ROUND 3 OF TROY Series SA 2019 – THIS SUNDAY @ MOCULTA

Filed Under: News, Trials

Round 3 of the TROY Series SA 2019 for Trial will be held this Sunday along the pipeline at Moculta, north east of Angaston and the Barossa Valley, run by the Keyneton MCC, with action kicking off around 9.30am.

 

With a number of riders absent this weekend due to riding the New South Wales Championships at Pacific Park, the spotlight will well and truly be on SA’s amazing junior talent – including some who have just been selected to represent SA at the 2019 Australian trial Championships in Tasmania.

This is the 46th running of the Keyneton MCC’s Mountain Man Trial, named so by Bob Petts after thinking Geoff ‘Wack’ Barratt was a ‘mountain of a man’, with this the KMCC’s 2nd longest running event after the Mike Connors Reliability Trial.

Spectators are free to wander among the sections as riders try and do the impossible in this unique discipline where speed is not a factor – and the ideal spot for new junior riders to learn bike control!

As always – Greg Knight from Rockhopping SA will be on hand with a number of bikes for sale!

MOTOCROSS; SA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE THIS WEEKEND @ MONARTO!

The South Coast Motocross club will be the hosting the 4th and final round of the Eagle Trailers & Campers SA State Championships this weekend at their brilliant venue at Monarto. This event has attracted 208 competitors entered, the largest entry list for the year.

  

 

This event has attracted riders from as far and wide as Ceduna to Mount Gambier, with interstate riders from Victoria, and international competitors from Indonesia. With rider abilities spread from little demo’s starting at 4yrs to the MX Nationals Pros and the 35+ Veterans.

On Saturday, the juniors will take to the track, with many classes still up for grabs, and with a team SA berth for the Australian Junior Championships also on the line for the podium finishers – look out – the junior action will be ‘as hot as’!  

Entry for spectators on the Saturday is by gold coin – so why wouldn’t you get down to Monarto to watch the future of the sport here in SA – and bring sunglasses, it is pretty bright!

The South Coast Committee have gone all out to make everyone’s stay enjoyable and to ensure that the track has a family friendly environment. With the committee putting a bonfire and dinner on Saturday night, of Baked Potatoes with your choice of toppings and a can of drink for $10.

 

Sunday will see the seniors take the track, as well as the oldest juniors, for their final chance to grab some Championship glory! Most classes are still up for grabs and the action will be as hot as the juniors, the MX1 & 2 Classes jumping that bit higher and longer to put on a great spectacle for all watching!

Entry on Sunday is $5.00 per head or just $10.00 for a car full, so grab your mates and head down – full canteen and bar facilities all weekend!

With the help of Wayne McMillan and the very generous machinery donation from Loadex Hire SA, the South Coast Committee have been able to complete some track modifications and there are definitely some surprises in store for those who have entered.

Below is the final message (in part) from the Club before the weekend.

With our club holding a successful double header for the 2019 MX Nationals, our committee is excited to welcome back the South Australian MX Championship for the 5th consecutive year.

A huge thank you to every committee member and their children, volunteers and sponsors who are the reason for why we are able to hold this prestige event in South Australia.

We hope you enjoy the event and don’t forget to let us know if you would like to place an order for the Saturday night’s Baked Potato

CONNOR HOGAN CROWNED SA #1 AT THE TRIALSPORT & GLOBAL RACING OIL 2019 SA TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

CONNOR HOGAN CROWNED SA #1 AT THE 2019 SA TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

Mungeree and ‘The Woolshed Trial’ turned on its best conditions for the Trialsport & Global Racing Oil 2019 SA Trial Championships over the weekend of August 17 & 18, with SA International & Australia #2, Connor Hogan, showing the way with a masterful display over the 2 days.

Along with the brilliant venue, the great food and the trials community of SA coming together in the Mungeree camping paddock, perhaps the best thing to come out of the weekend was the brilliant riding of SA’s young talent, along with WA’s Ben Walling, 11 years of age and showing the Trial 4 (C Grade) Class a clean set of heals!

Led by Connor (18) and Lillie Yiatrou (15) in Open Women, who are both also riding in the World Trial Championship and will represent Australia at the Trials des Nations in September, the future of Trial in SA looks as strong as it has ever been, with Haydon Ahrens & Alex Cowan (Trial 2), Lillie (also Trial 3), Ben and Dan Fraser (Trial 5) leading the teenage rampage!

With the exception of Historic White, all of the senior classes had at least one rider on the podium under the age of 20, with the Open Women’s Class made up entirely of teenage riders, and with 2 of them still able to compete in junior competition as well!

And those still riding in the junior classes look just as promising for the future, with Jackson Poker, in his 2nd ever trial claiming a fantastic win in Junior A, with Australian #2 Charlotte Cowan winning Junior A Women, and also in fine style!

In Junior B Women, Hayley Stephen reversed the 2018 result to this time lead home Ashley Barwick, with Lucy Cowan in 3rd, while Harry Peterson led home Isaac Schultz & Oliver Lancaster in Junior B.

The sidecar field had a tough weekend on the Mungeree hills, logs and rocks, with Steve Rees & Melissa Rogers getting the A Grade win, with Andrew Earl & Christopher Paunola scoring a tough win in B Grade.

A huge congratulations must go to Team Hogan (whose home is Mungeree) and the AJS MTC for running a brilliant SA Championship event, with thanks to be made to all of the observers that stood out in the elements all weekend scoring the riders – the ‘world’s greatest observing team’ they certainly were – as well as the (Team Tyler) chief cooks and bottle washers – who kept everyone fed all weekend – and the officials and scorers for a job well done!
