Returning this weekend after a brief hiatus, the SA Road Race Championships, presented by Cafnix, are set to bring Mallala back to life as Round 3 takes to the grid. Marking the championship’s halfway point, class outright positions are still completely up for grabs as South Australia’s fastest road racers put it all on the line over two huge days of racing. Joining the SA Championship class lineup this weekend are the Steve Martin/Peter Kerr Cup and the Reece Bancell Cup.
Entry List:
As anticipation builds for the upcoming Mallala Superbike Championship weekend, all eyes are poised on Charles Holding, the current leader of the 2024 Superbike Championship, edging ahead by just a single point over his closest rival, Brad Raethel. Meanwhile, Michael Kemp remains a potent contender, trailing a mere 17 points behind Raethel. The burning question on everyone’s mind: will we witness a new Championship leader emerge from the thrilling battles of this weekend, or will Charles Holding continue to tighten his grip on the overall standings?
Turning our attention to the Supersport class, where the championship race remains tantalizingly open, the spotlight falls on current leader, Sam Pezzetta of Unitech Racing. With Charles Holding nipping at his heels, trailing by a mere 3 points, Pezzetta faces the challenge of maintaining his lead. With just 29 points separating the top contender from sixth place, the Mallala circuit is primed for a potential shakeup of the leaderboard. Keep a keen eye on contenders like Ryder Gilbert, newcomer Callum Morrison, and Mitch Radford, as they inject an extra dose of excitement into the competition.
In the realm of the Supersport 300 Championship, Ghage Plowman returns to defend his lead with a slender 18-point advantage over the burgeoning talent of Ryder Gilbert. Alongside Plowman, stalwarts of the SS300 class, including Jordan Simpson and Cooper Pitt, prepare to show off their skills on the track. Adding to the intrigue is the return of “Tornado” Tara Morrison, making a comeback to the SA Championship start grid after recovering from an injury sustained in SA’s Road Race Championship Round 1. With recent appearances in the ASBK Championships and the Pirelli Motul Victorian Road Racing Championship under her belt, Morrison appears poised to challenge the frontrunners and inject fresh energy into the competition.
Meanwhile, the junior riders return to showcase the future of SA road race talent. With current Championship leader Judd Plaisted absent from this round, Ethan Dellow seizes the opportunity to narrow the 27-point gap. However, the competitive landscape intensifies with the return of Seth Dellow and Ghage Plowman, promising a fierce battle for supremacy in round 3 at Mallala.
