Results – 2024 SA Road Racing Championships Round 2 Bring The Easter Treats To Mac Park

April 2, 2024 Filed Under: News, Road Racing, State Championship

Round 2 of the SA Road Race Championships, featuring the traditional Easter Cup and Oz Bears Championship opener, was run and won last weekend at Mac Park, presented by the Mount Gambier Motorcycle Club. Tarmac racing fans, young and old, made the traditional long weekend road trip to be trackside for a full weekend of action and were certainly not disappointed.

Saturday saw the weekend kick off with exceptionally tight racing, gearing crowds up for a huge weekend ahead, and despite the Sunday race program experiencing a delay due to heavy fog early on, crowds braved it out to witness the schedule getting back underway and the racing heating back up as last-minute points dashes finished the weekend. As the class results tightened up and new leaders emerged, let’s take a look at some of the weekend highlights before we get onto the round results –

Heating up the SA Superbike Championship class, Brad Raethel and Charles Holding kept crowds guessing who could take the round overall as they played musical chairs with podium first and second throughout the weekend races. Raethel ended up with the upper hand, taking both the Championship round overall win and Easter Cup ahead of Charles Holding.  He now trails Holding on the Championship table by just one point.

We now have a new Supersport 600 Championship leader after holding his own in some pretty heated top 5 position battles. Unitech Racing’s Sam Pezzetta progressed from a 5th and 4th over his first 2 races to claiming his first SS600 race win in race 3, giving him the round win for the weekend, and now sits 3 points ahead of Ryder Gilbert.

Claiming his first SS600 Championship podium with 2nd in race 3, Championship newcomer & current 4th place overall, Callum Morrison showed that he will be one to challenge the leaderboard if he can keep this momentum firing.

Declan Carberry showed off what a Honda 450 Motard can do, and after borrowing it for the weekend, he took it right to the top step of the Lightweight Easter Cup with a convincing 30-second win over 10 laps in front of Ghage Plowman. He also doubled up to secure second place in the Limited Championship class after a back-and-forth tit-for-tat battle with the round winner, Kev (Anthony) Stephens.

Increasing his Junior Championship lead with a clean sweep of wins, Judd Plaisted is showing he is a force to be reckoned with and will give plenty of senior riders a run for their money in the near future. Keeping himself busy over the weekend, he not only broke the Junior Class lap record of 1:24.750 set by Rikki Henry in 2022 with a flying 1:24.457 in race 1. He then went on to break his own record-setting the bar even lower with a 1:23.692 in the third Juniors race.

In the end, Judd charged on to claim both the Junior Easter Cup and the Junior Championship round 2 win ahead of brothers Seth and Ethan Dellow. All eyes are firmly set on Judd to see if he can continue his top-step run for a perfect 2024.

Riders and teams can enjoy a well-earned short break before the Championship Round 3 moves to the Mallala Motorsport Park for the first time this year over the 24th to the 26th of May with CAFNIX. Entries are currently open through Ridernet with entries closing on the 15th of May and final late entries locking off on the 18th of May 2024.

PRESS RELEASE: SAORC – LOOKING FORWARD TO 2024, AND BEYOND!

March 19, 2024 Filed Under: Enduro, News, SAORC

After a tough couple of years where the SA Off Road Championship (SAORC) has struggled to keep pace with the rest of the sport of motorcycling here in South Australia, with host clubs struggling to find venues big enough to suitably host the growth of the sport, 2024 is seeing a much-needed resurgence, with an injection of new faces stepping up to ensure the discipline of Enduro doesn’t get left behind.

In conjunction with the MSA Office, the charge for SAORC is now being led by the Throup brothers, Sean and Tristan, and they have landed very much on the front foot and are already breaking through barriers to ensure the Championship not only survives but starts to grow and get better and more viable as each season goes by.

So far they have been talking to a number of Clubs and land owners, both old and new, about a return to the proven SAORC formula, used for so many years of a rotating Championship, so Clubs aren’t expected to run rounds each year, so their members don’t burn out, and also to give their land owners and their properties time to recover after their use, which would ensure their use for many years to come.

The brothers have also been talking to potential sponsors, again, both old and new, to, not only support the Championship, but also the organising clubs to assist with the costs associated with running these events. Top this, they have a fantastic sponsorship package, that can be made available for any potential sponsors who may be keen to come onboard.

Of course, they can’t get it all done by themselves, so if you are keen to jump on the ‘Throup Train’, hit the lads up by email and let them know what you can offer!

SO – to 2024! 2024 sees the 2024 Championship jump from four (4) rounds in 2023, to a confirmed six (6) rounds in 2024, with the possibility of an extra two (2) rounds still to be confirmed, with 2 rounds also hosting rounds of the 2024 Australian Off Road Championship (AORC).

 

At present the 2024 SAORC calendar has shaped up like this:

Round 1 Saturday May 11 Black Hill Velocette MCC Sprint
Round 2 Sunday May 12 Black Hill Velocette MCC Sprint
Round 3 Saturday August 24 Kingston SE Green Triangle TBC *AORC
Round 4  Sunday August 25 Kingston SE Green Triangle TBC *AORC
Round 5 Saturday September 21 ACUSA Park Velocette MCC Sprint
Round 6 Sunday September 22 ACUSA Park Velocette MCC Sprint

There is also the possibility of an extra 2 rounds being added – with the weekend of June 22 & 23 slated as the preferred date – so 2 weeks after Finke and 2 weeks before Hattah – and note the change of this date from the original date released last December, which was in July.

SAORC is, at present, the second largest Championship series on the Motorcycling SA calendar, so the need for a united crew putting together an exciting Championship for all who enter is an absolute must.

 

The Track Awaits: Previewing the 2024 Web Plastics SA Road Race Championships Round 1 Opener

March 14, 2024 Filed Under: News, Road Racing

The first chapter of the 2024 Webb Plastics SA Road Racing Championship story is all set to start from the 15th to 17 of March at theShell V Power Motorsport Park. Proudly presented by CAFNIX, this will run right alongside the opening rounds of the Pirelli Motul Victorian Road Racing Championship & the Australian Sidecar Championships – all thanks to the fantastic work of both CAFNIX and Victoria’s Preston MCC.

Practice is set to kick off on Friday, followed by two scorching days of racing, as fans, young and old, converge on South Australia’s premier motorsport venue. If you’re thinking that anything else could rival SA & Vic’s fastest road racers taking to the fan-favourite circuit, along with 20 of the best sidecar competitors in Australia, you would be one hundred per cent wrong. 

Entry List

With the return of many familiar faces and several class changes for the new year, the Championship could see numerous new frontrunners emerge, with Round 1 offering an ideal start to their charge. Let’s take a closer look at some of the riders to watch out for…

Returning to the forefront of the SA Superbike Championship class, the reigning 2023 Champion, Michael Kemp, and runner-up, Charles Holding, are gearing up to defend their titles against the incoming challengers of Ty Lynch & Olly Simpson. Making their debut in the premier class for 2024, Lynch & Simpson are poised to leave their mark on the competition standings, adding to an already stacked field of competitors.

Embracing a fresh challenge on a new bike, Samuel Pezzetta has made his debut in the SS600 class for the new year, quickly adapting to the demands of his new environment. However, he faces formidable opponents in the likes of 2023 SS600 Champion Charles Holding and the returning talent Olly Simpson. Their presence ensures that Pezzetta’s journey won’t be an easy one. Adding to the excitement of the fresh faces in the SS600 class, Ryder Gilbert will be taking on double duties this weekend, seizing the opportunity to compete in both the SS600 and SS300 classes.

Still riding high from her first ASBK podium, Tara Morrison, the SS300 runner-up of 2023, returns determined to showcase her skills against a lineup of returning talent, including Ryder Gilbert, Phoenix Agar, and Jordan Simpson. Mixing it with a field of 23 fearless riders, it could be anyone’s SS300 podium dream weekend.

Of course, where would the sport be without the next generation of fearless road racers making their way through the ranks? This weekend will feature both Seth and Ethan Dellow, who secured second and third place respectively in the 2023 Championship, both eager to secure crucial early Championship points. However, they’ll face stiff competition from the talents of Xayvion Amoy, Judd Plaisted, and Ghage Plowman, all ready to throw their hats into the ring.

Adding to the excitement, fans will be treated to world-class sidecar racing with Round 2 of the Australian Sidecar Championships taking place over the two days. In the formidable 19-competitor field,  the 2023 Australian Sidecar Championship team of Jamie Crass & Lee Menzies will be looking at making the moves early on in the competition. However, don’t overlook the homegrown talent and previous Isle of Man racing expertise of Royce Rowe he joins the field with Leonard Rowe, fresh from testing the new bike at Mallala.

Further enriching the packed schedule, spectators can anticipate plenty of bar-to-bar racing as SA/VRRC Limited sport bikes, Naked Bike & Pre-Modern 00/08/13 all take their turn in the spotlight on the track this weekend.

RUMBLINGS FROM THE GRAVE AT PORT PIRIE, OR RE-BUILDING THE LEGACY OF A BYGONE ERA!

February 28, 2024 Filed Under: News, Speedway

Motorcycling SA just spent the weekend of February 24 & 25 in the mid north of the state, running a level 1 Coaching Course at Crystal Brook, but on the Saturday evening, and with the blessing of Neil Burston, MSA took the chance to have a sneaky look at the works being done to an iconic piece of Motorcycling SA history, the Port Pirie Longtrack!

Entering the property (on foot) and walking past the Go-Kart circuit towards the track still circled by light towers long since having shone bright, relics of meetings past appear out of the saltbush, like the old ticket box, now without a roof, open to the elements and with saltbush growing inside and out, the old toilet block in the same state, as well as random machinery, having gone years untouched and now hard to see!

Getting closer, the track can now be seen, almost, now circled by the new rubber fence that has been mounted on the old posts, but before getting to see the track, you are confronted with the old ‘booth’ (bar) and canteen – and like the ticket box, they are both in a state of disrepair.

But – it’s certainly not hard to see the ghosts from the past, leaning on a fence, enjoying a brew while talking racing, during and at the end of the day, or seeing some excited kids race over to grab a pie with sauce or a snag in bread and then race back to the edge of the track to see the next race and not miss a second of the action.

The walk continued, past the original race control tower, already showing signs of re-birth and ready to oversee the action on the track when it returns, to the old pits, with its rusted fences barely keeping out the many rabbits that now call the place home.

Walking through the pits to the track gate, it’s not hard to hear the engines being warmed up and riders donning helmets for their next race around this iconic track, and when you walk through the gate and onto the track proper, you can see the amount of work that has been done and you can only applaud the drive that Neil and his team of volunteers have shown to revive this once great race track.

New surface and new fence, it makes you just feel the speed and the close racing that this track is going to produce once opened – and it’s only then how much you realise that the sport here in SA has, unknowingly, missed this venue, for nearly 30 odd years – and that once it opens, motorcycle racing fans are going the realise the same!

There is still a lot of work to go – but the pivotable part is now done from the walk around – the track and the safety wall – and it’s now just waiting to be raced on – and the signs are there that the back straight will be a place to watch, with dirt being bought in to raise the spectator areas above the new fence, making for prime viewing, plus, a brand new toilet block is now in the pit area.

So, whether its late in 2024, or perhaps early in 2025, when this icon of motorcycle sport in SA does once again ask for entries, and when the locals head deep into their burrows and the ghosts rise up to once again watch the action while sharing a brew, to use an old quote – “get your backside trackside”, rider, passenger or spectator, the trip to Port Pirie will be more than worth it!

For all of the need to know on how the rebirth of the Port Pirie Longtrack is coming along, head to their Facebook page to keep up to date: https://www.facebook.com/groups/248312968887547

The top three point scorers after the heats qualify directly through to the final, while the fourth to seventh highest point scorers qualify for the semi with only the winner progressing through to the final.
The championship is one of the most open events for many years with no outright favourite, but Mildura’s Blake Schlein, who was third in the Victorian Title, has been in hot form at Wingfield this season winning four finals to date which include the Mick Hargreaves Memorial.
Hayden Pascoe from Windsor is the only rider to lower Schlein’s colours in the last meeting as well as winning the final at Gillman the previous week.

Each meeting is held between 16 riders over 20 heats with the top 8 point scorers competing in two semi-finals with the first two progressing through to the final.
Six previous Australian champions are amongst the sixteen rider lineup.

Most of the riders in the field started their careers off in the junior ranks and have progressed through to senior level. They are now professional riders who ride in three or more leagues in Europe.
South Australia’s Steven Baker started riding in juniors at Wingfield and went on to be the first Australian win the World European Under 21 Championship. His late father Graham was one of the people behind setting up the Wingfield circuit and his family are the major sponsors of the Australian Solo Championship, namely CBS BINS.
