The Marrabel Rodeo Grounds will once again echo to the sounds of motorcycles for Gawler Motorcycle Clubs ‘Phillip Haydon Reliability Trial’ on Saturday May 3rd. The Day/Night event will take in two laps of the approximately 95 km course, with the first Open Class bike starting at 1 pm. The final competitors are expected to finish just before 10 pm. A non-competitive Rally class will complete one lap, starting at 11 am.
There will be 7 competitive sections per lap taking in hilly scrub, rocky hill sides, creeks and open paddocks. The seventh and final competitive section will take in areas of the Rodeo Ground Complex. This will provide spectators, support crews, friends and family with a great opportunity to get up close to all of the off-road action just meters from the Stating and Finishing area. The first bikes are expected to start this final section at approximately 4:15pm and again after dark at 7:15pm
Each Open Class Competitor who completes the event, will be given a raffle ticket and go into a draw to win one of 3 Micks Motorcycle vouchers to the value of $100. The draw will be conducted shortly after the final bike crosses the finish line. Competitors will have to be present to collect their prize, the raffle will be re-drawn until all 3 vouchers are won.
As always there will be full catering within the Start/Finnish Area as well as bar facilities. A bonfire,music and the live display of section times/ provisional results will add to the post-race atmosphere, and the GMCC encourage people to hang around and swap stories of the days racing
Camping is available both Friday and Saturday night.
