 9.00am Sunday, this event also features free entry for spectators, who will be able to wander around between the sections and watch some of SA’s awesome trials talent.

Leading the way is current Australia #2 (2019) in Open Women and Junior Women U13, Lillie Yiatrou and Charlotte Cowan, with Lillie also a 2 time Australian representative, and the reigning MSA Rising Star. Also in the field is 2018 Australian U13 Champion, Alisha Harry and Under 11 #1 from 2019, Ashley Barwick, again showing how much SA leads the country in Junior Women.

And due to the nature of Trial, and only 1 bike on the course (section) at one time, juniors can compete in senior classes in direct competition, with the Sport Women (formally C Grade) Class being made up of all junior riders, Charlotte, Alisha and Hayley Stephen.

At the other end of the field, look for the Long sisters, Chelsea & Cadance, both riding in Junior B Girls in their first SA Women’s Cup in 2021, and with dad, Aaron, and grandfather, David, also in the field, it shows that Trial is very much a family affair!

The Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy will also feature a number of female passengers, led by 2016 Australian Champion, Melissa Rogers, onboard with Steve Rees, the very team that won the Australian Championship in 2016. Look out also for the husband & wife team of Adrian & Tanya Harry, and the father & daughter team of Greg & Anna Rogers (who are having their first ride together).

There will also be a full field of support classes in action, led by Trial 1 riders, and Australian Champions, Connor Hogan (and Trial2 World Championship competitor & multi time Australian representative) and Haydon Barwick, along with juniors Hayden Eardley (2018 U13 Australian Champion) and Carl Henschke taking it on in the senior classes, and a heap of junior riders in action as well – there will be something for everyone to watch!

Although there is free entry for spectators, there is no catering for this event, so bring a picnic lunch and sit under one of the many gum trees to watch the action.

The event will also be preceded by a Come & Try Day on the Saturday – at the same venue – from 10.00am to 4.00pm, mainly for the girls and women, but open to all.

ALSO ON – MOTOCROSS, SIDECAR-CROSS, ENDURO, ROAD RACE, ACUSA PARK, RIDE PARKS – IT’S ALL HAPPENING

SART ROUND 1 HEADLINES ANOTHER BIG WEEKEND OF ACTION!

This weekend, tomorrow in fact, sees the 7 round South Australian Reliability Trials Championship kick into gear with the traditional ‘season opener’, the Gawler MCC’s Philip Haydon Reliability Trial, taking place out from the Marrabel Rodeo Grounds, with the first bike due to leave at 1.01pm, for a 2 lap, 6 hour-ish journey around the region, and with the final timed section to take place at the Rodeo Grounds, there will be action a-plenty without having to leave Main Control!

Round 1 sees 135 entries received, which coming out of the COVID year of 2020 is a great recovery, with the 22 sidecar entries leading the field away. And it’s a high quality field as well for the Series opener, led by Adam Wright, Damien Jenke and the evergreen, Rowan Pumpa in the outright solo battle to join the Philip Haydon honour roll!

The sidecars are also high quality, with multiple 24 Hour Trial winners, Max & Sam Hutchesson, Mark Launer & Tyson Rohrlach, Shane ‘Crash’ Schiller (with Adrian Rohrlach) and Hector Evans (with Shaun Buckley) leading the way!

The event is being fully catered by an amazing team led by Janet Hazel, who is doing it as an awesome fundraiser for the Kapunda High School Foundation, which helps disadvantaged students, so get behind it and grab some great food for a great cause!

Live timing will also be available at this event, head to www.sartchampionship.com, and also grab an event program at Main Control to get the riders list and directions to the spectator areas!

And here is the official welcome from Aaron Seifert, the president of the Gawler Motorcycle Club;

On behalf of the Gawler Motorcycle Club, I would like to welcome everyone to the 43rd running of the Phillip Haydon Reliability trial. After 42 consecutive years of our trial, last year’s event had to be cancelled due to some crazy virus getting in the way. We have picked up from last year’s event by running out of the Marrabel Rodeo Grounds.

We are now living in a new normal so please log into our QR codes, observe COVID safe practice where possible and follow our spectator guidelines.

The SA Reliability Trials Championship series would not be possible without generous landowners allowing us the ride their paddocks. We would like to thank Peter Dorrington, Greg Hampel, Nathen Rowett, Colin Menadue, Brendon Teague, Mark, Tim and Tony Prior, Ian Williams, Harvey and Sheryl Murray, Jim McInerney, James Huppatz, Peter Shulz and Mark Newmaan, who are our generous landowners. Also, thanks to Nathen Rowett and Luke Shulz for their involvement in the stage at the rodeo grounds which will be a high light for the spectators come the final stage at night.

A special thank you to Janet Hazel and her crew in the canteen, 100% of the takings are going to the Kapunda High School Foundation helping disadvantaged students. We have three spectator viewing areas this year, two of which are out on course and the final is at the rodeo grounds. We ask that everybody respects the wishes of the landowners by only leaving footprints and take all rubbish with you. Please use gates as entry to the properties and DO NOT RETURN TO RIDE.

Our event would not be possible without our huge team of volunteers. So as a rider if you see someone working hard to make things happen for the event go up and thank them, it might just bring you some good luck. A HUGE THANK YOU goes to all involved in making this event a possibility.

The Clare & Gilbert Valley have generously allowed us to run an event with the use of their dirt roads so please respect all road rules and speed signs. We need to thank First Care for keeping us safe and ACRM for their ongoing support with event communications.

Have a safe and enjoyable ride and here is hoping you can make it to the finish line. After the event stay around and enjoy the warmth of the fire whilst enjoying our fine food and refreshments.

Cheers, Anton Seifert

AND – LOOKING AHEAD TO ANZAC WEEKEND!!

With only 9 days until the gate drops at round 1 of the SAMX CHAMPIONSHIPS we are so pumped to have the Full Factory Honda Racing team announce they will be here for round 1 at MRA.

Brett Metcalfe, Kirk Gibbs, Kyle Webster and Benny Novak are confirmed for the round 1 Anzac Day bonanza to really set up some of the finest quality racing we will see at State level competition.

Throw in the fact Alex Larwood is also returning to home soil and after a taste of the big stage last week with a breakout debut crunching a 2nd OA at his first senior MX2 National race Alex will be as focussed as ever to get on that top step around the Gilman track where he’s spent so many hours as a junior racing and training.

The soil is the same but the track is a new layout and the club has utilised the land with this circuit a smidge under 2km, lending itself to plenty of passing opportunities and improved spectator viewing.

The scene is set SOUTH AUSTRALIA ..
