HEAD WEST YOUNG RIDERS, HEAD WEST! ROUND 3, EAGLE TRAILERS, CAMPERS & CARAVANS SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS HEADS ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND!

June 17, 2021 Filed Under: Dirt Track, Motocross, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAMX Championship, State Championship, Trials

HEAD WEST YOUNG RIDERS, HEAD WEST!

ROUND 3, EAGLE TRAILERS, CAMPERS & CARAVANS SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS HEADS ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND!

Round 3 of the Eagle Trailers, Campers & Caravans 2021 South Australian Motocross Championships, along with round 2 of TROY Series SA 2021 for Trial headline this coming weekend, with the SAMX Championships heading to the ‘Wild West’ of Ceduna, hosted by the West Coast MCC and TROY being run in the Barossa at Vine Vale, with the 48th running of the Keyneton MCC’s Mountain Man Trial.

Here is the rundown on this weekend’s action – events, ride days and all what’s happening!

EAGLE TRAILERS, CAMPERS & CARAVANS 2021 SA MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS, presented by AMX SUPERSTORES;

 The trip west means round 3 of 5 of the 2021 Championship, which is also presented by AMX Superstores, so this also means the season is half way to crowning the 2021 South Australian Champions.

With the hot action that has been seen at rounds 1 & 2, those who are travelling and fully supporting the 2021 Championship are putting themselves in a strong position for a great 2021 result, as if the first 2 rounds have proven anything, it’s that you definitely need to be in it to win it!

So, a huge thanks to all who are supporting, not only the Championship, but also SA’s most remote country Club and their members – it’s your support that will continue to see the Championship, and motocross, thrive into the future here in SA, so let’s continue to grow support behind these clubs and the Championship.

SA Motocross looks forward to seeing you all there!

And the action will be hot on the track, as has been stated, this is the half way point of the Championship, so those who have been locked in a battle for points will be all out this weekend to try and get a gap as they head to Keith for round 4, and with ALL classes still very much up for grabs, there won’t be a single race without handle bars being banged!

The sea views from the Ceduna track will definitely be taking a back seat when the gates drop!

And from the West Coast Club, who are going all out to make every visitor feel welcome!

“We have convinced Jon to put on another roast night on the Saturday night 19th June of our State Championship round (hopefully the weather is kinder this year). So we would love for you to join us in the shed around the fire for a yarn, a coldy and have an awesome feed for $10.00 per plate.

For catering purposes – please let us know and we’ll make sure you don’t miss out!

AND: as well as Erikah doing face painting from 11.00am-1.00pm Saturday, we will have Mel at the track selling showbags for her great cause, and below is a little bit about Mel’s cause

“Selling showbags as part of my fundraising as I’m shaving all my hair off to a number 1 or 2 and donating hair for wigs for sick kids and adults. Fundraising monies will be equally split between RFDS, MS Foundation, Ceduna Hospital Auxiliary and Children’s Cancer Institute. Thanks for your support Mel!””

So get around the Club and their friends and supporters – and make your trip one to really remember!

TROY Series SA 2021 round 2, THE 48TH MOUNTAIN MAN TRIAL

TROY Series SA 2021 kicks back into gear on Sunday with the 48th running of the Keyneton MCC’s Mountain Man Trial at Vine Vale in the Barossa Valley, just off the Angaston-Tanunda road, action kicks off around 9.30am and entry for spectators is FREE!

50 riders from as young as 6 years of age, right through to veterans in their 60’s will be in action, including Australian representatives and Australian Champions like Connor Hogan, Hayden Eardley and Haydon Barwick, and 2019, and reigning, MSA Rising Star, Lillie Yiatrou!

As well as a full day’s action the Keyneton MCC will have catering this coming Sunday, with a massive thanks to the ‘Masters of Wine’ and ‘Just Us Girls’ (JUGS) Mighty River Run teams! They are raising money for Novita, so get around them and their great cause, with Bacon & Egg sangas for breaky and burgers for lunch – among heaps more!

A great day for the whole family to wander among the gum trees and get up and close to some fantastic trials action, and supporting a great cause!

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

June 10, 2021 Filed Under: Motocross, News, Reliability, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAMX Championship, State Championship, Trials

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

This June Long Weekend, Saturday & Sunday, the 12th & 13th, sees round 3 of the 2021 South Australian Reliability Trials Championships, the Velocette MCC’s Lew Job Reliability Trial – the Robbie 2-Day – being run, and as always, starting from the Robertstown Oval at Robertstown in the state’s mid north!  

Just over 95 riders will tackle some of SA Reliability Trials most iconic sections this weekend, with Springhut Creek once again likely to be the highlight for most riders, and especially after missing the event in 2019, which had to be cancelled due to COVID-19! Leading the field out onto the course will be the sidecars, with the team of Hector Evans & Shaun Buckley first bike away!

The first bike will start at 1.01pm on Saturday and 9.01am on Sunday, with riders doing 2 laps each day of a course that should take them about 2 hours & 20 minutes!

To catch all the action – head to the Robertstown Oval and grab an egg & bacon sanga, a coffee and a programme, which will tell you all you need to know in regards to who is riding and where the best spots to catch the action are (spectator paddocks) – and then head back to the Oval to welcome home the riders at the end of their journey each day – and grab a lamb roll from the awesome catering the Robertstown community will have on site!

ENTRY TO ALL POINTS OF THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ALL SPECTATORS;

BUT REMEMBER TO QR CODE WHEN YOU ARRIVE – JUST TO BE SURE!!

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

  • The 4 runs up Springhut Creek, regarded by many as ‘the’ competitive section of the year
  • The lamb & gravy rolls at ‘Robbie’ Oval, run by the local community and always a great feed!

 WELCOME:

On behalf of the Gawler Motorcycle Club, I would like to welcome everyone to the first two rounds of the 2021 Nitschke Energy SA Off Road Championships.

We are now living in a new normal so please log into our QR code, follow COVID-19 safe where possible and follow our spectator guidelines.

The Gawler MCC was formed in 1925 to cater for early 24 Hour Trial events. We are a proud club with a decorated history of producing elite riders in all disciplines of motorcycle racing. The club has hosted many SAORC rounds in the past with several of them being voted best rounds of the series, we are planning not to disappoint with our return to the Coonalpyn district.

SAORC would not be possible without the generous landowners who allow us to use their properties to enjoy our sport. None more the Heinrich family. David and Karen have welcomed us back bigger and better. There assistance in preparation and hosting club members whist setting up the event is much appreciated by all of us. We need to think our land owners and leave only footprints and ruts and not our rubbish when we leave.

We are returning to the runway paddock from 2014 with many new tracks linking old tracks to create a 21km cross country loop. Jordan and Todd Heinrich have put in a huge effort to create this awesome loop, so we must all thank them when we bump into them throughout the weekend. If you see a plane flying round, there’s a good chance one of them is taking a lucky punter for a joy flight. Gawler MCC thanks the Heinrichs for their continued support.

Many local businesses are needed to make the weekend as comfortable as possible for us all, so I would like to thank:

Nicks Gourmet Kitchen for catering

         Mrs Sippy for the coffee truck

         JB Hire for the toilets

         Jason Rumpling for shower hire

Gawler MCC have jumped in at the 11th hr to host rounds 1/2 of the SAORC. With a little over 6 weeks preparation for this event we must thank Andrew Krieg and Peter Stevens for their drive and enthusiasm in helping to keep the series alive. We could not host these rounds without the army of volunteers from our great club. Many people help throughout the event, sometimes too many to thank personally. From the track markers to the event pack up crews and all in between we thank you very much for a great event.

Hope all riders a safe and enjoyable ride over the weekend

Cheers

Anton Seifert

Club President

ASHLEY JANSEN-BATCHELOR RACING #131 – 2020/21 SEASON WRAP!

May 26, 2021 Filed Under: News, Speedway, State Championship

2019 MSA Rising Star Nominee, Ashley Jansen-Batchelor gives us his rundown on a hugely successful season, with lots of miles travelled and lots of silverware to add to the cabinet – huge effort by him and his team! 

2020/21 Summer Season Wrap Up

The 2020/21 Summer Season was my most successful Season and I am incredibly proud of what I achieved. It had its challenges through injury where I missed my home South Australian Championship and COVID-19 has delayed the Australian Championships until September this year.
However I am very proud of what I achieved when I came back from that injury. This season we travelled more than we have done in any other season, raced at more tracks and gained valuable experience. I also started racing in the 250cc category which was a whole new learning experience and a really good challenge.

NSW State Championship
The first major race of the season for me after spending 6 weeks on the sidelines with injury was the NSW State Championships, for both 125cc and 250cc categories, held at Woodstock Park Speedway near Cowra NSW. It was a really successful trip having finished on equal highest points scorer for 125cc and coming out of gate 2 in the final, I was able to come away with second place in what was a tough field. This was a really important race for me, especially coming back from injury. I was really happy with the result.

The Graham Baker Memorial Shield
Next up was The Graham Baker Memorial Shield held at my home track Sidewinders. This was one of the races I set as a goal to win this season after having made the podium in the previous season. I am very grateful that the Baker family business CBS Bins, as well as Ecowaste Solutions are key supporters and partners of mine and I’m proud to be associated with them, so to win this and to get my name on the Shield was special for me.

Craig Boyce Invitational
We then made the long trip over to Kurri Kurri in NSW to compete in the Craig Boyce Invitational in both 125cc and 250cc categories. It was great to go over to compete at a track I had not raced on before against some riders I had not competed against before. This was my most successful event in the 250 category finishing with the highest points scorer for the day.

Roy Bitmead Memorial Cup
The Roy Bitmead Memorial Cup was the next race back at my home track Sidewinders, another race I wanted to win this season after finishing on the podium last year. The memorial meetings are always special to win as these events are to honour the people that started our Club. This event was a tough one. I started the final in gate 3 and I am really proud to come away with the win after a tough round of heats.

ANZAC Medal Presidents Cup
The final race of the season was the ANZAC Medal Presidents Cup. This one I wanted to finish the season on a high and get the win. I managed to do just that with a maximum not dropping a point all night and winning the final. It was one of my best races for the season and it was great to finish the season off on a winning note.

Thank you to our Partners & Supporters
During this season we had two new partners join our team of supporters in Darren Disbury and Repco Victor Harbor. I would like to say a massive thank you and welcome on board to them. I would also like to thank all of our partners and supporters for your ongoing support. It really makes all of what we achieved this season possible and I could not have done this without you. I look forward to coming and seeing you all over the off season to thank you personally.
