AIMEE BULTER TO TAKE ON THE KIWIS IN 2020 AS PART OF THE GO GIRL RACING AUSTRALIA TEAM

In what is fantastic news for Motorcycling SA, SA Women in Motorcycling, SA Motocross and our sport in general – SA has yet another rider about to head overseas to follow her dream – this time it’s Aimee Butler from Port Augusta, who joins the likes of Connor Hogan, Sofie Kraft, Liam May, Lillie Yiatrou and Alex Larwood, among others, who have headed overseas well before their 18^th birthday!

In 2019 Aimee is one of six Junior female Motocross riders selected Australia wide to join and represent the Go Girl Racing Australia Motocross Team in 2020, team riders consist of Aimee Butler 15 years old SA, Taylor Thompson 14 years old NSW, Charli Cannon 14 years old QLD, Hayley Ball 11 years old QLD, Rayne Alefosio 12 years old NSW and Brooke Ball 8 years old QLD.

Go Girl Racing Australia supports the growth and development of our top Female riders in Motocross and provides opportunities for up and coming female athletes to compete around Australia and internationally. An opportunity that currently does not exist for females in Motocross.

Aimee is currently training with Go Girl Racing Australia as part of their progressive coaching initiative alongside Team coach Greg Moss in the lead up to heading to compete in New Zealand in January 2020.

The above pic shows Aimee (#512) getting the holeshot at the recent AJMX held at Gillman

The team will be competing at the King of the Mountain in the Taranaki and Woodville GP Oceania Challenge. Each Australian rider is paired with a New Zealand competitor and the points are calculated as to who will take home the cup. In 2019 Australia won the Oceania challenge by one point and we hope to lead the challenge again in 2020 with a strong Junior female team.

The Team will begin by racing at the King of the Mountain in the Taranaki, prior to racing in Woodville NZ. The GGRA Team will then be participating in and promoting a two day coaching clinic at Taranaki Club, this clinic is aimed at increasing the engagement of NZ female motocross riders and proving an opportunity for all riders to train with some of Australia’s top Junior female MX riders.

Aimee Butler’s selection was based on many factors including performance, consistency and dedication to supporting the growth and development of females in Motocross but most importantly sportsmanship and her ongoing commitment to supporting all females in MX, says Nicole McIntyre President of Go Girl Racing Australia.

And says Aimee, “I have been given an amazing opportunity, to be a part of the Go Girl Racing Australia (GGRA) female development team.

The GGRA have taken six of us girls and made our dreams come true, to be able to travel with our racing and represent the GGRA and female’s in motocross is really exciting and I can’t wait!”

All in SA wish Aimee all the best and look forward to seeing how her, and all of Team Australia go against the Kiwis early next year

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
