PRESS RELEASE
Australian Sidecarcross Association,
2014 Murray Williams Sidecar Cup The Australian Sidecarcross Association (ASA) is proud to announce the inaugural running in 2014 of the Murray Williams Sidecar Cup. This event will showcase Sidecar Motocross as seen in the yesteryears with the development of a premier Sidecar Motocross Race Day in South Australia.
The ASA President, Mr. Rocky Warren said, “The ASA have worked tirelessly in developing an event with a race format with generous rewards to that was experienced from the 1960’s through to the 1980’s. At the same time there was an overwhelming need to acknowledge the efforts of a true Legend of the sport, Murray Williams and his long time passenger Wayne Kearvell, who together won many MX sidecar titles Although both recently retired from Motocross Sidecars they are still passionate supporters of our sport.”
As a result, and as a tribute to Murray Williams, the ASA will be holding the inaugural “Murray Williams Sidecar Cup” in place of the ASA titles, on October 26th 2014. In addition, the Wayne Kearvell Trophy will be introduced to acknowledge the outstanding achievement of a sidecar passenger at this event, regardless of the class they are riding.
This year the event will be held at Murray Bridge, with over $3,000.00 in total prize money shared across all classes, with the exception of Junior Sidecars, who will be awarded trophies for the Junior Murray Williams Cup. Racing will consist of 3 rounds of racing for all the usual classes from Juniors, pre 1968 through to the Modern A & B Grade. The final event of the day will be the “Murray Williams Sidecar Cup”. It will consist of 3 races of 4 laps each, back to back, which will allow anyone to have a real shot at taking out the Murray Williams Cup and taking home the first prize of $500.00. Prize money will place back to 6th.
This is an event you will not want to miss with Supplementary Regulations and Entry Forms available from the Motorcycling South Australia and ASA Websites. This event is an ideal opportunity for the interstate riders to ride the MA Australian title at Horsham (Vic) or the SA Historic Championships at ACUSA Park (SA) the weekend prior, and then venture over the following weekend and earn some valuable prize money.
A feature of this event will be a spirited demonstration of many of the past retired Sidecar racers and their passengers, on both historic and modern sidecars. The ASA already have a strong commitment from the “Legends of Past years” who we all followed as young kids in the 60’s 70’s, 80’ & 90’s.
