This Sunday, September 8th, the highly anticipated 2024 SA Dirt Track Championship returns as Mud N Tars MCC unleashes the excitement at the Day Road Dirt Track Circuit. With 45 riders and 80 bikes from SA, NSW, and VIC already locked in, and entries still open until Friday, September 6th, the competition promises to be tighter than ever. With such a fierce lineup, each contender will need to bring their best as they fight for the prestigious State Championship title.
Competitors:
After narrowly missing out on the 2023 Pro 450 Championship title, Kyle Machin returns with renewed determination to claim the crown in 2024. However, with seasoned competitors like Liam May, Victoria’s Riley Plum, and NSW’s Jayden Roberts all eyeing the top spot, the path to victory will be anything but easy.
With the 250cc class heating up, reigning champion Casey Clarke is ready to take charge and push his championship run into 2024.
Joining the talented lineup this weekend, SA’s Jamie Gwiazda and Kirsty Schults are set to dominate the Pro Women’s Class, while Julian Timmis and Robert Stout will prove that age and experience go hand in hand in the Veterans 40+ class. Meanwhile, the relentless James Hayden and Tyler Battams are gearing up for a fierce showdown against 2023 Junior Champion Harry Sadler, who is making his debut in senior competition for 2024.
Adding to the weekend’s buzz, more than 35 junior racers will provide a thrilling glimpse into the future of the sport. Among them, Archie Schmidt is trading in his road bike for some dirt track action as he returns to defend his 85cc 2-stroke and 150cc 4-stroke Championship titles. But with a stacked field of competition, including rising star Connor Machin, the battle for the top spot is far from guaranteed. Will Archie steal the show once again, or will the fierce competition have something to say about that?
Rounding out the weekend’s stacked lineup of classes, an aspiring group of 50cc demo non-comp riders will take to the track, soaking up all the excitement and atmosphere of a state championship before making their entrance into competitions in the coming years.
