SPEEDWAY LIGHTING UP A HUGE FINISH TO 2022 – FIM 2022 OCEANIA SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIO RECAP

January 3, 2023 Filed Under: News, Speedway

The scorching late December day set the mood for a night full of action packed Speedway racing, with 2022 fast coming to a close, as Gillman hosted one of the biggest action packed events to close the year. Both local and Australian talent went up against absolute exceptional international athletes, all vying for the 2022 FIM Oceania Championships title prestige.

Fast paced, down to the line racing didn’t disappoint with UKs own 2021 British Speedway Champion Adam Ellis taking top spot from New South Wales’ 2017 World Champion, Jason Doyle in second and Western Australia’s adopted son, UK 3 time World Speedway Champion, Tai Woffinden.

South Australian champions were mixing it with the best with Brayden McGuinness rounding out the night in fifth place overall with 10 points, trailed by Fraser Bowes in sixth, Jake Turner in tenth, Liam May trailing closely 14th, Steve Graetz in 16th and SA’s Teagan Peddler receiving a last minute call up as a reserves but unfortunately not getting a ride in the main event.

Victoria’s Jackson Milner took a huge fall in race 22 requiring medical attention and a trip to the hospital. We are exceptionally happy to report he has been discharged and returned home but is looking forward, as we are for him to come back and take on Gillman again.

PRESS RELEASE :-MOTOCROSS 2023 – GETTING BIGGER & BETTER EACH YEAR!

December 20, 2022 Filed Under: Motocross, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAMX Championship

The 2023 Motocross season is going to be another huge year, to say the least, especially as many of the Clubs are yet to put in their Club dates – due in part to waiting for the calendar to be released – and so those clubs can start their planning – here is the 2023 calendar – as it stands on December 20 2022.

As you can see below, the options to smash berms in 2023 is going to be huge, with the Sports Manager still putting together the 2023 SAMX Championship, building on the brilliant numbers that entered the 2022 Championship. With this in mind, there is still a round to be finalised, but the 4 weekend dates have been set to put in the diary.

Stay tuned early in 2023 for the release of the formats for, and a huge and exciting announcement (press release) regarding the 2023 Championships. This announcement is still in the finalising stage, but rest assured, it is pretty exciting for the future of the Championship going forward!

Please also keep in mind that there will be no round in July in 2023 – due to the AJMX being held in the July School Holidays at Alice Springs – seems like a great sport for the motocross side of Team SA to spend the holidays really!

The Tea Tree Gully MCC are also gearing up for a huge 2023, with not only their Club rounds set, but also, they are excited to be hosting the 2023 SA Historic Scramble Championships (SA-VMX) in September, so time to dust the old machines off as TTG will put on a huge show.

Meanwhile, over in the ‘wild, wild west’, the series that compliments the SAMX Championship so well year after year, the EP Series (Eyre Peninsula) will once again be run, kicking off the year for a lot of riders in Port Lincoln, before heading to Ceduna and Whyalla, before the finale in Kimba in June.

Keep an eye out also for 2 special events – as always, the annual Easter trek to Port Pirie for the, now, iconic King of the Gulf meeting, which will also feature the prince and Classic King of the Gulfs, as well as the SA Women’s Cup for motocross over the weekend.

Speaking of women, South Coast are very excited to be holding the first ever ‘female only’ Ladies Race Day, at Monarto on March 5 – keep an eye out on the South Coast socials for all the details on that one!

MOTORCYCLING SA’S 2023 SPECIAL EVENTS

December 19, 2022 Filed Under: News

While all of the disciplines run, what would be called ‘special events’, there are a number which come under the Motorcycling SA Banner, or in the case of the first one listed below, can’t really be put into a specific discipline – so, it has been added here!

Technically listed as a road race, the Sellicks Beach Historic Races, which would be the only event to challenge the 24 Hour Trial as South Australia’s most iconic event, will have its bi-annual running in early March – on the Saturday and Sunday of the March Long Weekend.

The Sellicks Beach races started in the very early years of the 20th century and several groups made use of the beach and the hills behind the beach, to race not just bikes, but cars as well and all trying to set new speed records.

These ‘Speed Trials’ ran until 1957 when they went into recess, but except for re-enactments in 1986 and 1992, there had been no racing on the beach until 2017 when the Levis MCC decided that 60 years was enough of a gap – and they bought it all back to life, and with a huge bang, so much so it now runs biannually and with great support from the local councils and residents, as well as the motorcycle community!

Entries for this most historic of events are now open and close on January 5^th, unless the classes are full beforehand – head to www.www.levismcc.asn.au and hit the link for all of the details.

Also on the March Long Weekend, but on the Sunday and Monday, will be the first ever ‘MSA All Discipline Come N Try Day’ at the Monarto Motocross and Go-Kart venues, which are situated next to each other, with the motocross complex, the home of the South Coast MXC, able to cater for all of the off-road disciplines, with the go-kart complex looking after road race.

It’s a very exciting event to be outing together, and it will certainly be a first for SA, to have all disciplines together at one venue for all to Come N Try. Discussion between the Sports managers has also been positive, with bikes and riding gear being organised – so stay tuned for more information to be released on this early in 2023.

April 4 is also a date to put in the diary, as it will be the Annual General Meeting for motorcycling SA, to be held at MSA Hall on the 4^th of April – all Clubs will get more info on this in early 2023.

The other event, where more information will be made available in 2023 will be the 20-23 Motorcycling SA Night of Champions, which will once again celebrate all things good about motorcycle sport in South Australia.

Special Dates – as of December 19 2023.

March 11 & 12 – Sellicks Beach Historic Motorcycle Races @ Sellicks Beach (Levis MCC)

March 12 & 13 – MSA All Discipline Come N Try @ Monarto MX & Go-Kart Complexes

April 4 – Motorcycling SA Annual General Meeting @ MSA Hall, Beulah Park

TBA – 2023 Motorcycling SA Night of Champions @ TBA

RIDE PARKS AUSTRALIA DAYS – 2023 SO FAR!

December 19, 2022 Filed Under: Enduro, Motocross, News

No Licence – NO WORRIES! And, More riding, more often!

Ride Parks Australia – Ride Park Days

For the past couple of years, MA affiliated clubs have had the opportunity to run Ride Park Days that are safe and controlled non-competition riding days where families, friends and kids of all abilities can enjoy social riding. Available for riders of all ages – and – running these days are an excellent way toget new members into your Club, as newbies don’t need a licence to come along and see if they are going to like it or not!

For an RPA Day, No Licence Required!
– They do not need a state issued motorcycle licence or MA Licence
– They will have an option to purchase Personal Accident coverage and it is highly recommended
– Junior KickStart Licence or Logbooks are not required
– No minimum age requirement for kids

Give the MSA Office a call regarding your club running RPA Days in 2023 – and there is also an RPA specific page on the MA website – https://www.ma.org.au/ride-park-days/

A number of Clubs have already lodged their 2023 dates, as have the ACUSA Park Committee, which run all of their Ride Days under the RPA banner, with the discipline in the (brackets) – and here is the 2023 calendar so far – and we know there are still many more to come;
