Meanwhile, Seth Carpenter is laser-focused on closing the 30-point gap with Mitch Norris to clinch second place in the standings. The final rounds promise intense competition and strategic maneuvering as these riders vie for top positions.

Siegah Ward

As the reigning Women All Powers Champion, Amy Bartsch leads by 19 points over Emma Haylock. With Round 5 approaching, Bartsch will aim to maintain her lead and secure the 2024 title. However, Victoria’s Emma Milesevic is poised to make a significant push for a podium finish and could shake up the round standings.

Amy Bartsch

The Expert All Powers division is set for an exhilarating Round 5, with only 43 points separating the top three contenders. Aaron Van Zetten will need to fend off Lucas Brereton to retain his lead, while Joel Hakkinen is positioned to make a decisive final push. The upcoming races are bound to be a thrilling battle for the championship title.

Aaron Van Zetten

Eyes will be turning to the showdown brewing between Warren Carrol & Bradleigh Thompson as they settle once and for all who will be the Vets 35 – 44 Years Champion for 2024. With just 15 points between the 2, and a year of exceptionally close racing, you won’t want to miss a second of this showdown. 

Warren Carrol

 

Joining the senior this weekend will also feature the future of SA Motocross as 142 junior talents take to the track. With Emily Lambert sidelined due to injury, Charlize Waldhuter has a chance to close the 52-point gap and take over the 150cc-250cc 13-U16Yrs Girls Championship. Meanwhile, Danielle Churchett could mount a late charge to contest the overall title, adding extra excitement to the final rounds.

Charlize Waldhuter

Noah Rochow, who finished third in the Junior Lites 250cc 13-U16Yrs class last year, is now in a strong position to claim the 2024 title. Leading by 49 points over Kye Little, Rochow will need to stay focused and perform well at South Coast to secure the championship and make 2024 his standout year.

Noah Rochow

Riley Mullen is set to defend his 85cc/150cc Small Wheel 9-U12Yrs Championship title against a formidable field. With talented riders like Ollie Paech and Bodhi Austin in the mix, Mullen will need to give his all to hold off the competition and add another title to his impressive list of accomplishments.

Heading into the final round of the 2024 Championship, the 65cc 7-9 year class is tighter than ever. After a flawless performance in round 4, where he swept first place, Bailey Thomson aims to bridge the 5-point gap separating him from class leader Kobe Smart. However, one thing is certain—Kobe will give everything he’s got on the track to defend his top spot and chase that dream finish.

Rising Stars and Top Finishes: South Australian Highlights from the ASBK Championship Round 5 Phillip Island Outing

September 9, 2024 Filed Under: ASBK, News, Road Racing

As the championship reached its boiling point and the points battles intensified, Phillip Island became a hub of roaring engines and fierce competition on the 7th and 8th of September for Round 5 of the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul. With class titles hanging in the balance, SA’s racers were right in the thick of the action, pushing the limits in a weekend of relentless racing!

Our riders certainly put on a show, delivering electrifying performances with top-10 finishes, hard-fought podiums, and personal bests throughout the adrenaline-charged weekend. Their grit and determination were undeniable, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments. With two days packed with thrilling moments, let’s dive into just some of the performances that had us on the edge of our seats.

AMA Warehouse Superbike

Arthur Sissis looked set for a strong weekend after securing 7th in Qualifying 1 and improving to 4th in Qualifying 2. He delivered a consistent, hard-charging performance in Race 1, landing a podium finish in 3rd after a thrilling late race pass on NSW’s Cru Halliday. Unfortunately, Race 2 came to a premature end when Sissis was caught out on the tricky Turn 4 during the opening lap, ending his weekend early.

Marking his 100th ASBK start on the weekend’s grid, Ty Lynch got off to a strong start in Race 1, climbing five positions before losing two spots in the mid-pack shuffle. Unfortunately, his race took a downturn with a crash that ended his efforts early. In Race 2, Lynch bounced back with a fierce charge, moving into 3rd by the first lap. But Turn 4 proved tricky once again, as another crash derailed his chances. Despite his grit and determination, Lynch’s weekend came to a close when he had to return to the pits, capping off a tough round.

Michelin Supersport 600

Olly Simpson continued his relentless pursuit of a 2024 ASBK overall podium finish with a stellar performance in Round 5. After qualifying 3rd, just 0.243 seconds off pole, he turned up the heat in the second Supersport qualifying session, taking his first-ever P1 and setting a new qualifying record, beating the previous benchmark by 0.071 seconds. In Race 1, Simpson secured a solid 3rd place, but it was in Race 2 where he truly turned up the heat. Battling tricky conditions and intense pressure from NSW’s Jake Farnsworth, Simpson clinched victory in a breathtaking photo finish by just 0.016 seconds. This win earned him the overall victory in the Supersport 600 class for Round 5 and kept him second in the 2024 Supersport championship standings, now only 20 points behind the leader.

Race & Road Supersport 300

South Australian riders were heavily involved in the Supersport 300 top 10 battles throughout the weekend. Ryder Gilbert led the charge, finishing 8th in Race 1, marking his personal best round, with Jordan Simpson closely behind and Tara Morrison rounding out the top 10 to kick off her weekend.

In Race 2, as the competition intensified, Jordan Simpson and Ryder Gilbert maintained their positions in the top 6, with just 0.488 seconds separating them from the competition.

The weekend’s final Race 3 saw Jordan Simpson round out a brilliant performance, holding off rivals to secure 2nd place, just 0.295 seconds behind NSW’s Will Nassif. This ensured the Simpson family had a podium-filled weekend. Ryder Gilbert capped off his personal best weekend with a 10th-place finish in Race 3, placing him 7th overall for the round. ‘Tornado’ Tara Morrison concluded Round 5 at Phillip Island in 9th overall, following a 14th-place finish in Race 2 and an impressive 6th place in Race 3, bringing her ever closer to taking out another ASBK podium finish.

Countdown to the 2024 SA Dirt Track Championship: Excitement and Dirt Track Competition Await!

September 5, 2024 Filed Under: Dirt Track, News, State Championship

This Sunday, September 8th, the highly anticipated 2024 SA Dirt Track Championship returns as Mud N Tars MCC unleashes the excitement at the Day Road Dirt Track Circuit. With 45 riders and 80 bikes from SA, NSW, and VIC already locked in, and entries still open until Friday, September 6th, the competition promises to be tighter than ever. With such a fierce lineup, each contender will need to bring their best as they fight for the prestigious State Championship title.

 

Competitors:

After narrowly missing out on the 2023 Pro 450 Championship title, Kyle Machin returns with renewed determination to claim the crown in 2024. However, with seasoned competitors like Liam May, Victoria’s Riley Plum, and NSW’s Jayden Roberts all eyeing the top spot, the path to victory will be anything but easy.

Kyle Machin.

With the 250cc class heating up, reigning champion Casey Clarke is ready to take charge and push his championship run into 2024.

Joining the talented lineup this weekend, SA’s Jamie Gwiazda and Kirsty Schults are set to dominate the Pro Women’s Class, while Julian Timmis and Robert Stout will prove that age and experience go hand in hand in the Veterans 40+ class. Meanwhile, the relentless James Hayden and Tyler Battams are gearing up for a fierce showdown against 2023 Junior Champion Harry Sadler, who is making his debut in senior competition for 2024.

Casey Clarke.

Adding to the weekend’s buzz, more than 35 junior racers will provide a thrilling glimpse into the future of the sport. Among them, Archie Schmidt is trading in his road bike for some dirt track action as he returns to defend his 85cc 2-stroke and 150cc 4-stroke Championship titles. But with a stacked field of competition, including rising star Connor Machin, the battle for the top spot is far from guaranteed. Will Archie steal the show once again, or will the fierce competition have something to say about that?

Rounding out the weekend’s stacked lineup of classes, an aspiring group of 50cc demo non-comp riders will take to the track, soaking up all the excitement and atmosphere of a state championship before making their entrance into competitions in the coming years.

Gawler Motorcycle Centre 2024 SA Reliability Trial Championship – SAPMAC MCC Brings the Round 5 River Murray Trial Action to Palmer

September 2, 2024 Filed Under: News, Reliability, State Championship

Anticipation reached a fever pitch as SAPMAC MCC hosted the penultimate round of the Gawler Motorcycle Centre 2024 SA Reliability Trial Championships at Palmer. Riders approached the demanding course with unwavering focus, knowing that the final sprint to the finish was just around the corner. Despite the rain leading up to the event, the track became a challenging battleground, with loose, dusty sections keeping competitors on edge. Coupled with a persistent, gusty wind, the two-lap daytime challenge tested both endurance and skill, making those critical Round 5 Championship points even more elusive. As the competition heats up further, let’s delve into the Round 5 provisional results.

 

The battle for the Solo Overall top spot was intense between Royden Harrold and Charlie Milton, with Harrold taking the early lead in lap 1, followed by Milton and Toby Lewis. Milton quickly found his rhythm on the Palmer course, clocking the provisional fastest time in the second lap. However, Harrold’s strong performance in lap 1 proved decisive, earning him the overall win by just 5 points. Toby Lewis held his position in the top three, trailing second-place Milton by 33 points to secure third place comfortably ahead of Cody Schiller.

They established a commanding lead with an impressive lap 1 advantage of 88 points over Ben Mayne and Shaun Buckley. Despite a strong push from Mayne and Buckley in lap 2, they were unable to overtake the resolute Plowman and Brook, who held firm to secure the win. In the race for third place, Shaun Blenkiron and Nathan Saegenschnitter, currently third in the Open Sidecar Championship, showed a strong lap 1 performance. However, Bradley Hunter and Haydon Ahrens delivered a blistering second lap, ultimately claiming third place on the Round 5 podium with a decisive margin of 81 points.
