Cafe Racer Club 2008 Racing Plan
The Café Racer Club’s interclub series is designed to provide a platform of competition for South Australian road racers at all levels. The strategy is to provide events where riders have a realistic chance of a win and a logical progression to follow as their skill level develops.

For novice and hobby riders the progression commences through the platform of Bracket Racing, where riders are pitted against others who lap the circuit in similar lap times, regardless of the type of machine they compete on.

The Reece Bancell Trophy is limited to C and D-grades, making this the event of choice in South Australia for these introductory grades. This is an important trophy series for the club, with the perpetual trophy first being awarded in 2004. The winner is considered to be South Australia’s Star of Tomorrow, and the prize supports their entry to competition at the National level. Competition in this class has been strong since its’ introduction. The Steve Martin Cup, introduced in 2006, provides a competitive class for B-grade riders. The winner is considered South Australia’s new Rising Star. This cup is conducted within the Unlimited field, providing riders upgraded to B-grade the opportunity to continue racing with their peers at Interclub events. With the recent introduction of deferred national grading, and the occasional rapid rise of a hard-charger, the Steve Martin Cup is open to non-A-graders, i.e. B-grade, deferred-B-Grade, C and D-grade. This will allow competitive fields over the life of the Cup. The series prize will assist the winner to pursue the Australian Championship in the following year.

Subsidiary to the Unlimited class is a Twins class, providing a further level of competition within the field between machines which may not be competitive in the outright field. As well as the trophies, prizes will be offered at each round for outright placings in the Unlimited events, providing the opportunity for A grade riders to share in the prize pool. A 10 lap A & B Grade feature race provides another opportunity for these riders to get valuable track time.

A wide variety of motorcycles are also supported with the Limited class, which features a range of single and twin cylinder machines, including 125cc GP and super-motard, pitted against up to 400cc four cylinder bikes. Incorporated within Limited is a Mini Twins class for 4 stroke twins under 700cc. Historic machines are catered for in separate classes.

Whilst we wait for the number of Junior competitors to build to a viable level, the club is committed to supporting those who wish to enter the sport, providing track time for their coaching and practice at every possible opportunity on ride days and race meetings.

The Café Racer Club events support competition from beginner/hobby level with Bracket Racing, progressing to the Reece Bancell Trophy for the Stars of Tomorrow, through to the Steve Martin Cup for the Rising Stars, and up to the Unlimited class, open to all grades.

This is represented diagrammatically below:

Competitors to provide officials
In a new approach to counter declining numbers of officials, the interclub meetings for 2007 will have a roster of riders who are expected to provide officials at each round. The high turnout of competitors for race meetings has enabled us to drop the roster back from a full weekend to a single day of duties for each competitor. Queries can be made with the roster manager, Andy 'Slim' Slater on 0414 190 075.

Want to get involved but can't afford to race? There are always opportunities to participate in an official role. The club will provide free membership and on the job training for willing volunteers. Give it a try! It's a great way to get close to the sport and the competitors. Many of our current riders started as officials and many of our officials started as riders. If you love the sport like we do, both are as rewarding as each other. Drop John, our , a line and he'll help you start along the path to getting more value from your days.

If you have ridden in South Australia, you may well find a picture of yourself on one of the following links. It's well worth a browse through. You don't have to have a Cafe Racer Club logo on your bike to appear here, but it does seem to help our photographers find you on the track!
