Welcome to Meningie Motorcycle Club Inc..

Sponsored by: Meningie Motorcycle Club,  

A huge crowd gathered at the Meningie Moto-Cross track to watch more than ninety riders take part in the Clubs annual Pony Express on the weekend in perfect conditions.

The slippery, wet and muddy track made for an entertaining day for both riders and spectators.

The unusual event is a tag team race where pairs of riders alternate in riding the moto-cross and scrub track. The team made up of Robert Savage and Aaron Walter took out the gruelling event with locals Callan Bradley and Scott Liebelt runner up and James Harrison and Rhys Fischer in third place. Solo rider Daniel Hartman took out the solo title. Jason Rayner and Gavin Relf took out the veteran class with Mark Reu and Adrian Schulz, runner-up and Paul Barrow and David Sheidow, third. Ravelle Mansfield took out the veteran ironman title. First in the quad event was Michael Gibbs with Perry Gibbs runner-up and Darren Jenke in third position. Travis Paddick and Josh Bowden were first in the pro-lite class followed by Sam Artini and Chris Dawes in second position with Ben Klocke and Sam Nichols third. The pro-lite ironman title was won by Brad Fenton. The 125 junior class was won by Josef Oliver and Duke Vlaanderen with locals Joe Bird and Jace Stephenson runner-up and Jackie Gibbs and Elijah Weise third.  Lucas Eve and Ethan Rickaby came home first in the 80/85cc class with Jayden Millstead and Daniel Standley runner-up. Joss Hunt and Thomas Gardner were third with Josef Oliver taking out the ironman title. Brodie Shiedow was first in the 60/65 cc class followed by Lucas Eve, and Cooper Shiedow third. Luke Rayner won the 50 cc class with Jacob Smith runner-up. The next event on the Meningie Motorcycle Club Calendar is a flat track event on the property of Greg Rowett, a kilometre passed the home track, on August 29.

Express Success in Meningie

A record eighty-two entries was received at the annual Meningie Motorcycle Clubs Pony Express on Sunday June 28.  In perfect conditions the tag team race also attracted a huge crowd of spectators to watch the event which was sponsored by Bridgeland Motorcycles, Bonney’s Hardware and Electrical and Coonalpyn Farm Machinery with all the prizes donated. There were even several spectators from the sky with various flying craft hovering overhead during the day. The main event of the day was the gruelling Senior Class race with a record 35 riders battling for more than two hours over both the motocross and endure tracks covering more than eight kilometres in each loop before changing riders with some participants riding solo. The coveted first place was taken out by Richard Barker and Josh Hoskins, but the placings were so close, that there was some confusion with the results in the end with the first five teams being only single points apart and a tie for second position discovered on a count-back the next day. That second spot was finally awarded to two local teams, Shaun Cunneen and Mark Stephenson as well as Scott Liebelt and Rhys Fischer with the third place awarded to Sam Artini and Tyrone Igady. There was also equal firsts in the veteran’s class with Richard Ytsma and Mark Rev tying with Chris Major and Joe Bunnick. Second prize was awarded to D Bradbrook and Todd Cusack and third was won by Craig Trottman and Rob Vlaanderen. The team of brothers Mike and Perry Gibbs took out the quad class Pony Express with Richard Gould and Darren Jenki taking home second prize and Alistar Watson and Michael Traynor winning third. Joel Rinaldi and Nick Hartmann won the Pro-Light class with Jack Simonds and Bradley Pickering coming in second. Local riders Sam Ayres and Tim Halliday took home the third prizes. Nathan Ayres and Duke Vlaanderen were the winners of the 125 Junior-Lights class with locals, Jackie Gibbs, one of only three female riders on the day, and Sam Bird taking out second while Bill Traeger and Callum Norsworthy took home the third prize. The 80/85 class Pony Express event saw the teams take to the motocross track only at Meningie with first place going to local riders Jace Stephenson and Joe Bird. Second place went to Daniel Standley and Ethan Rickaby and third spot was won by Travis Klitcher and Jordan Heinrich. The mini bike class and 60/60 cc classes are not tag team events and the first prize was awarded to the only entrant in the mini bike class, Gena Mandfield while Matthew Bunnick and Sam Hunt took out equal first in the 60/65 cc class with Joss Hunt taking home the second prize.

Round four is the next event on the Meningie Motorcycle Club Calendar. This will be a flat track event at a new sight 21 kms north of Meningie on the Ashville road on 12 July.
