PRESS RELEASE – SAMX KICKS OFF FOR A MASSIVE 2023

May 2, 2023 Filed Under: Motocross, News, SAMX Championship

The dreary weather couldn’t hold off the fast-paced racing action heating up on the track, as SAMX Round 1 kicked off over the weekend of 29th and 30th April 2023. Motocross Riders Association hosted the packed event at the Gillman MX track and boy did they put on a great show. With work well underway for the upcoming Round 5 of the PROMX on the 28th of April, MRA wanted to ensure this was a perfect preview into the exceptional racing ahead.

From the get-go, entries were strong and in the end, we had the pleasure of seeing 257 riders start their Championship series battle over the weekend with 12 future stars of our sport also, getting out in front of the crowds to ride the 50cc Demo 4 class. With racing for round 1 being this tight, we can only imagine the points battles in store for us ahead. So far we have seen old champions return and go head to head with new points leaders and potential 2023 champions stepping up.

Below are the top 10 results for each class (full breakdown of results and timing can be found HERE)

2023 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS – DATE CHANGES!

May 1, 2023 Filed Under: Enduro, Motocross, News, Reliability, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAORC, State Championship

Due to many reasons, and mainly due to Enduro not having a Sports Manager at present to coordinate the Championships or the discipline, with Wes Haydon no longer available to do it, as well as things like land availability, once again there have had to be date changes to the 2023 SA Off Road Championships, with the 2023 Championship now looking as per the rounds listed below.

Over the next week as it gets close to entries opening for rounds 1 and 2, MSA will release the 2023 Championship sponsors, as well as the supplementary regulations for the 2023 Championship.

Motorcycling South Australia would specifically like to thank the organising clubs for making the 2023 Championship possible, as all had originally decided to have a year off to recharge their members, but when it seriously looked like there wouldn’t be a Championship in 2023, all decided that they would put up their hands to make it happen.

The Keyneton MCC are now running back to back AORC rounds, after running a round in 2022, as the final 2 rounds of SAORC will also be rounds 7 & 8 of the 2023 AORC, and along with Keith & Districts, will also be opening up some new land to the Championship in 2023, while Juventus will be heading out of the forest for the first time in many years, to the Adelaide Hills and ACUSA Park.
