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.

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.

RESULTS – 2023 SA RELIABILITY CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 1 – MARRABEL BRINGS THE PHILLIP HAYDON TRIAL TO LIFE AGAIN for 2023

Filed Under: News, Reliability, State Championship

Last Saturday, May 6th saw the start horn sound on a new series of the South Australian Reliability Championships (SART) for 2023, with beautiful Marrabel welcoming the first round. Continuing the long-standing tradition of Gawler MCC opened the SART Championships with the Phillip Haydon Trial as Round 1. 

Round 1 gave riders and spectators a taste of everything throughout a fantastic course, challenging competitors over 2 laps, with around 6 hours of racing in a day/night format. On top of spectators enjoying exceptional viewing vantage points, the delicious egg and bacon rolls, hot chips, sausages, burgers, sandwiches & cakes were exceptionally popular, even after a mercy dash to Kapunda couldn’t help keep the food on the tables long enough, before selling out. This combined with a bar stocked bar and cold drinks flowing, was a weekend enjoyed by the crowds of spectators.

With spectators crowding in to see all the action, they certainly didn’t leave disappointed after nail-biting tight racing and photo finishes into the night. Congratulations to Rowan Pumpa for taking out the A-class – Expert Solo – Unlimited by a mere 1-second gap in front of the race leader,  Jayden Rudd after he experienced issues on the last lap.

After an exceptional ride, the combo team of Shane Schiller / Brian Anthony put in a cracking effort being both the first sidecar across the line and putting down a time to be 13th outright – Well done guys!! Kudos to Max Hutchesson / Sam Hutchesson for being the only other sidecar duo to finish in the outright top 2o -Congratulations.

Provisional open solo and sidecar results are below, with details and results by class available on the SART website here. (Note competitors have until midnight on Sunday, May 14 to challenge or query any results.)

Round 2 of the 2023 SART Championship action continues on the 27th of May in Keyneton with The Mike Connors Reliability Trial presented by the Keyneton MCC. Put it in your calendar now and make sure you are there as the 2023 Championship story continues.
