JAMALKA OFF ROAD 360 2024 – BIGGER & BETTER THAN 2023? – YOU BET!

Filed Under: Enduro, News

The roar of engines returns to Tumby Bay for the highly anticipated second edition of the 2024 Jamalka 360 Desert Race, scheduled for this weekend from the 1st to the 3rd of March. Following the thrilling and action-packed events of 2023, enthusiasts have eagerly awaited the resurgence of the track, set to host bikes and buggies over two exhilarating days of racing and, of course, plenty of off-track entertainment suitable for the entire family. With participants journeying from all corners of Australia and excitement mounting for an even grander spectacle, let’s take a look at what’s in store across the weekend for the Jamalka 360 Desert Race in 2024.

For those that have made the trip down, spectator camping is available from Friday arvo, with toilets and showers available on-site, so set up your camp and settle in while the competitors commence their reconnaissance lap to kickstart a weekend of thrills and skills. 

Jamalka merch is available all weekend so everyone can take home that special piece of history, with T-shirts, hoodies, hats and all things Jamalka available to young and old, this will surely be a hot ticket item set to sell out. 

Saturday morning will be a great first taste with fans checking out the vehicles and motorcycles as competitors prepare to take off, but only after heading to the brilliant Jamalka Bistro, which will be serving food for the duration!

Once you have your favourite viewing spot, start the day right, with an egg and bacon roll, with their lunch menu kicking in from 10am and not forgetting dinner, which will be available until 8pm each night. 

The Shed’s bar will also be open from 12pm to 10pm each day, and all can head there and the big screen to watch LIVE go-pro racing action from the riders.

An impressive field of 100 senior riders, led by Finke Desert Race ‘legend’ and Dakar Rally finisher Ben Grabham, will all be pushing to the limit for the 2024 crown. Grabham is in exceptional form and determined to snatch the number 1 plate from last year’s inaugural ‘King of Jamalka,’ South Australia’s own Jay Simister!

The weekend’s excitement is further heightened by the inclusion of the Northern Territory pair, James Heenan and Luke Hayes, who are likely to have plenty of desert racing experience under their belts. Additionally, local talents like John Harkness (who secured 3rd place outright in 2023) and Clint Letton (a nearby resident) are expected to make their mark in both the class and overall results.

Added into this will be the quest to see who claims the Open Women’s crown, with Finke Desert Race finishers from 2023, Port Augusta’s Aimee Butler and Chloe Barton from Nuriootpa likely to lead the field, in yet another great stoush between these 2 close friends!

This year will also feature junior riders for the first time, aged 13-U16 years, who will kick-start a head-to-head race, with male and female riders competing in two 20-kilometre races over the weekend. 

Making their appearance for 2024, Port Lincoln locals, Caleb Churchett and Reef Halman are keen to take on riders from across SA, as well as NSW & Victoria, with 2023 MSA Rising Star Award nominee, Charlize Waldhuter, leading the Junior Girls charge!

Presentations will close off the weekend on Sunday arvo at 4:30 pm in The Shed if your trackside – so be sure to hang around and grab a selfie or two with the 2024 ‘Champions of Jamalka’, before heading home to rave to all your friends about what a great weekend you had just experienced – and that you can’t wait for the 2025 event!

Don’t fret if you’re not able to make the trip down to Tumby Bay, as you can keep up with all the desert racing action through the below socials and get your front-row seat to all the action as the 2024 Jamalka Off Road 360 is being broadcasted LIVE over Saturday and Sunday through their YouTube channel.

Results & Recap – 2024 Mi-Bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul Australia, Round 1

Filed Under: News, Road Racing

Joining in all the excitement of round 1 of the 2024 Superbike World Championships, the 35th-anniversary running of the Mi-Bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul Australia, made its 2024 debut at Phillip Island over the 23rd to the 25th of February. With plenty of returning faces, some South Aussies stepping up a class, and even an ASBK newcomer, this year’s Championship story is going to be one for the books.

Before delving into the results table and 2024 Championship round points overalls, let’s take a look at the memorable moments from the weekend.

Mi-Bike Insurance Australian Superbike Championship

What a fantastic ASBK premier class first-time outing for rookie and MSA 2018 Rising Star, Declan Carberry! Taking to the track for the first time on his new BMW ride, Declan looked as comfortable as ever, and in no time at all, he was down to business. He secured a hotly contested 15th finish in race 1 before achieving a new personal best in race 2 with a fantastic 13th place. Looking as composed as ever, he carried that momentum into a 16th-place finish in race 3. It was a great first outing, and we are sure to see some big things ahead for the young lad.

From the get-go, returning Superbike regular, Unitech Racing’s Arthur Sissis, was aiming to continue  2023’s charge, with new practice PBs regularly being set and qualifying just outside of the top 10. He was on track to make a statement. Unfortunately, race 1 would be a tough start with a DNF hampering his momentum, but shaking it off like the sportsman he is, we would see him come back to his pre-race form taking an 11th in race 2 by just .163 behind 10th spot and rounding out the weekend with a race 3, 12th-place finish.

After brushing off some challenging free practice sessions, Michael Kemp continued to set new personal bests in the premier class throughout his round 1 campaign. Race 1 would see plenty of back and forth for position between Adam Senior, Ryan Yanko, and Superbike newcomer Declan Carberry. Coming down to the line for a 20th in race 1, he would avoid the carnage of his competitors and go to secure those valuable early Championship points and round out the weekend with a solid 20th and 19th finish in races 2 & 3.

Michelin Supersport 600

After his 2023 SS600 Championship second-place overall finish, Olly Simpson picked up the pace set and returned to where he left off. Starting the weekend on the right foot, he qualified P2 with just a gap of 0.046 seconds between him and the top step, to then go on to take the podium honours with a scorecard of 3rd, 2nd, and 3rd. – An exceptional start for 2024 and hopefully not too far in the future we will see Simpson take the podium top spot.

Another rider to make a class move for 2024 would see Unitech Racing’s Sam Pezzetta join the stacked SS600 field with plenty of on-track battles throughout the weekend with Cooper Rowntree. Cooper picked up the valuable early Championship points with his weekend-best 19th finish for race 2. With only brief introductions to the new bike, Sam pushed hard all weekend and by the end looked to be going from strength to strength, reducing lap times and nearly securing those first Championship points for the season. We can’t wait to see what Sam can do in the races to come.

RACE and ROAD Supersport 300

As far as racing highlights go, none are quite as memorable and special as your first ASBK podium. After putting in the pre-season work, Tara Morrison blew the competition away. From qualifying 2nd to taking the learning curves of the weekend all in her stride, she would go from a race 1, 8th-place finish to a race 2, 5th-place finish, finally ticking off that bucket list goal and standing proud in P2 for her final outing of the weekend. To give a good idea of how tight racing was this weekend, much like most SS300 races, the top 9 riders were separated by just 1.289 seconds, with Tara a mere 0.012 of a second off that dream first ASBK top step.

The Championship round charges would continue for the remaining South Aussie contingent as the Simpson brothers Mitch and Jordy stayed in the top 10 field all weekend with Mitch walking into round 2 in 6th for the Championship from his 7 – 4 – 7 scorecard and Jordy 9th from his 6 – 9 – 9 finished.

Joining the front-pack battles & showing consistency throughout the weekend, Ryder Gilbert was making progress in improving his race 1, 12th place with an 8th in race 2; however, his weekend would finish with an unfortunate race 3 DNF with a crash on turn 10, last lap while vying in the front pack battle. Looking forward to seeing Ryder bounce back under lights in Sydney for round 2.

Rounding out the class and making his ASBK debut, Hudson Air has put himself on the 2024 ASBK SS300 points table. Qualifying just outside of the top 20 behind NSW Alexander Codey by .440 of a second margin, he would go on to hold his own in the fiercely contested racing taking out the 22nd spot in the first 2 races before cracking the top 20 with a race 3, 17th place finish – What a great first outing & we can’t wait to see Hudson returning throughout the season.

RUMBLINGS FROM THE GRAVE AT PORT PIRIE, OR RE-BUILDING THE LEGACY OF A BYGONE ERA!

Filed Under: News, Speedway

Motorcycling SA just spent the weekend of February 24 & 25 in the mid north of the state, running a level 1 Coaching Course at Crystal Brook, but on the Saturday evening, and with the blessing of Neil Burston, MSA took the chance to have a sneaky look at the works being done to an iconic piece of Motorcycling SA history, the Port Pirie Longtrack!

Entering the property (on foot) and walking past the Go-Kart circuit towards the track still circled by light towers long since having shone bright, relics of meetings past appear out of the saltbush, like the old ticket box, now without a roof, open to the elements and with saltbush growing inside and out, the old toilet block in the same state, as well as random machinery, having gone years untouched and now hard to see!

Getting closer, the track can now be seen, almost, now circled by the new rubber fence that has been mounted on the old posts, but before getting to see the track, you are confronted with the old ‘booth’ (bar) and canteen – and like the ticket box, they are both in a state of disrepair.

But – it’s certainly not hard to see the ghosts from the past, leaning on a fence, enjoying a brew while talking racing, during and at the end of the day, or seeing some excited kids race over to grab a pie with sauce or a snag in bread and then race back to the edge of the track to see the next race and not miss a second of the action.

The walk continued, past the original race control tower, already showing signs of re-birth and ready to oversee the action on the track when it returns, to the old pits, with its rusted fences barely keeping out the many rabbits that now call the place home.

Walking through the pits to the track gate, it’s not hard to hear the engines being warmed up and riders donning helmets for their next race around this iconic track, and when you walk through the gate and onto the track proper, you can see the amount of work that has been done and you can only applaud the drive that Neil and his team of volunteers have shown to revive this once great race track.

New surface and new fence, it makes you just feel the speed and the close racing that this track is going to produce once opened – and it’s only then how much you realise that the sport here in SA has, unknowingly, missed this venue, for nearly 30 odd years – and that once it opens, motorcycle racing fans are going the realise the same!

There is still a lot of work to go – but the pivotable part is now done from the walk around – the track and the safety wall – and it’s now just waiting to be raced on – and the signs are there that the back straight will be a place to watch, with dirt being bought in to raise the spectator areas above the new fence, making for prime viewing, plus, a brand new toilet block is now in the pit area.

So, whether its late in 2024, or perhaps early in 2025, when this icon of motorcycle sport in SA does once again ask for entries, and when the locals head deep into their burrows and the ghosts rise up to once again watch the action while sharing a brew, to use an old quote – “get your backside trackside”, rider, passenger or spectator, the trip to Port Pirie will be more than worth it!

For all of the need to know on how the rebirth of the Port Pirie Longtrack is coming along, head to their Facebook page to keep up to date: https://www.facebook.com/groups/248312968887547

4 NEW COACHES ON BOARD AFTER LEVEL 1 COURSE AT CRYSTAL BROOK IN FEBRUARY

Filed Under: All disciplines, News

Motorcycling SA welcomed 4 new Level 0 Coaches after a course was held at Crystal Brook over the weekend of February 24 & 25, with a huge thanks to the Crystal Brook Motorcycle Club for hosting the event.

The Mid North area now welcomes Duane Woolford and Andrew & Josh Whitehorn, while the South East welcomes Drew Hamilton to their coaching ranks, with all keen to get started and assist at a coaching day to get their practical hours logged so they can upgrade to level 1.

Well, we say 4 new coaches, but for the next 6 odd weeks it’s only 3, as 15 year old Josh Whitehorn still has to wait until he turns 16 to be able to be accredited.

Day 1 of the course consisted of the theory components of the course, finishing with a written exam, and lasted about 6 hours, with day 2 starting off with the ‘probie’ coaches putting together a lesson plan for the day, before getting out on track to put their plans into practise.

With 5 young students, the coaches ran them through a number of drills, starting off by getting them to scrutineer their own bikes and gear (with mum and/or dad helping) before jumping on their bikes where they were put through starts, braking (front and rear), weaving through cones, cornering techniques, riding techniques (sitting and standing), before finishing off with a couple of ‘slow races’, which really made the young riders work on their balance, and clutch and brake control.

After that the kids were put through some ‘warm down’ exercises before all enjoying a zooper dooper (thanks Jen) and some lunch!

Huge thanks to all of the parents who gave up a Sunday so their future champions could be put through their paces, as much as the coaches were – awesome to see some raw talent coming through from this area of SA!

Motorcycling SA is now looking at offering another regional Level 1 Coaches Course, with Keith the possible destination, and will also schedule one on the metro area later in the year to continue to increase the number of coaches available, both in regional and metro areas.

Any queries regarding attending a Level 1 Coaches Course, please call the MSA Office on 8332 9000, Monday to Friday, during business hours.

If you wish to register your interest, you can do so through the coaching page on the MSA website: www.motorcyclingsa.org.au/coaches-and-officials/license/ and MSA will be in touch.

This course is fully supported and recognised by Motorcycling Australia, Sport Aus and the Australian Institute of Sport – and is suitable for ALL disciplines of the sport – ATV (Quads), Dirt Track, Enduro, Motocross, Reliability Trial, Road Race, Speedway and Trial.

REQUIREMENTS TO GET YOUR LEVEL 1 AS THEY STAND AT THE MOMENT:

  • Be a minimum of 16 years of age. **If you are 15 years and would like to do the course, this can be done, however, you will only be able to assist until you turn 16 and the creds can then be added to your Ridernet profile.
  • Have at least 2 years practical experience in motorcycle competition as a competitor or official and have sound knowledge of motorcycling riding skills.
  • A working with Children Screening Check is mandatory, which can be initiated by MSA, at no cost to you as you would be a volunteer.

  • Complete the online Sport Australia ‘Community Coaching – Essential Skills Course’ The link to this is on the coaching page of the MSA website. 
  • Have completed at least 20 hours of ‘Sports Specific Tasks’, and have logged this with the MSA Office, or on your Ridernet profile.
    • The following are suitable activities:
      • Present or lecture at future courses
      • Attend Training Camps (this one qualifies)
      • Conduct some practical club coaching alongside a current coach.

AND LEVEL 1 COACHES CAN:

  • Can coach a maximum of six people at a time, unless with a Level 2 Coach where they can then coach up to ten people at a time.

Filed Under: News, Speedway

This coming Saturday, the 24th of February, sees sidecar talent from across Australia coming together at Gillman for the 2024 Safe Fire Electrical South Australian Sidecar Championship, presented by the Speedway Riders Association of SA.

Fans, soaking up the heart-stopping sidecar action, will be guaranteed to get a little extra bang for their buck, with Gillman deciding to add an SA Division 2 Sidecar Championship for the riders who don’t qualify for the Safe Fire Electrical main show.

Adding to the anticipation of the night’s action, the MSA Speedway Sports Manager has notified that the qualifying process of the night will involve 23 teams on the night, who will have two one-lap time trials to qualify for the main event and join the four seeded riders, the top four from last year’s Championships being fully seeded.

As of the 19th of February, last year’s Safe Fire Electrical South Australian Sidecar Championship duo, Mark Plaisted/Ben Pitt, are back fresh from their last successful outing in 2024, having won the Bowes Family Sidecar Cup, put them as a pair to watch. Can they add another SA Speedway Sidecar Championship Title to their impressive trophy shelf? Joining them registered from 2023’s top 4, are third-place finishers Nate Headland/Jaxon Rayner, fourth-place finishers Mark Mitchell/Tony Carter and Mick Headland/Jesse Headland, who will be all geared up for the night.

Adding to the mix of talent on the track, former Australian Sidecar Champion Trent Headland and SA former Championship Winner Dave Bottrell will be joining the fray. You’re not going to want to miss a second of the 2024 SA Sidecar Championship story.

As usual, the SA Sidecar Championship will follow, with 16 riders competing over the 20 heats and a semi-final offering one last chance to enter the Main finals. This will leave 11 riders to battle it out in the Division 2 Championship. Following the same format, riders will compete in a semi-final and final at the end of their heats.

For everyone already planning their day of wrangling kids and packing cars, gates will open at 2 pm, and qualifying will start at 4 pm. The Championships will begin at the regularly programmed time of 7 pm.

Tickets can be purchased at the gate on the night for Adults – $25, Student/Concession – $20 & Children U16 free. Adding to the savings, parking is free, and if you purchase a $5 program, you will be entered into a draw for 2 chances to win a $50 fuel voucher.

RESULTS – 2024 CLYDE MUNDY MEMORIAL IS DECIDED AT SIDEWINDERS U16 SPEEDWAY CLUB

Filed Under: News, Speedway

After a short break, Sidewinders U16 Speedway Club returned to action last Saturday, February 10th, for the 2024 Clyde Mundy Memorial. A competitive field of 7 junior speedway talents took to the track with hopes of claiming the Clyde Mundy Memorial Honors for 2024.

Riders fought it out over 10 heats of intense racing, as junior speedway racing fans made the most of the cooler evening weather. At the end of the heats, the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th highest point scorers came together in the Semi-Finals to determine who would get that last spot in the Main Final.

Unfortunately, Hayden Matthews was unable to start the semi-final, leaving William Nicol, Hayden Kuchel, and Owen Chapman to race it out between them. Hayden Kuchel seized the opportunity and advanced to the final, joining Blake Schlien, Connor Machin, and Riley Stout.

In the end, it was Blake Schlein’s night, as he clinched the A Main Final win, followed by Riley Stout, Connor Machin, and Hayden Kuchel.

Alongside this thrilling action, 14 up-and-coming novice and non-competition riders showcased their talent, providing a glimpse of the South Australian talent pool that will make an entrance into the competition world in the coming years.
