RESULTS – ROCKHOPPING SA 2023 SA WOMEN’S CUP & DIENER/HOLMES SIDECAR TROPHY

Filed Under: News, SA Women in Motorcycling, Trials

Last Sunday the 18 of June, Keyneton MCC’s 15th annual Rockhopping SA 2023 SA Women’s Cup & Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy was held in the picturesque Eden Valley. Greeting solos sidecars and spectators, stood a 10-section course, with many obstacles not ridden for years.

Easy-to-access sections allowed spectators make the most of the weekend and of course, to make it complete, team Hogan kept everyone well-fed with a sausage sizzle lunch, raising funds for the Aussie TdN Team.

With Lillie Yiatrou currently overseas, the battle of the weekend was taken up by the next generation of riders. Teenagers Alisha Harry, Hayley Stephen and Ashley Barwick competed in the senior classes and with each having their sights firmly set on that outright win, it came together for a great day of trial riding.

Showing the future of female trial riding is in good hands. Juniors Lucy Cowan and the Long sisters, Chelsea & Cadance set a great standard of riding all weekend.

Getting ready for this year’s Australian Trial Championships former Australian Champ, Melissa Paunola teamed up as passenger for Steve Rees to have a crack and take out Sidecar 1 for Rockhopping SA’s 2023 Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy.

RESULTS – 2023 SART CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 3 : THE LEW JOB 2 DAY TRIAL

Filed Under: News

Robertstown was a buzz over the 10th and 11th of June with Velocette MCC presenting round 3 of the 2023 SART Championships, the Lew Job 2-Day Reliability Trial. Continuing the June long weekend tradition, “Robbie” warmly welcomed riders, families and friends from all over SA, for a weekend of special memories, great food and of course Reliability Trial riding.  

 

Spectators braving the chilly conditions were well taken well care of, with the Southern Saints football and social club providing hot egg and bacon rolls, coffee and of course, who could forget, plenty of Mutton & gravy rolls. There wasn’t a single person left wanting by the end of the weekend.

 

A course of approximately 85km in length kept riders on their toes and tested their endurance with varying conditions ranging from mud, right through to loamy dust for the 2-day Reliability Trial challenge. Saturday greeted riders with a 2-lap day/night format and Sunday brought them over the line with 2 laps throughout the daytime.

 

 

Fresh off his 2023 Australian Off-Road Champions and the Australian 4 Day Enduro campaigns, Cooper Sheidow showed why the young gun is one of South Australia’s off-road racings leading talents. Riding extremely consistent and fast he took out P1 overall with a sizeable 7 minute and 41 second gap. Zack Tremaine managed to hold off a flying Rowan Pumpa and charged home for P2, with only a 1 minute 18 second gap between them.

Open sidecar racing was certainly not without upsets. Dynamic duo Shaun Blenkiron and Nathan Saegenschnitter had their sights set on claiming P1 for the round after leading lap 1 and a second off fastest for lap 2. However it wasn’t meant to be when a broken chain during lap 3 set them back and even with a fastest finish time on lap 4 saw them finish the weekend in 5th place overall. 

Taking the opportunity and riding exceptionally consistent, Daniel Plowman and Bradley Brook took P1 by a mere 30-second lead ahead of Bradley Manuel and Ashley Ball. Rounding out the top 3, Shane Beckmann /Adam Brook finished 4 minutes and 15 seconds off P2.

The SART 2023 Championship continues August 12, with the ‘Gil Harris’ Trial (formerly the ‘Theo Nixon’ Trial) hosted by Levis Club in the Mallala region. Stay tuned to the MSA website and socials for more information as this next event approaches.

 

Provisional open solo and sidecar results are below, with details and results by class available on the SART website HERE. (Note these results are provisional for 7 days for competitors to review, the results will be published as final on the Round Results page from Midnight Saturday June 17th 2023).

RESULTS AND REPORT – 2023 bLU cRU SA JUNIOR CUP ROUND 2 RECAP BY XAYVION AMOY

Filed Under: News, Road Racing, SA Junior Cup

Last weekend in between some questionable weather from every season, Levis MCC hosted Round 2 of the 2023 bLU cRU SA Junior Cup at the Go Kart Club of SA in Monarto.

Sitting second in the 2023 bLU cRU Junior Cup standings, Xayvion Amoy was keen to take on every opportunity to continue his points standing for the year and with the stiff competition in packed fields, racing both bLU cRU SA Junior Cup and Junior 11-U16, he was set for a big weekend on the bikes.

Xayvion shared his race report for the weekend –

Saturday:

First up was practice which I was pretty stoked about considering Dad said that there was no practice, but there was! During practice, it was about getting into the groove and getting warmed up. I felt like I had a pretty good practice weekend at Monarto at the start of the year so I was feeling good. I immediately compared the practice weekend and the first practice session, I could 110% feel the difference out of the corners thanks to Lee’s Spot on Motorcycles after they tuned up my bike, it felt so good! Runs like butter. The only trouble I was having in practice was braking, I’m not really feeling it with those brakes on my junior bike but I managed to get over it and pushed those braking markers back. In bLU cRU I felt amazing! The braking on those bikes feels really nice which is a bit funny considering all the other boys don’t really like their bLU cRU brakes. But I felt good so I’m happy. By the last practice session in bLU cRU I felt really good, it was like I just rode the track the day before. In qualifying I went really good on my junior bike, I was feeling quick and got my times up there, I ended up qualifying 3rd which I was happy about. In bLU cRU I was still feeling good and felt quick. I was pushing it but man those other boys were confident especially Lucas Warren #995 Racing , he was like a jack-in-a-box. He just pounced out of nowhere and was riding crazy good, great work dude! In bLU cRU I ended up qualifying 6th, which was a bit disappointing but I was determined to get those starts on point.

Sunday:

It was race day, I was pretty pumped and confident to got those starts. First off was juniors and because the kart starting grids are side by side and directly behind I found it pretty awkward. I came up with a strategy and it worked! Threaded the needle between Lucas and Jai, got that start perfect for an amazing whole shot into first position, I kept that first place for the first few laps then Lucas made a dive on me, I was still very happy with second so I just focused on defending (Lucas absolutely gapped me). In bLU cRU I got a good start from sixth, I didn’t really get that first corner on point but I managed to keep that sixth and in a few other bLU cRU races I managed to get some fifths. Overall I did better in the junior 160cc class and managed to leave with a 2nd place trophy.

Just wanted to mention OH MY GOODNESS JAI, THAT SAVE WAS CRAZY!!! YOUR FRONT END WAS PRETTY WELL LOCKED UP, THE BIKE WAS UPRIGHT BUT YOU STILL HAD YOUR KNEE ON THE FLOOR, THAT WAS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Tailem Bend Motorsport Accommodation for the overnight stay. Thanks to Willy Strugnell for sharing pits and generators and thanks to Kym, Allan, Chris and Andy for all the bLU cRU support. A great weekend by Levis MCC at The Go Kart Club of SA .

THE JUNE LONG WEEKEND – ‘ROBBIE’ GETS COOKING FOR THE LEW JOB 2 DAY RELIABILITY TRIAL & OF COURSE MUTTON & GRAVY ROLLS!

Filed Under: News, Reliability

THE JUNE LONG WEEKEND – MEANS A TRIP TO ’ROBBIE’ FOR A MUTTON & GRAVY ROLL – AND THE LEW JOB 2 DAY RELIABILITY TRIAL!

It’s finally here for another year, this June Long Weekend, Saturday & Sunday, the 10th & 11th, sees round 3 of the 2023 South Australian Reliability Trials Championships continue the story for 2023. There’s no better place to be with riders set to take on some of SA Reliability Trials most iconic sections this weekend and best of all as always.. free entry for spectators!! 

Entry List:

Leading the charge out to kick off the weekend will be Ian Kakoschke kicking off the weekend, followed by a stacked field of 105 riders. Rowan Pumpa is back after his Round 2 Expert Solo second place finish, with his sights firmly set on that top spot ahead of the weekend. We are looking forward to seeing sidecar duo Bradley Manuel / Ashley Ball continue their 2023 championship campaign with another top 3 (or even first place finish) but with a strong field of 20 Expert sidecars entered it’s really anyone’s race. 

Kristy Schultz will be teaming up with  Stuart Gerhardy to continue her winning streak in Sidecar Ladies All Powers but they will have stiff competition with teams Caroline Wilksch / Natasha Sky and Elouise Dohse / Tianna Dohse hot on their heels. 

Check out the full entry list – HERE.

Where:

Continuing the tradition as always the Lew Job Reliability Trial – the Robbie 2-Day – will be starting from the Robertstown Oval at Robertstown in the state’s mid north! (Google maps here).

With a huge long weekend ahead, riders and spectators are in for a treat. The course is approx. 85km and approx 3 hrs per lap and will cover a variety of terrain, Saturday will be 2 laps with day and night riding, and Sunday will be 2 laps daylight riding only. The classes will be in order of Clubman solo, Expert solo, Expert s/car, Clubman s/car.

Of course the 2 main reasons riders head to ‘Robbie’ each and every year to ride the Velocette MCC’s 2-Day Classic;

  • The 4 runs up Misery Creek that will keep riders on their toes and testing abilities. 
  • The Mutton & gravy rolls at ‘Robbie’ Oval, run by the local community and always a great feed!

 

When:

Giving everyone a bit of a chance for a sneaky sleep in before getting their spectator spot, the first rider will leave main control at 1.01 pm on Saturday. For competitors there will be a compulsory briefing on Saturday at approx. at 12.15 pm. The first rider will leave main control at 9.01am on Sunday.

 

Catering and Camping:

Come along, support and enjoy the local hospitality and atmosphere, full catering and licensed facilities will be available all weekend thanks to the volunteers from the Southern Saints football and social club. Camping for the weekend is welcomed & encouraged anywhere within the football oval grounds, toilet facilities available.

RESULTS – ROUND 2, 2023 SART CHAMPIONSHIP

Filed Under: News, Reliability

Round 2 of the 2023 SA Reliability Trials Championships – Mike Connors Trial came to  Keyneton last Saturday 27th May, presented by the Keyneton MCC to continue this year’s Championship story. With 160 riders taking on a course of 2 laps, with around  6-8 hours of riding time, there was no shortage of excitement felt in control as riders set off for the long day ahead of them in some pretty drizzly conditions. 

Keyneton Progress Association kept spectators, riders and teammates all well-fed from the get-go, right through to the finish and the Keyneton MCC made sure thirsts were quenched and rain wouldn’t stop the festivities, with their bar running throughout the afternoon. The course had a bit of everything, including a fair bit of deep bull dust, that even the annoying rain couldn’t keep down.

Max Price has a great day in the saddle for Open Solo, finishing up in the top spot with Rowan Pumpa chasing hard to reel him in. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to catch up, settling for second with just 23 seconds behind Max. Adam West rounded out the Open Solo top 3 with a consistent ride, sitting 152 seconds off first place.

Open Sidecar was taken out by Shane Schiller / Brian Anthony, after a cracking day of riding and locking in a time that would put them 30th outright for this round. Even with that time, Max Hutchesson / Sam Hutchesson kept Schiller and Anthony under pressure, finishing just 11 seconds back in second place with Bradley Manuel / Ashley Ball finishing another 11 seconds back in third.

Round 3 of the 2023 SART Championship heads off to Robertstown on June 10th and 11th for the Lew Job 2-Day Trial. This massive weekend is certainly one not to be missed with riders facing all the challenges over a 6 hr day/night format on Saturday and 6 hr daylight trial on Sunday.

Provisional open solo and sidecar results are below, with details and results by class available on the SART website here. (Note these results are provisional for 7 days for competitors to review, the results will be published as final on the Round Results page from Midnight Saturday June 3rd 2023).
