VICTORIA’S RILEY PLUM TAKES OUT THE SA JUNIOR SOLO SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIP

December 19, 2019 Filed Under: News, Speedway, State Championship

Victoria’s Riley Plum takes out the SA Junior Solo Speedway Championship

Sidewinders Under 16 Speedway Club Inc hosted the South Australian Championship meeting last Saturday night, the 14th of December under cool but clear skies.

Originally they had 12 riders so the 13 rider race format was used, with one gap, however Lucius Payne and Jake Fleet scratched from the meeting during the week to bring it back to an 11 rider field to decide the Championship.

The format didn’t change however, and they stuck with the 13 rider format because it was the only fair way to do it for all riders.

It was Riley Plum’s second visit to the Sidewinders track at Wingfield, and the last time he was here he won the ANZAC Meeting, so he is now striking at 100% as he took out the final after being the top pointscorer in the heats.

Riley led home 2019 MSA Rising Star nominee, Ashley Jansen-Batchelor in the final, with Harry Sadler 3rd and Riley McCarthy rounding out the top 4 who made the final.

Looking down the field just a bit, there were also some encouraging performances, like;

Noah Grabham had his first Sidewinders experience and did very well in making the semi-final, and,

Allegra Laanekorb, who only joined the race class at the second meeting of the season, this was her 5th meeting, and scored a 2nd and two 3rd’s from her four heat rides.

At the other end though, a shout out must go to Lewis Monaghan, who, try as he might, had a night from hell, but no doubt will bounce back next time out.

It was a good night’s racing, with a very good crowd, and no major incidents.

Semi Final; 43.58 seconds

  1. R)   Harry Sadler   1st
  2. B)   Noah Grabham    2nd
  3. W)  Nicholas Possingham   3rd
  4. Y)   Travis Clarke    4th

Solo Final; 43.15 seconds

  1. R)   Riley Plum    1st
  2. W)  Ashley Jansen-Batchelor   2nd
  3. Y)   Harry Sadler    3rd
  4. B)   Riley McCarthy   4th

Sidewinders would like to thank and highlight;

Thank you to Monaghan Logistics for their support of the 2019 SA Junior Solo Championship, and to Tony & Karen from Mongrel Motorsport Accessories for their prizes for the riders.Congratulations to all riders who took part tonight, particularly those who traveled long distances to be there.

A few tears were shed on the night as we gave our “Gentle Giant” Nicholas Possingham a well-deserved send off on his final night of junior racing. We thank Nicholas for the great work he has done during his time at the club, and wish him the very best for his senior career.

And a huge thanks to David & Jack from PACC for the great shots from the SA Solo Title – photo credits to them indeed!!

SIDEWINDERS RELEASE THEIR 2019/20 CALENDAR OF EVENTS!

The Sidewinders Under 16 Speedway Club have released their 2019 / 20 calendar of events for the upcoming season, and once again it looks to be an action packed summer of slides at their North Terrace, Wingfield venue.

As always, the crew at Sidewinders will be catering for riders of all ages, from 4 years to under 16 years, and boys – and most definitely girls – of all abilities.

So, if a summer of watching the kids go sideways while watching some ripper sunsets is your idea of a great Saturday (and one Friday) night out, then contact the Club, either through the Motorcycling SA website (on the Club Directory page), or through their social media outlets (Facebook) to get all the information.

With thanks to Joylene Lee Archer and the other photographers for their brilliant work!

Well done, Brayden.

July 23

Great night last night at Belle Vue racing for the Colts against the Isle of Wight. Quite an eventful evening including me winning a heat on a rim, my tyre spun off in the first bend! Some more great experience under my belt, and I think I’ve got my starts sorted out 👌. Massive meeting at Glasgow tonight against the Eastbourne Eagles, and a massive day of cleaning and working on bikes in preparation, see you all trackside!

Thank you very much to Brian Schofield for the awesome sponsorship, I really appreciate it!

July 27

It’s the big day! Leicester Vs Glasgow, this should be a great meeting! I’ve had some much needed sleep and I’m raring to go

Hard meeting at home for me against the Leicester Lions. I scored 0 but I worked as hard as I could, chasing down the best riders on the other team in my heats. Scunthorpe tomorrow, let’s hope for a few points! Thanks very much to Matthew for all the hard work in the pit. 🙂

I would like to thank my sponsors:

July 27 & 28, Latvia

GP10 was good one Latvia really know how to put on a show. The whole facility is a total Paradise.

Race one we had a good start, I think about 7th but had a big moment on the table top in first lap, but was ok then later had a small crash which dropped us back a bit was super hard on the riders arms but finished 14th. Race 2 was a good hard race with the track getting rough and the heat was really difficult but we all had same conditions and 23 jumps per lap we managed to finish 11th giving us 12th overall for the day scoring another 17points and my highest finish in the world championships so far!

Thank you very much Christophe and Team Cuche, Lara, the kids and everyone else that helps from warm-ups and advise to just giving me encouragement and good luck wishes.

OVERSEAS ROUND UP; SOUTH AUSSIES SMASHIN’ IT OVER THE 13 & 14 JULY WEEKEND!

July 15, 2019 Filed Under: Motocross, News, SAMX Championship, Speedway, Trials

OVERSEAS ROUND UP; SOUTH AUSSIES SMASHIN’ IT OVER THE 13 & 14 JULY WEEKEND!

Again, a number of South Aussies were smashin’ it in Europe over the weekend, and in 4 different disciplines – motocross, trial, speedway & sidecarcross – here’s the rundown on how our local talent went;

Brayden Mcguiness

Brayden had some excellent results in the Slovenian Championship over the weekend.

Overall he finished 2nd in the Under 21 Class and was an outstanding 5th overall in the Championship. Awesome stuff!

Lillie Yiatrou

15 year old Lillie had an awesome debut Qualifying, nailing it for 11th (out of 16) from her 2 runs, with a great time and 1 point lost, which put her in a great spot on track for her debut GP the next day.

From Lillie’s mum, Paula; Well, our first round on the GP circuit has been a hell of a roller coaster! Lillie placed 13th.

Really happy with that and a harder standard than she normally rides back home in Australia. Now we head to next week’s round 2 in Auron, France.

Brian Anthony

GP9 (Germany) was overall a good GP with Team Cuche we had few engine dramas in race 1 unfortunately resulting in a DNF whilst in a points scoring position and race 2 we had a pretty good race finishing 14th scoring another 7 points and ticking off two more goals I set myself to finish top 15 and on the lead lap which isn’t too easy with how fast these guys are!

Overall must be happy as it was our first race together and it takes time to get comfortable. Thanks Lara and the kids for being by my side always and to everyone who helps and encourages me and the few people that really go out of their way to help on and off the bike, from advise from the top guys, to letting me warm up and training with them and support through the week, even just for somewhere to wash our clothes etc. it’s very appreciated!

Bring on the next race I want more!

NICE speedway challenge 11/07/19

I was lucky enough to pick up a ride at an individual meeting here in the UK at the Isle of Wight.

The NICE challenge is an event where all riders are supplied an engine (JAWA 2 valve) to showcase how individual skill and knowledge can separate the field.

Unfortunately tonight I had a bit of bad luck, my first and second race I had an incident with the air fence (crashed) excluding me for stopping the race both times.
Third heat came and I made an excellent start from gate 4 to lead for 3/4 of a lap before starting to struggle and have a fall on the last corner of the last lap!!
Last race came and I had made a few changes to the setup as time allowed and I made an excellent gate again and rode it all the way the chequered flag!

Thank you to everyone that helped me to be a part of the challenge, I appreciate it! 
I know to stay on my bike next time 

Massive thank you to Josh Moss for driving 4+ hours to help spin spanners for me

Connor Bailey

Had another great night tonight at Glasgow, beating my PB points score again with 6! Learned plenty, and I’m finally getting my starts up to pace. Thanks to Craig for letting me have that one!  Also thanks very much to Graeme Martin for mechanic-ing for me, I really appreciate it!

Thanks very much to Graeme Martin for helping me out last night in the pits, thanks for helping everything run smoothly. Also thanks to Ciaran for helping me pack up, you definitely know your stuff and you’re gonna make a great mechanic some day

Alex Larwood

Alex rode the World Junior Motocross Championships over the weekend in Trentino, Italy as part of Team Australia, and in one of the hottest fields and tightly contested classes at the Championships, Alex fought through Qualifying to qualify 24th (of 40) in his group and missed the automatic entry to the main races.

He then had to go into Last Chance Qualification and had to finish in the top 5 to go through. He finished 6th (of 38) and missed out – by only .416 of a second – and was the 2nd reserve for the 125cc class.

While heartbreaking to miss out by such a small margin, Alex, was still a fine representative and ambassador for his country and for himself.

Connor Hogan

After a less than successful Qualifying that netted 2 fives, Connor bounced back in the Trial GP in Portugal to finish a great 22nd in the Trial2 Class, in what was a hotly contested class, and with positions changing by the section, Connor was as high at 17th and as low as 24th before the end of the event.

Like Lillie, he now heads to Auron in France for the next round this coming weekend.

SO – if you know of any other South Aussies riding overseas, please let us know who and what they are up to and how they are going by emailing; projects@motorcyclingsa.org.au with all the details – and a pic or 2 – and especially if the venue is as awesome as the Portugal round of the Trial GP (below) – Qualifying section was in the middle of the town, with vantage points at a premium!
