WHAT YOU’RE WATCHING!

This weekend will see well over 200 riders take up the challenge of the SAORC for 2019, with the riders entered in a number of classes, which cater for all levels of riders, and are;

SENIOR;

PRO; the best of the best who will fight for the SA#1 plate

EXPERT EO; CLUBMAN C1, CLUBMAN C2, CLUBMAN C3

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

JUNIOR;

JJ; 8-11 YEARS (65cc 2 stroke)

J1; 9-11 YEARS (85cc 2 stroke & up to 150cc 4 stroke, standard small wheels only)

J3; 13-14 YEARS (125-200cc 2 stroke & 200-250cc 4 stroke)

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!

EAGLE TRAILERS & CAMPERS 2019 SA MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS TO LAUNCH OUT THE GATE THIS WEEKEND AT RENMARK!

May 10, 2019 Filed Under: Motocross, News, SAMX Championship, State Championship

EAGLE TRAILERS & CAMPERS 2019 SA MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS TO LAUNCH OUT THE GATE THIS WEEKEND AT RENMARK!

After whetting the appetite with the EP Series and the King of the Gulf meetings, this weekend sees round 1 of the 2019 SA Motocross Championships, partnered again by the brilliant crew from Eagle Trailers & Campers, with support from Butler’s Mechanical Services and Titanium Security Arena.

As in 2018, the Riverland JMC is hosting round 1 at their Renmark venue, which is located on the Sturt Highway at Renmark (Be aware turning off the highway it is in a 110kmh zone, so please take care!).

Almost 230 entries have been received for the opening round, and looking through the entry list, it is very much the cream of the crop when it comes to motocross in South Australia, so heading to Renmark will be a great way to see some fantastic racing across all classes, junior and senior.

One rider to watch this weekend will be SA’s outstanding junior rider, Alex Larwood (pictured below), current double Australian Champion and recently selected Australian team member to the 2019 World Junior Motocross Championships to be held in Russia later this year.

Being a 2 day event, with juniors on Saturday and seniors on Sunday (as well as Junior 250cc), camping is permitted at the venue with showers available (with a small donation that can be paid at the canteen).

Speaking of the canteen – hot and cold food and drinks will be available all weekend, with some prime viewing spots for all.

Admission for spectators is also aimed at being family friendly;

Saturday;   Adults $5.00       Juniors $2.00

Sunday       Adults $10.00     Juniors $5.00

Gates open at 6.00am both days with practice starting from 8.00am

Event programmes also available – get yours to follow the action!

Not a bad view of the great venue that opens the 2019 SA Motocross Championships, and just a few of the super talented female MX stars SA boasts at the moment (from left) Aimee Butler, Steph Cutler, Tarja Morris & Emma Haylock, along with Emma’s dad, Ian.

The junior action on Saturday will be full on, and worth getting to Renmark to watch the outstanding future of the sport here in SA!

2019 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN RELIABILITY TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY AT TARLEE.

May 3, 2019 Filed Under: News, Reliability, State Championship

 

2019 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN RELIABILITY TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY AT TARLEE.

This Saturday (tomorrow) sees the 2019 SART Championship kick off with the first of 7 rounds, the Galwer MCC’s Phillip Haydon Reliability Trial, which will start with about 140 entries, solo and sidecar, at the oval of the small mid-north town of Tarlee at midday!

Run in honour of 2 time 24 Hour Trial winner, the late Phillip Haydon, this traditional season opener once again looks to be a dry affair, with little rain falling in the area, and what has fallen in the past 2 days not enough to quell the dust!

However, if you are heading out to watch, perhaps put in a rain jacket, as it wouldn’t be the first time that the first decent and heavy rains of the season have started to fall not long after bike #1 starts their 6 hour journey in this event!

Spectators won’t have far to go to watch some great action, with a competitive section right next to the main control, with some of SA’s junior talent on show between laps on this part of the course to keep all entertained.

So, with free entry for spectators, a fully catered event at Main Control, bring along a deck chair and sit down to watch some great 2, AND 3, wheeled action during the afternoon and into the evening of this day/night event.

    

Here’s all the low down of the day;
