#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! 

 

FRIDAY MARCH 6TH @ SIDEWINDERS SPEEDWAY.

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.

Can Jake Treloar/Isaac Mitchell make it two in row, or will we see a new Champ on top of the podium??

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.

Thanks to our sponsors of this Meeting, without whom we couldn’t run the event.

RIDE DAY AT MAC PARK MOUNT GAMBIER

What is a Ride Day at Mac Park?

In a word, AWESOME!

It’s pretty much impossible to exploit even a fraction of what your motorcycle is capable of on the road these days without significant risk to your licence, not to mention safety with increased traffic, deteriorating road conditions, and the unpredictability of what may lie around the corner.

Ride days allow you to dictate how fast you go and enjoy your bike’s capabilities in a way they were designed to be used.

You do not need a race bike, or even sports bike, to enjoy riding on the track.

With graded groups we cater for everyone – from the seasoned racer to complete novice.

A day on track will cost $130 ($80 junior) while our 2-day events cost $240 ($150 junior).

Camping at the track is available for $10 per person per night, under 16 free

The canteen is open for breakfast and lunch and offers a wide range of menu items.

We pride ourselves on running family friendly events with plenty of track time and a great atmosphere, an atmosphere we guarantee you will be unlikely to find at any other racetrack!
