RESULTS – 2023 SAMX CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 2 – GATES DROP AT RIVERLAND JUNIOR MOTORCYCLE CLUB

Filed Under: Motocross, News, SAMX Championship

Conditions were prime and riders rearing to go, with the Riverland Junior Motorcycle Club rolling out the red carpet last weekend of the 20th and 21st May for Round 2 of the 2023 SAMX Championships. Spectators and fans all weekend long were kept on the edge of their seats with tight bar-to-bar racing taking centre stage. Round 2 brought a spectacular  lineup of 247 riders entered, with a massive 303 bikes competing over the two days. That’s right 56 riders couldn’t get enough and hit the track in multiple classes. With weather and track conditions as good as they were…who can blame them!!

After his round 1, third-place Pro-MX1 finish, Brett Metcalf took control and made the weekend a clean sweep of firsts ahead of Siegah Ward and Levi McManus. – Well done champ!!

Mitchell Norris fought hard all weekend in MX 2 to take a well deserved top step finish within extremely fast competition. Giving the girls a run for their money in sheer speed and style, Amy Bartsch pulled together a consistent weekend in taking a clean sweep of firsts in the Women’s All Powers class with Emma Haylock and Stephanie Cutler battling it out for the second and third.

It’s certainly looking to be a huge day ahead with entries hitting a maximum capacity of 191 riders and closing earlier than expected.

The Mike Connors Trial will be testing riders with a daytime format of 2 laps and approximately 6-8 hours of riding, over what is looking to be an absolutely fantastic track. Work has been well underway to ensure there is something for everyone, including a weekend for all families young and old, to take in all the action. There have already been exceptional amounts of work undertaken to mark a fantastic course ahead of the weekend. 

With hunger always kicking in early, the Keyneton Progress Association will be taking care of spectators, volunteers and riders by providing catering all day from 7:30 am, right through to the final rider finishing around 5:30 pm. To make sure thursts are quenched for adults during the action, a fully stocked bar is available from mid-afternoon presented by the Keyneton MCC. Make sure you bring cash though as there is only cash accepted at the bar.

PRESS RELEASE – 2023 SA OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE HELD OVER 4 ROUNDS IN 2023.

Filed Under: News, SAORC

Even with a final shout out for assistance to keep the opening weekend of the 2023 SA Off Road Championship a happening event, sadly there was not enough assistance offered to make the event go ahead, with thanks to those few that did register some assistance, meaning the 2023 SA Off Road Championships will now be a 2 weekend, 4 round Championship.

The Championship will be featuring 2 Sprint events and 2 Cross Country events and will take place as per the rounds listed below. Over the next week as it gets close to entries opening for rounds 1 and 2, Motorcycling SA will release the 2023 Championship sponsors, as well as the supplementary regulations for the 2023 Championship. Entries will be through Ridernet and, as in previous years, the usual range of junior and senior classes will be on offer.

 

 

2023 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS

ROUND 1 & 2

JULY 15 & 16                Tintinara               Keith & Districts             Cross Country / Sprint

ROUND 3 & 4

*AUGUST 26 & 27        Keyneton              Keyneton                       Cross Country / Sprint

* Being run alongside the AORC, rounds 7 & 8

 

 

Motorcycling South Australia would specifically like to thank the organising clubs for making the 2023 Championship possible, who 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 be opening up some new land to the Championship in 2023, and while it is disappointing that the Championship will only be held over 4 rounds, it is exciting that both organising clubs are opening up brand new land for these events.

 

As stated previously, Motorcycling SA are keenly aware that the sport as a whole, and Enduro specifically, is suffering from a serious lack of volunteers and have regularly been advertising for the past 4 years for persons interested in becoming the Sports Manager for Enduro, but to date there has not been a single applicant, and the position is still vacant.

 

If you would like more information on the position, please email administration@motorcyclingsa.org.au to get all of the information available.

Those considering nominees for this most prestigious of awards need to know the whole story, not just the ‘dot points’ of the nominee’s career.

 

THE FRANK FRANKLIN TROPHY

And last, but certainly not least, nominations are also open for Motorcycling SA’s most prestigious annual individual award ‘For an Exceptional Service to Motorcycle Sport’.

The ‘Frank’ is a perpetual shield that was originally donated by the Velocette Motorcycle Club to acknowledge people who have given exceptional service to motorcycle sport in South Australia. Although the recipient will not keep the shield, they will be presented with a replica to ensure the recipient has a lasting memento.

 

NOMINATION FORMS:

Nomination forms for all three awards can be found on the Motorcycling SA website, on our history page, which can be found under the ‘About MSA’ header, or by hitting this link; www.motorcyclingsa.org.au/about-us/history and scrolling down – all the relevant form links can be found just above the Hall of Fame prints.

2023 SA OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP LOOKING FOR HELP!

Filed Under: Enduro, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAORC

In yet another disappointing setback for the 2023 Championship, the Juventus MCC have sadly had to pull out of running the first 2 rounds of the 2023 SA Off Road Championship, due to a serious lack of man-power available to make the event happen.

No-one wants to see the 2023 Championship slip back to a 4 round series, so this is a FINAL CALL to see if there is a Club, or a group of people, that would be prepared to assist with the running of rounds 1 and 2 of the Championships over the weekend of June 17 & 18 at ACUSA Park, Harrogate.

Assistance will be available as to where everything is at the Park: car parks, toilets, access points, etc, and specifically to show where the tracks can, and can’t, go.

What would be needed are the following:

  • Track marking and un-marking teams (Monday of the June Long Weekend for marking, unmarking on the Sunday after racing or the following Saturday at the latest)
  • 2 teams of sweep riders each day (minimum of 4 riders per team) – this is a must for the safety of all riders, as well as keeping the event on schedule.
  • General assistants on the day for the following;
    1. Pit allocations and assisting teams/riders where they can set up.
    2. Sign On & Scrutineering assistants each morning
    3. Pit marshals – to assist with riders getting to the start line.
    4. Starters and finishers for each Test.
    5. Back up scoring teams.
    6. Bike recovery team.

Motorcycling South Australia will assist with the following:

  • Assign the appropriate level officials to run the meeting.
  • Approve the supp regs and all relevant paperwork.
  • Set the event up in Ridernet and monitor all entries as they come in, and deal with any issues that may arise – specifically in relation to endorsements and numbers.
  • Organise the event programs.
  • Organise the round awards (trophies), that would be presented at the next rounds.

Motorcycling SA are keenly aware that the sport as a whole, and Enduro specifically, is suffering from a serious lack of volunteers to make events happen, so, if you think your Club, or a group could put together a team to make these rounds happen, please call the MSA Office, 8332 9000, or email administration@motorcyclingsa.org.au BEFORE Monday, May 15th.

Motorcycling SA have regularly been advertising for the past 4 years for persons interested in becoming the Sports Manager for Enduro, but to date there has not been a single applicant, and the position is still vacant. If you would like more information on the position, please email administration@motorcyclingsa.org.au to get all of the information available.
