Recently the club were approached by Bill Berlemon from the South Australian Vintage Speedcar Association (SAVSA) who wanted to invite the club to participate in some of the long established events that SAVSA are involved in.
The South Australian Vintage Speedcar Association is a long standing club that promotes and preserve Speedway's "Golden Era" at Rowley Park Speedway. It is dedicated to the innovative builders and heroic drivers of speedcars and three quarter midgets (TQ's) that competed on dirt speedways prior to 1980, mainly at Rowley Park.
SAVSA have unfortunately experienced a decline in participants in recent times, which has caused them to consider what the future of events might look like for them. The concern being that the decline in numbers may potentially threaten the clubs ability to hold future events at all, if participation numbers drop too far.
So Bill from SAVSA reached out to us to see if we would be interested in attending some of the SAVSA events and showing our Cyclekarts. The idea being that we can help to boost participant numbers for events, and in return we get a helping hand in getting the club established, which also includes track time at their Kapunda events.
SAVSA have a pretty full events calendar with one event generally being held every month. They also have quarterly track days held at The Kapunda Track which are held in a test-and-tune format. This follows a long tradition of Speedcars and Cycle Speedway events at the Kapunda Track.
Bill attended the SA monthly club meeting this past Friday and took the time to run through SAVSA's event calendar and tell us a bit about their history and goals. We think that this is a fantastic opportunity for the club and will of course help to get exposure for Cyclekarts and Cyclekarting. It's a great first step towards eventually holding events of our own.
I will add the SAVSA events to the event calendar and encourage anyone that has a Cyclekart, even if it is not fully completed, to enrol to attend. Events are open to all.
Even if you do not currently have a cyclekart, but are planning to build one. It could be a good target to aim to attend a future event and get cracking on your build. There's nothing like a deadline to help get you motivated.
If you are interested in attending any of the events listed please flick me an email toThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and include your phone number and some details about your cyclekart.
For those who are located interstate, we are looking for state representatives to join the club committee and help promote cyclekarting in each state. If you are interested in a committee role, please get in touch.
