The excitement is building as the stage is set for the launch of the Gawler Motorcycle Centre 2024 SA Reliability Trial Championships.
It’s an exciting new era for the Championship in 2024 with the announcement late in 2023 that the Gawler Motorcycle Centre had signed on to be the naming rights sponsor for 2024. Please welcome John & Sue Davies and if you get the chance, please thank them for supporting one of SA’s major Championship series.
I would like to express my thanks to the Gawler Motorcycle Centre for their support in the 2024 Championship. This has been key to upgrading our backup timing tablets, which work in connection with the race result timing system. I am looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and excited to see the talent come out for 2024,” said Christopher Paunola, the Sports Manager for the Gawler Motorcycle Centre 2024 SA Reliability Trial Championships.
After a nail-biting 2023 season where champions emerged victorious, only as the dust settled after the final rounds, anticipation for the 2024 Championships is palpable. With a calendar brimming with thrilling events and fierce competition, enthusiasts are in for a treat.
Kicking off the Championships on May 4th is The Phillip Haydon Trial, set to ignite the Tarlee District once again. Hosted by the Gawler Motorcycle Club, this event will feature the beloved day/night format, providing riders with a comprehensive experience of the picturesque Tarlee District.
The excitement doesn’t stop there, as the fan-favourite 64th running of the Keyneton MCC’s ‘Annual Road trial, now named the Mike Connors Trial, returns to the Keyneton District on May 25th.
And marking its annual pilgrimage, the Lew Job 2 Day Trial (50th – big deal) will take place over the June Long Weekend at ‘Robbie,’ promising enthusiasts, as always, the renowned Mutton and Gravy Rolls at the Robertstown Oval again in 2024.
After the July break for the 100th Anniversary Hardi 24 Hour Trial, the calendar restarts with the Gil Harris Trial at Mallala hosted by the Levis MCC, followed by the SAPMAC presented River Murray Trial, (where) and the Beryl Pearse Trial lighting up the Clare District to finish the Championship.
As the stage is set and the entries are about to go live, the burning question remains: Will the returning champions continue their reign, or will emerging talents ascend to the throne in 2024?
With the intensity of the competition and the unpredictable nature of Reliability Trials, fans will have to wait with bated breath to witness all the unfolding events of 2024.
