SAORC

THE VERY FIRST SCOTT WARE MEMORIAL ENDURO TRI-SERIES – 2019 NOW OPEN FOR ENTRIES!

May 24, 2019 Filed Under: Enduro, News, SAORC

THE VERY FIRST SCOTT WARE MEMORIAL ENDURO TRI-SERIES – 2019 NOW OPEN FOR ENTRIES!

 

THE SERIES

As a brand new initiative for 2019, 3 of Motorcycling SA’s mid north country clubs, the Gawler, Keyneton & Clare MCC’s have united to launch a brand new enduro series for 2019, the Scott Ware Memorial Tri-Series, and all rounds will run as Cross Country events in the inaugural year.

 

AND: The Clubs are more than excited to announce that entries for all rounds are now OPEN! Sup Regs and all of the details on the 2 rounds are now available on the Motorcycling SA website here; https://www.motorcyclingsa.org.au/supp-regs/, with entries online through Ridernet.

 

As stated, all the details are included in the Sup Regs, but here is the general information for the Series – which has one important factor to it – being a Tri-Series with the 3 clubs, membership to one of the 3 clubs is an absolute must – which can also be done through Ridernet for all three clubs.

THE JUNIORS

As you will see below, the focus for this Series will be somewhat more focused on the future of the sport – THE JUNIORS – as all 5 junior classes as per the SAORC are being offered. All 3 clubs have had a junior focus for a long time and will use this series to help develop the future of the sport here in South Australia.

 

OFF ROAD GIRLS & WOMEN

The 3 clubs are also being proactive in trying to entice more girls into this off road discipline, so, as it states below, 4 entries in each of the 3 races (2 junior and 1 senior), will result in a separate class for Junior & Senior Women in those races – so get around it and get out there, especially as all 3 clubs are renowned for hosting excellent events!

PRICE RACES TO 4TH OUTRIGHT AT OPENING SAORC

May 22, 2019 Filed Under: Enduro, News, SAORC

PRICE RACES TO 4TH OUTRIGHT AT OPENING SAORC

The 2019 South Australian Off-Road Championship hit Mount Crawford Forest last weekend for the opening round of the championship. The 7 round championship series takes place across 4 locations with riders competing for glory.

Round 1 took place on the 19th of May as riders tackled a sprint format amongst the technical pine forest of Mount Crawford. With over 200 riders, the competition was fierce and lap times were close all day.

18 year old Kessner KTM Off-Road Team rider Will Price proved his worth aboard his KTM 350 EXC-F machine. Coming off a highly successful 2018 SAORC season, young Price will be one to watch at the top of the leader board.

After placing 3rd outright last year he has been honoured to run the number 3 plate to show his hard work and dedication.

The opening round saw riders tackle short 2.5km loops, consisting of tight pine forest, logs, rocks and small hills. The conditions were perfect which made for some highly entertaining racing.

Competition was tough with returning 2018 champion Andrew Wilksch, South Australia’s number 2 Riley Graham and Queensland ring in Fraser Higlett. However a consistent performance by the rising star saw him race to some fast and consistent times just shy of the top 3 PRO’s.

“The first track suited me better, I liked to tighter technical track with the logs. It really separated those who had sharper technical skills and experience from the rest of the field. It was a difficult track to push hard because there was no room for mistakes, but I made it through smooth and consistent.”

After 4 laps on the first track, riders then swapped over to the junior side. Price sat in 4th position after the opening 4 tests. The second track was more open and flowing, with less technical sections. Spectators were floating around the track all day giving the racing a great atmosphere. The riders were set to embark on 5 sprint laps before racing concluded. Price, once again hammered down consistent lap times, within 4 seconds of each other, across the day to claim 4th outright and 4th in the PRO class.

“I was super happy with my riding today, just backing it off slightly to avoid making a mistake. The second track the times were really close and I had some great battles with Western Australian Nathan Howe. He was pushing me all day and we were only separated by 4 seconds at the end of racing. I rode smooth and pushed where I felt comfortable and consistency paid off. Overall I really enjoyed the day and am looking forward to improving for next round.”

It was a great start to young Will’s 2019 SAORC campaign. The following 2 rounds will take place at Wanbi on the 22nd / 23rd June as riders begin to prepare for the deep sandy terrain and longer enduro format.

Will would like to give a huge thank you to all his sponsors and everyone who supports his racing.

VETERANS 35-44 YEARS; MASTERS 45+ YEARS; OPEN WOMEN

J4; 15 YEARS (125-200cc 2 stroke & 200-250cc 4 stroke)

SO, WHO TO WATCH OUT FOR;

Reigning SA#1 and 2018 SAORC Outright Champion, Andy Wilksch (above), will have his work cut out to keep the title this year, especially with challenges like Will Price & Cooper Sheidow (below) looking to move up the leader board in 2019!

SENIORS

In the senior classes there should be a great battle for the outright, and the PRO Class between the current SA#1, Victorian Andy Wilksch, keen to keep his hard earned #1 plate for a 2nd year, and Riley Graham, who started the 2019 SAMX Championships last weekend well, and also capped 2018 with a maiden win in the famous 24 Hour Trial – but – look out for a couple of young upstarts to spoil their party!

Newly promoted to Pro Class, Will Price & Cooper Sheidow will be out to prove that last year’s top 5 outright placings as first year senior riders was no flash in the pan, and both have started the AORC (Australian Championship) in good form!

And with riders seeded by their first heat times, from heat 2 onwards these 4 riders could well be covered by 30 seconds, or less, on the track – will be some awesome viewing!

Possibly not far behind will be a couple of former juniors stepping up into the senior classes for the first time, 2018 MSA Rising Star nominee & SA#1 junior in 2018, Rory Hill, and former Australian Junior Champion (AORC) and MSA Rising Star winner, Jayden Rudd, who missed most of his final junior year last year with injury!

Look for these two outstanding talents to do what Will & Cooper did last year and upset all the established riders in the battle for top 10 outright honours!

The Clubman Classes have been well supported this year and make up a bulk of the field, with almost 80 entries received across the 3 classes, and there is so much talent in these classes, picking possible podiums before round 1 has proven almost impossible!

However, there will also be action aplenty, with MSA Rising Star nominees from 2018, Max Price & Jared Watson debuting in C2 & C3 Classes, plus they will also see the return of former Off Road guns, and current road race guns, the Simpson brothers, with Olly & Jordy in C1 and Mitch in C2.

(From left) New to seniors, Jared Watson & Rory Hill will be looking to upset the established seniors, while Charlie Milton will be looking for the SA#1 junior plate in 2019!

JUNIORS

An outstanding total entry of 90+ juniors have entered for this weekend’s opening round, spread across the 5 classes, and like the seniors, it is virtually impossible to pick possible podiums with no form to go by, such is the quality of the entries (in the J2 – J4 classes at least, as most are returning riders, with JJ & J1 made up of a lot of newbies to the Championship)

Some names to watch out for though are;

In J4, Charlie Milton, 3rd in the AORC in 2018, this MSA Rising Star nominee from 2018 will possibly start favourite to lift the SA#1 Junior plate this year, and had a solid start to his AORC campaign last month. Look for Charlie to lead the way.

In J3, AORC regular, Max Leibeknecht, will be at the pointy end of the class, as will a famous name in Haydon, with Kyan being the 2nd generation of his family to take up the SAORC challenge, with the multi discipline (enduro, speedway, motocross & trial) talented Clay Burnett one to watch as well!

In J2 keep an eye out for Emma Haylock, who has started her motocross year with some outstanding form and results, and could well be the dark horse in this class in 2019!

FREE ENTRY FOR SPECTATORS, HOT & COLD FOOD & DRINKS, 200 RIDERS WITH SOME OUTSTANDING SOUTH AUSTRALIAN TALENT – MOUNT CRAWFORD FOREST IS THE PLACE TO BE THIS SUNDAY!
