Ivan Golding, Club President, Speedway Riders Association of SA said:“The last time we ran the Speedway Sidecar national titles at Gillman Speedway it was a great success and while we don’t have as much time to prepare as we have in the past, we are doing all in our power to make it a huge success in 2022.”
Peter Doyle, Motorcycling Australia, CEO added: “On behalf of Motorcycling Australia and the wider community of speedway competitors and fans, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to the Speedway Riders Association of South Australia for stepping up in this manner so the 2022 Australian Speedway Sidecar Championship can proceed on the original date.
