#WHATSONWEDNESDAY THE ACTION FOR THIS WEEKEND, March 7 – 9

This weekend sees 4 great events to sink your teeth into, covering 2 disciplines of our sport and 2 of them are extra special as they remember a great figure in the sport who passed way too early – so it will be yet another great weekend’s spectating on offer!

The 2 big events for this weekend are the 2020 Bob White SA Junior Sidecar Championship on Friday, and then the Bob White Cup on Saturday for speedway sidecars!

On Sunday there will be the first of the ‘Women’s Days’ for 2020 with the Women’s Only Come & Try / Practise Day at South Coast’s track at Monarto, and with 30+ taking part last year, it’s hoped to break through the 50 rider barrier this year – get around it!

And also on Sunday there is the Morgan MCC’s 2nd Club Day of the year as well – so another busy weekend ahead!

Nothing like a blast from the past to help promote the future racing at a Friday night speedway meeting!

Bob White 2020 South Australian Junior Sidecar Championship

Friday night is Speedway Night at Sidewinders on March 6th, with the running of the prestigious Bob White 2020 SA Junior Sidecar Championship.

Jackson Milner/Adam Niesche are well favoured after taking out the NSW Championship but there is no doubt we are all in for a very entertaining night of racing from the very best junior sidecars in Australia.

No matter which combination takes out the Championship, we know every sidecar team will put their skills to best use, and there will be close racing throughout the night.

The sidecars are supported by the Solo and Novice Solo riders, who will also bring some excitement to the track.

LAURIE FOX MEMORIAL SA SIDECAR CHAMPIONSHIP & CLASSIC MASTER OF MAC PARK

Filed Under: News, Road Racing, State Championship

Winners are grinners, and there were no shortage of grinners at Mac Park over the weekend.

Around 100 historic bikes and 30 sidecars battled it out on track over the weekend at Mount Gambier, a weekend of perfect weather, large crowds, plenty of food and drinks and a great atmosphere all round.

As always, a huge thanks to all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make such great events happen – you know who you are, and your work is appreciated!

All those that won a race, entered a race, watched a race, or in some way helped make the races happen (including the awesome kitchen staff/brekky crew/office admin/gate/everyone else…) deserve their grins, but there were some extra special grinners…

The Isle of Man TT raffle was drawn at 4.00pm Sunday, and Charlie Adams, is the lucky person off the the Isle of Man in September; Peter McDonough is $1000.00 richer and John Cummings is $500 richer, with thanks to all who bought tickets.

Many thanks to the City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin who came, drew the raffle and acted as official. The council is an important supporter of the club and it’s great to be recognised for the contribution we make to the region. But at the end of the day, the real winners/grinners were those that bought a ticket, didn’t win, but supported such an awesome and unique place.

Full results of the weekend can be found here; http://www.computime.com.au/meetings/index?MeetID=2020/CLAS_MMP_20/ 

And the kid on the swing? Smiles for all at Mac Park, that’s for sure!

 

And after a Classic weekend, what better way to sign off than with a classic Mac Park pic!

Daniel Falzon #25

Race weekend done ✅

We finished overall 6th position here at Phillip Island for the first round of ASBK.

I’m happy to come away with a bag of points, it’s a solid start to the season and we’re slowly but surely improving bike set up with the new Dunlop tyres.

The weekend however, wasn’t without some mishaps! A puncture in qualifying and then an oil leak in race 3 causing my right foot to slip off the pegs frequently didn’t make laps any easier!

Thanks to the JD Race Team for their efforts, it’s amazing what a task it is pre-season to prepare a competitive Superbike team but hats off to everyone involved.

Dallas Skeer Racing

A positive weekend at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit at round 1 of ASBK – Australian Superbikes even though the position wasn’t the best I felt the most comfortable yet at Phillip Island.

After limited time due to practise being cut short because of rain, I went into qualifying unsure on what the outcome might be.

Ended up 13th on the grid and off the pace of my usual lap times. Race 1 saw me finish 11th and get a lot better PB time. Races 2 and 3 were similar with battles with the group I was in.

Overall I finished 11th for the round which is not ideal but considering how tight the times were and that I always struggled at this track we are happy.

Ty Lynch Racing

First outing as a team together, and our first hard weekend of many together, a lot of work went in over the weekend to make some form of a positive outcome, I’m disappointed in the result as a whole but at the same time happy to have gathered valuable points in the championship after the start of the weekend was looking as bad as it was.

Riding with an injury like that isn’t easy by all means but when the helmet was on we were focused and had no complaints, next round will be better and I look forward to the challenges that the season holds.

Thank you to the team and everyone behind us it’s a long season and we have a lot too look forward to this year.

Shout out also to young trials gun, Hayden Eardley and his dad, Mark. They travelled to Phillip Island on the weekend to be part of the Oset Bikes Downunder display and demo, with the young Aussie Champ doing what he does so well on the electric trials bikes! great to see a South Aussie rider get to ride on a stage as big as an WSBK/ASBK round at Australia’s most famous circuit!

Mark is 2nd from left in front, with Hayden far right in the pic below.
