INTERNATIONAL UPDATE FROM 4 TALENTED SOUTH AUSSIES!

INTERNATIONAL UPDATE FROM 4 TALENTED SOUTH AUSSIES!

Connor Hogan at the Trial GP 2019 Japan
After qualifying well inside the top 15 for round 2 of the Trial2 World Championship, Connor Hogan had a tough weekend at Motegi in Japan;
“A tough weekend for me here in Japan, with nothing really going right. Very muddy and slippery conditions across the two days. My riding wasn’t great on Saturday but I felt much more comfortable Sunday. However, I simply did not have luck on my side, I had many 5’s due to unforeseen problems inside the sections. Ended up 28th two days in a row which is very frustrating. Thanks to Dad for filling in as minder for the weekend.”

Brian Anthony at the Sidecar-cross World Championship, Estonia
After scoring points in his first GP last weekend in France, this weekend was a bit tougher for Brian Anthony in Estonia;
“Kivioli GP was a tough one, in the qualification race I tweaked my leg/knee, which got was sore and I had a dead leg so struggled quite a lot with it.
Race one; we had a pretty good start from second row but got hit by another bike in the back which was no problem, but then in the next right turn we came together again, causing us to crash and Joe hit his hand on a post, but we kept on but with no googles and long way back, but in the end we decided to pull in to the pits to save ourselves for race 2.
In race 2 we had a good start again, but I had a lot of trouble with the leg/knee, I knew what I needed to do but had no power in my leg at all giving us bad stability on the bike. Then, to top off a tough weekend, with only few laps to go the engine started cutting out after quarter throttle, so we had to pull out unfortunately.
No excuses, races don’t stop for things like this, but we/I take positives out of it, as I learnt lots and my physical condition felt OK except for the leg/knee. So, will work on sorting that and keep working to do what I feel I can do, its certainly not easy but I wouldn’t be here if it was, I’d have stayed at home. And I finally got to go to the Kivioli GP, one I’d wanted to go to for so long! Week off next week then come back stronger at next German championship.”

Liam May in Germany
“Unfortunately I had to pull out of last night’s meeting in Gustrow due to a serious crash in race 2 resulting in a head and shoulder injury, also have withdrawn from the meeting in Herning Monday.
Hopefully I’ll be fit for next week in Czech Republic and Poland.
Thank you to all the medics and people who helped out!”

Brayden McGuiness in Europe!
Brayden had a busy weekend travelling around the north of Europe, taking in multiple countries, with some mixed results.
Friday night in Germany 6 points finishing 9th, 1 point short of a semi birth, with the meeting having 2 semis as per the Speedway GP format
After driving through the night to get to his Saturday Night Division 1 Teams Meeting, it was, unfortunately, rained off
And to finish the weekend off, Sunday night he scored 9 points in an open meeting at in Herning, Denmark

THIS EASTER WEEKEND IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA!

April 17, 2019 Filed Under: All disciplines, Dirt Track, Motocross, News, Road Racing, Speedway, Trials

THIS EASTER WEEKEND IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA!

So, what’s on in South Oz this Easter weekend – well, there’s a bit on to satisfy most really!

Let’s have a look!

Saturday night – Final Sidewinders meeting for the season – the President’s Cup & ANZAC meeting

For those not in the know, Sidewinders is a junior speedway club for children aged 4 years to 16 years. They race 125cc solos, 250cc sidecars, and mini bikes.

Join them for their ANZAC and Presidents Cup meeting. A meeting in honour of our ANZACs and to present the Presidents Trophy.

This is their last meeting of the season, so let’s support their juniors who have made the Sidewinders season such a success.

Gates open at 4.30pm with the pits open until practise starts for all to have a wander amongst the bikes. Full canteen open all night and easy access for all.

North Terrace, Wingfield – the venue to see tomorrow’s champions in action – today!

Friday to Sunday – Mount Gambier’s Mac Park hosts the 2nd round of the SA Road Race Championships, which is run alongside the Easter Cup

Easter weekend will see McNamara Park Raceway come alive with round 2 of the SA Road race Championships run in conjunction with the BEARS National Challenge and the annual Mac Park Easter Cup.

Strong fields will be contesting all classes so the racing should again prove spectacular.

Last year’s winner and current State Championship leader William Strugnell will again be the rider to beat, but several local riders will be looking for good results.

Mac Park regulars Darren Trotter and Rusty Crane will line up on their 1000cc Superbikes and hope their experience and track knowledge will work in their favour.

Australian Superbike Championship Supersport contender Dallas Skeer will again line up, and with his experience in the national series will be looking to go one better than his runner up spot in 2018.

Qualifying will take place on Saturday morning with racing starting around midday and continuing all day Sunday, concluding with the Easter Cup feature race.

As usual, the canteen will be open all weekend with bar facilities available in the afternoons. Entry is $10.00 per day or $15.00 for the weekend.

Saturday & Sunday – Port Pirie host their annual King of the Gulf MX

Port Pirie host the SA motocross season opener & its first major event for the year – the Port Pirie MCC’s annual Easter pilgrimage to their track for the long running ‘King of the Gulf’ meeting – which will also feature the ‘Prince of the Gulf’ and ‘Classic King of the Gulf’ events as well – plus the running of the 2019 ‘SA Women’s Motocross Cup’!

The Port Pirie Club are also excited to announce some great partnerships for all 4 feature events in 2019, and thank them for their continued support of these events, the Port Pirie MCC and motorcycle sport here in SA;

King of the Gulf; Boats & Bikes Port Pirie 

SA Women’s Motocross Cup; Hallett Concrete

Prince of the Gulf; Nyrstar

Classic King of the Gulf; Smart Refrigeration

Where else would you rather be at Easter – great viewing to be had at this family friendly venue, and, the awesome Port Pirie canteen will be in action all weekend with hold & cold food & drinks, and there will also be full bar facilities.

Best ‘Do a Molly’ – and – do yourself a favour and get to any of these great events over the Easter weekend!!

Also –

A large(ish) contingent of the Trials SA crew will be making the long trek to ride the Glenmaggie Easter Trial, at Glenmaggie, just the other side of Traralgon in South East Victoria, which is Australia’s biggest yearly trial outside of the Australian Championships, and on an amazing property that is the traditional home of the event. A great way to kick off the season of trials for many riders around the country.

Good luck also to all of our South Australian speedway sidecar teams that have made, or are making the long trek north for this weekend’s Australian Junior & Senior Sidecar Championships, which are being held at Pioneer Park Speedway, which is in Brendon in Queensland. A long drive after the World Cup & Oceania Championships, to end what has been a full on season for the teams.

Plus;

Broadford is on as well!

With the Easter long weekend fast approaching, the Shannons Insurance Broadford Bike Bonanza (SIBBB) is once again high on the lists of many as a ‘must see’!

The 2019 SIBBB runs from 19-21 April at the Broadford State Motorcycle Complex, Victoria.

Don’t delay on this fantastic opportunity to see featured, some of Australia’s most prestigious competitors, including Jason and Phil Crump!

The SIBBB is also bringing out an amazing number of sidecars this year. What started as an idea to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the release of the Honda 750/4 morphed into the golden question: “Did you know the first Honda 750 in Australia brought in ahead of the official release was destined for a sidecar motor?”

Landing upon such a substantially valuable nugget of information kicked the Motorcycling Australia Museum & Heritage Committee into action, introducing a new three wheeled push at the annual Shannons Insurance Broadford Bike Bonanza (SIBBB).

The 2019 SIBBB will showcase sidecars from a variety of disciplines and coveted eras, with the different eras of development characterized by the era in which they were originally made.

Stay tuned on all SIBBB news and updates as they roll in via the Motorcycling Australia website, Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to follow the SIBBB Facebook page for further real time updates!

USA #1 Speedway Sidecar rider Joe Jones and his sponsor Chuck O’Banion visit Sidewinders

April 4, 2019 Filed Under: Dirt Track, News, Speedway

Sidewinders had a surprise visit to their March 29th Meeting, when USA #1 Sidecar rider Joe Jones and his sponsor Chuck O’Banion came down to watch the kids.  Joe spent time with the kids, having photos taken with them and signing autographs.
At the end of the night he presented Encouragement Awards to some of the young riders, on behalf of Kingpin Diesel.

Both Joe and Chuck were most impressed with our junior Speedway venue here in South Australia , which is of course not much smaller than Costa Mesa in the States, dedicated to Juniors.
Sidewinders would like to thank Joe for his time with them, and they, and all of us, wish him well for the weekend’s events at Gillman.

And why is Joe here in SA – well, this weekend will see a massive weekend of Speedway Sidecar action sees the two most prestigious events in the world of Speedway Sidecar running back-to-back in a doubleheader of epic proportions at Gillman Speedway Stadium, South Australia (SA). The 2019 FIM Speedway Sidecar World Cup will decide the World’s greatest Speedway Sidecar riders on Saturday night (6 April), before the racing returns less than 24 hours later to stage the re-running of the 2019 FIM Oceania Speedway Sidecar Championship.
